Events

The auction and FK farewell drinks will take place 13th of May froom 17:00. It will take place in the FooBar and the FK.

On May 22, the FK (Snellius 301) will move to the new faculty building (Einsteinweg 55). This means that we will unfortunately be leaving beautiful Snellius. De Leidsche Flesch is organizing a large FK farewell drink and auction to which all former boards who were members of the FK are also invited. All members are welcome to take in this beautiful space for the last time. At the auction we will sell objects (that we do not want/cannot take) from the FK.

You can order dinner with us and the auction will start at around 19:00

Do you want to Pool & Dart the night away and compete with your fellow (master)students!

Join us at Poolcafe Levendaal (Levendaal 152, 2311 JP Leiden) on Wednesday May 15th at 19.00 for some pool and darts! The activity will at max cost around 2 euros for some pool and fun.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your cue in the water, whether you go for glory or for fun, you're all welcome! Drinks can be bought at the bar. Switch up in Pool teams or in a 1v1 Darts!

More information on possible food beforehand will be provided later.

See you there!

It is already time for the last lunch lecture of the year! Come to the Sitterzaal on Thursday, May 16th at 12:45 for a free lunch! Below, you can read what the lecture will be about.

Floppy microscale spring networks are widely studied in theory and simulations because of their importance in a broad range of systems, from polymer networks to gels. However, no well-controlled and simple experimental system currently exists which can test theoretical predictions. In this talk, I will show that flexibly linked colloidal particles can be used to realize such microscale floppy spring networks. I will demonstrate that we can extract the normal modes of these floppy lattices, showing the emergence of a spectrum of soft modes with low effective stiffness in addition to stiff modes that derive from linker interactions. Experiments match well with Brownian particle simulations and a theoretical description based on mapping interactions onto linear response to describe the modes, revealing the importance of entropic steric effects. We utilize this system and framework to create the first thermal mechanical metamaterials, i.e. structures that show an auxetic response to thermal deformations.

For one day only, parents are welcome in our beautiful university where we will unravel the mysteries of our stunning studies to them. Have you ever had your mom ask you what all those numbers are? Wait no longer, as we will explain the content of our studies to them in a highly accessible way that will leave them fulfilled. Do you want to see your father programming, or your mother shine a whole new light through a lens? Then sign up for Parents' Day of De Leidsche Flesch on Saturday May 18th!

The day program, including lunch, is completely free. The walk-in starts at 9:30 AM and the lectures start at 10:00 AM. The day's program ends at 5:00 PM (just like your parents’ average work schedule!) and is followed by drinks, snacks and Rino ice! Does this seem like something to you and your parents? Register now quickly!

Once again this year the flesch will participate in the annual Batavierenrace on May 24 and 25. This is a race in which participants will run from Nijmegen to Enschede. In 25 stages we will run over 175 kilometers as a team over the whole weekend. Would you like to participate and compete against all other associations? Sign up via the link below!

Note, this event will probably be in Dutch

For our Dungeon and Dragons-night on Tuesday, May 28th with Fortezza, we are looking for interested people, DnD-players and Dungeon Masters!

Pay attention! There are only a few spots (depending on the number of Dungeon Masters), so fill in the interest form via this link!

Summer is coming, and what better way to spend it than to go to the Efteling! Enjoy the best attractions in the best amusement park together with Flesschers. Come with us to Noord-Brabant on Thursday, June 20th!

Camping, variety night, egg tossing, and much more, because the Flesch camping trip is happening!

Do you want to relive your fondest elementary school memories, have another go at them, or catch up on this missed experience? Keep July 4th to 6th free in your agenda and sign up before June 20th!

See you then!

Hear ye, hear ye, the signup list for the first years weekend for mentors and crew is open! Join us between September 20th until 22nd for another banger of a weekend in Someren. As mentor, you will guide a group of first years with your duomentor. Your job is to make them feel comfortable to be themselves. As a crew member, you will spend the majority of the time having fun with other higher years. Besides that, you have been chosen to support the committee and mentors with activities and more. Perhaps you have never been to a first years weekend, but no worries, that absolutely is not a requirement! For a maximum of 45 euros we will provide you with a place to sleep, dinner, activities, a good time and more.

Please note: If you sign up, it is not guaranteed that you will be able to join. You will be notified of this at a later date. The deregistration deadline is Sunday, August 25th.

PLEASE NOTE: This book is only available in Dutch. Please only buy it if you wish to practice your Dutch. Below a short description about the book.

De Leidsche Flesch vereeuwigd is the century-book, written by the Historical Committee. It contains over 300 pages of history about the association, from the early days until recent history. It also contains interviews with 20 alumni and members of honour, telling stories about their time with the association. The book costs 7 euros for members and alumni. If you are alumnus, but are unable to log in on the website, please contact the board at bestuur@deleidscheflesch.nl. The board will then help you log in.
