Let’s meet first
Becoming a member here doesn’t start with a contract, it starts with a drink. Drop by a meetup or hop along to one of our events, no strings attached. If it clicks, you get a personal buddy who shows you the ropes in your first months and together we find out where your energy lies.
Try before you join
This is how it works here: nice and relaxed, and you’re never on your own.
01
Come and try
Join an event, meetup or drinks three times, no strings attached. Costs you nothing but an evening.
02
Get a buddy
If it clicks, you get a buddy who takes you along and makes sure you know everyone in no time.
03
You decide
Like it? Then you become a member and suddenly you’re on the organising side of the best club in Amsterdam.
Our clubhouse on the canal
Keizersgracht 452. Chandeliers, high ceilings and a view of the water. This is where our meetups and drinks happen, and where the best plans begin. Your next meeting is right on the canal.

You on the organising side
Members don’t watch from the sidelines, they build something themselves. Like the Vondelpark Open: one morning a year the most exclusive golf course in the Netherlands, 18 holes straight through the park, organised by our members. Arranging sponsors, making 108 players happy and sending the full proceeds to Stichting Hart voor het Vondelpark. That kind of thing.
