Why is it called Foxlol? Background information
Foxlol was founded in the 1970s by staff employed by Foxboro Nederland N.V., then based in Soest. A subsidiary of "The Foxboro Company" with its headquarters in Foxborough, Massachusetts in the U.S.A. This also explains where the name Foxlol originally comes from. The number of members has fluctuated around 100 for years. In the years since, the company has had different names and has even been split into Schneider-Electric System N.V. and Aveva. In order to have a staff association together, it has been decided to make this location dependent.
Employees who work at the Baarnsche Dijk 10 location in Baarn and who work at SE Systems N.V. or Aveva can become members.
Activities
For members, the organized events are usually free of charge, provided you adhere to the cancellation clause. The outings are in a casual atmosphere and are experienced by many as very relaxed. As a member, you can also work up a sweat every week during a game of squash. Part of these costs will be reimbursed by Foxlol. Of course, the Foxlol Sinterklaas party is the event of the year for the youngest.
