The Nederlandse Kubus Club or "Dutch Cubist Club" is a club of
puzzle-enthusiasts founded in 1981. Starting with the Rubik's Cube in the
early 1980's when the Rubik's Cube craze took place, the club is now much
more widely oriented in the field of puzzles. Character of
NKC The Nederlandse Kubus Club is in nature a gathering of individuals who
share a common interest in puzzles. Puzzles, as in objects that
"puzzle" the mind and test ingenuity and problem solving
capabilities are very much enjoyed by individuals. Each person will have a
different way of working with puzzles. This nature of working with puzzles is
also reflected in the way the club operates. The club exists by the virtue of a number of
individuals that in their own individual way provide a service to other
enthusiasts. The club has a very low-level structure. Strictly spoken there
are no members. Because of the existence of a newsletter, Cubism for Fun
(CFF), there is a so-called "List of Members" and those
"members" pay a set fee to receive this newsletter,
however there is no formal contract between the "members" and NKC. Activities
of NKC The Nederlands Kubus Club has a number of yearly activities:
Applications for "membership" The membership of NKC is 17 Euro. No rights
can be claimed on the basis of membership apart from receiving every issue of
CFF, which is produced within the year of membership. Since 1994 CFF has
appeared regularly three times each year and the plan is to continue this.
CFF appears however by the virtue of a number of volunteers. If for some reason
CFF does not appear or ceases to exist then no
refunds are given. "Members" can pay their membership fee in
advance for multiple years, but again, no refunds are given. Applications for membership should be sent to
the Treasurer. To get the address of the Treasurer, please
send a request to me: Rik van Grol. |
