Something new is coming…
It’s well into 2019 now, and I have to apologise for how bad I’ve been at updating the website lately. I’ve put a lot of time and energy into revamping the Club’s magazine (Klubbnytt) and now that I’ve gotten it to a place where I’m really happy with the dynamic and style, I’m going to…

Happy New Year from the NCQ
Welcome to January! The new year always seems to feel fresh and hold a promise of what’s to come, and for many of us, this week has been the first working week of the year (not for me though… I started back on January 2). So…what does the new year mean to you? Does it…

It’s been a while…
Hello everyone, It’s been a while since we’ve last posted on the website, so, a little over a week ahead of Christmas, we thought we’d drop a line and say that we have some great things planned on the website for 2019, and maybe even a post or two between now and Christmas to talk…
