Who are we?

GIN = Gentlemen in Nyon

We are a group of, mainly retired, men living roughly in the Nyon area with some common interests.

There are no rules (but see small print, below *), no hierarchy and no subscription fees. We deliberately have no leader although each activity has its own coordinator. The club is the sum of its activities which are:

Club Assets

  • An old beaten up card table donated by Rob Mackenzie’s wife to Ken Forrester and then by Ken to the social bridge group.
  • Six socks with the toes cut out, donated by Hamish McCombie to the wine tasting group. Rumour has it that there are now even more socks with some being donated by Ian Cappin.
  • One bottle of absinthe from the Creux du Van hike, donated by Paul. Now drunk.

Costs

The only costs are the web site and this is handled by a “voluntary” contribution of 5 francs per person every few years.
