LET'S PLAY: ZARNITSA Sports Megagame [It's like Russian Capture the Flag]

LET'S PLAY: ZARNITSA Sports Megagame [It's like Russian Capture the Flag]

Sun, May 10, 12:30 PM
From Left Culture Club: Events & Socials for a Radical Future
4.7

**Join LCC Sunday, March 8th at the Hackney Marshes playing field as we make another attempt at playing the Soviet Union's very own *Zarnitsa,* a capture-the-flag alternative with a small twist.** **WHAT IS ZARNITSA?** Zarnitsa (Зарница), or heat-lightning, officially known as the All-Union Young Pioneer military sports game "Zarnitsa", is a massive multi-player physical sports game developed and practiced by the Young Pioneers communist youth organisation during the Soviet era. The game provides a simulation of military actions such as reconnaissance, co-ordinated offensives, giving chase, etc. Popular once again in modern Russia, this is a simple game designed for children and young people in military/cadet organisations, but great fun for active people of all ages. The rules of Zarnitsa are based on the classic capture the flag concept. Two teams each have a "base area" with a flag contained within, concealed or otherwise. Each team's goal is to protect their own flag and seize the other team's and bring it back to the base area. Players can walk, run, sneak, hide, create diversions and use any means short of physical violence to achieve their objectives. What makes Zarnitsa different from classic CTF is simply this: every player has two velcro-attached shoulder straps that serve as health indicators and can be torn off by the opponents. Losing one indicates "wounded", losing two indicates "dead". The "wounded" players cannot run and should only walk. The "dead" players return to a respawn point or leave the game in some modes. Why are we doing this? Capture the flag is simply top fun and anyone who says otherwise is joking themselves. Zarnitsa's slightly elevated level of complexity should give us just that extra challenge needed to really make it interesting. That said, this is our first go with organising multiplayer sports games, so we'll see what the results are! As always comments, questions, suggestions and concerns are more than welcome - just contact an organiser. Sports games are a great way to get and stay active, meet new people, and break the monotony of everyday life under British capitalism. Let's get out there! For our first attempt at organising a little Zarnitsa league here in London, we'll hit up Hackney Marshes and Wick Woodland. We'll divide into two teams; each will receive coloured vests or other garments to which the health indicator strips are attached. Then we'll take up our places, count down from 60 seconds, and let the games begin! **Note: we'll want at least five people per team for this to really work right, so we'll cancel or reschedule if this one gets less than 9 RSVPs.** There's no limit to how big our group can be of course, so please do join us! Just be sure to either turn up on the day or change your RSVP if you can't make it in the end, just so we know what to expect. Take care and see you on the pitch!

Let's talk & play table tennis in Vicky Park

Let's talk & play table tennis in Vicky Park

Sat, Apr 25, 3:00 PM
From Hackney outdoor Ping pong & fun activities

Let's start with a quick drink at the People's Park Tavern at the Last table or before last, towards the Pub's exit in Vicky Park, in their garden at the back (top of picture), where we'll have a friendly chat about our favourite possible activities. Then we'll walk 5 mins to an outside cafe in the middle of Victoria Park and we'll enjoy table tennis for as long as we want. Because I will occasionally travel to Brighton I'll need so of you guys to host if I am not able. Here are a few ideas for future meetups: Boules with a proper floor for it, Badmington but will need to share the cost of a £40 net maybe one day, Photography for Fun as I used to teach, Outdoor Picnic and Scabble or other games, Wood fire where permitted and guitar Singing noises, Fast walk, Old Days games we used to love when we were younger like Marbles and lead soldiers in my case, Portrait drawing/doodling, Speed Socializing rather than dating, Snooker wherever possible, Volleyball, Arm Wrestling for the Boys and Girls, Meditation, Outdoor Therapies and plenty more... I will be adding profile questions to our Meetup group so you can also take the time to list some of your ideas. Finally ASAP we will start one or more WhatsApp groups to help the buzz.
