I.V.V Decadent Weekend

Dear members of s.v. GEWIS,

As the final leaves surrender to the biting December wind, and student life once again descends into a bleak struggle between deadlines, dropping temperatures, and ever-rising beer prices, a faint glimmer of hope appears on the horizon. For it is precisely then, when morale is low and the need for comfort great, that Hèt Dispuut once more presents the solution: Decadent Weekend.

During the weekend of December 12th to 14th, you shall, together with the gentlemen of In Vino Veritas, take residence in a beautiful estate by the water in Sneek, hidden deep within the Frisian lands. There, where the wind blows freely and the wine flows richly, you will be immersed in an ambiance that could tempt even the most devoted minimalist into a life of indulgence.

On Friday, you will journey to the far North, where a warm welcome awaits. Glasses will clink, a meal will appear, and soon you will forget that study credits were ever a thing. Saturday afternoon, true to tradition, will be filled with experiences worthy of retelling to your future children. Meanwhile, a few members of Hèt Dispuut will remain behind to prepare an exquisite seven-course dinner, crafted with utmost care according to a menu designed by none other than our very own highly esteemed Dux Luxuriae.

For this majestic weekend, there will be room for only 29 guests. So polish your shoes, press your shirt, and allow yourself, one more time this year, to be tempted by all that truly makes life worth living.

Sincerely,
Praeses Peters

P.S. This year, it is possible for participants to travel to the venue using public transport. Please indicate if you would like to use public transport or if you want a seat in a car. Also please indicate  if you are in position to grant your car and bring fellow students. Be aware, this year the driving costs will be split among the persons driving with you.

P.P.S. The registration list will open Monday 20th of October 2025, at 6.35 p.m. If the 29 spots are filled within the hour, we will draw lots, otherwise we will use a "first come, first serve" rule.

P.P.P.S. Due to manpower, budget and space, we cannot guarantee that all dietary needs will be accommodated. Vegetarian is an option, but vegan probably not. If you have an allergy, we may contact you to discuss it, as we cannot rule out cross-contamination in the kitchen.
