FASC History
FASC has years of tradition behind it. Founded in 1932, it has a social weekend every year which is open to all members – the only year it was cancelled was in 1940, because of the war. This social weekend, usually held somewhere picturesque in central Switzerland, is always a huge success, giving a chance of meeting really interesting people from other parts in superb surroundings.FASC is not just about parties – it also has a serious side. During the war it did sterling work helping interned soldiers and raising funds, and, after the war, organising holidays for Pestalozzi children. It has enjoyed the patronage of H.M. Ambassador to Switzerland for many years, who is fully alive to the very useful function that FASC performs in getting English- speaking and Swiss people together at grass-roots level.
