Regular and Permanent Events 

A number of events take place every week in the same venue. At times it is challenging to keep this list up to date, so your help is appreciated: If you find out that an event is NOT taking place anymore, please let me know and I will take it off the list. If there are changes to time or venue, I will correct it if you tell me.

All information here is provided with the best intention and is hopefully complete and correct, but no guarantee for correctness can be given. (Last update: 18 May 2011)
