We have this year's National Day reception on Friday the 26th of June which will be hosted at a very prestigious central London venue. This is one of the highlights of the CSYPN calendar, so clear your diaries!
This is a ticketed event. For members, we are subsidising the cost of the food and drink, so the price is only £10 (which is less than a round at an average London pub, so this really is good value). Non-members are welcome to attend, but their tickets will be £25.
We look forward to see as many of you as possible there to celebrate National Day.
Croatian National Day Reception
When: 6pm Friday 26 June (to midnight)
Where: Royal United Services Institute, 61 Whitehall, SW1A 2ET
Price: £10 for members (£25 for non-members)
Dress: Smart casual

Come down to 'The Old Star' Pub this Friday, 1 May.
We'll be meeting on the Ground Floor, and be starting at the earlier time of 6:00pm, giving you an extra hour of valuable drinking time.
If you come early enough, you'll get the chance to taste a piece of 'gibanica' - a delicious desert eaten in Croatia.
We'll also be taking some photos from the night, and be posting them online for everyone to see.

 Chandos - yet again We're planning to make some changes to our regular pub events. Friday nights are just too busy in the central London. Although we get quite a decent number of people coming for the pub events, due to jam-packed pubs it is not as social as we would like. More details on our plans soon.

Join us in the Famous Three Kings (F3K) in West Kensington, watch the game, catch up with the latest gossip and have a few drinks with us. If you're coming for the first time, feel free to let us know.

 Croatian Hero - Slaven Bilic Croatia passed the group stage with maximum points and is now in (...)finals of Euro2008. Everybody expected Croatia to pass the group stage, but the way Slaven Bilic & the gang did it is amazing - very convincing and stylish. True, the Germans might not agree.
Anyway, if you're an England supporter and miss all the buzz and excitement of Euro 2008, became a Croatia fan, get yourself a Croatian shirts and join us.

 Watch Croatia @ Euro 2008
Although we've been watching all Croatian sport events of the last 5-6 years in Cadogan Arms, SW3, we'll head to Famous Three Kings (F3K), W14. The F3K is one of the London's best, if not the best, sports pubs. The pub is just outside of the West Kensington tube station, very easy to get to.
Another reason to join us in F3K is the fact that Lee (the manager) is working hard in trying to get some Croatian beer in time for the forthcoming tournament!!!

Josko Paro, has invited CSYPN members and their guests to a Christmas Reception
at his residency in Hampstead on Thursday 20th December 2007.
This will be our 5th visit to the Hampstead residency - proving again
that CSYPN is an important part of the Croatian-UK community or that
our members are behaving themselves, or both.
As with last three years, this will be one of the highlights of the
Croatian social calendar in London and, indeed, a very enjoyable
occasion.

Even more, we are organising a Croatian House - a meeting point for Croatian fans in London - for three days (Tue-Thu).
