A short note from the Secretary

 

A (not so short) note from the secretary

Have you noticed? The programme has become shorter. What is missing?

We are no longer running the ordinary Open House event on the last Tuesday of the month in the Restaurant Werdguet. Reason: Low attendance. But we still will hold events there, of course the AGM, Marina's colorful slide shows or i.e. a game evening (see January 27, 2026).

The idea for the Open House comes from the old days. It once was a well attended event, not only by members but also by prospective members.

This spirit has vaporized during the decades.

But let's NOT be sad about this and take a look with us into the future. The events of the next period are again high quality or even outstanding.

There is something for everyone:

 

You will learn more about our climate, encounter mammuts, spend Santa Claus day abroad and smell some nostalgia in a Swiss Youth Hostel. Maybe, in your young and tender years, you spent nights in such a Hostel, in dormitories equipped with bunks. You met other travelers, exchanged travel information and spent the night while someone was snoring or you smelt the odour of sweaty socks. However, today, so much has changed, most importantly, the huge majority of the rooms nowadays are for 2 guests.

 

IMPORTANT: In the night from 13/14 December, there is as usual the new timetable for the public transport. As you probably have heard, tram and bus will partly get new numbers and/or change routes. This means that the descriptions “How to get there” are not correct anymore when our January events take place.

As of now (October 21), the details are not yet public. Please check your itinerary before you leave.    

And last but not least: I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the Christmas Dinner 2025. As this is on December 13, everything runs on the timetable which is valid now.

Warmest regards

Juerg
