There was a fascinating visit to the studio of the clubs artist member who specialises in mixing unusual materials such as rubber and gold. This was followed by\u00a0a fashion show\u00a0organised by another member who owns a bioutique. The most interesting part was a\u00a0 visit to the area in Enschede that was devestated by a fire at a fireworks factory.
