Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

Lake Moro is a natural gem of remarkable beauty. Nestled between the Sorline and Rodino hills and overlooked by Mount Pora and Mount Altissimo, it sits at just 381 meters above sea level. From a naturalistic point of view, the influence of the Mediterranean climate of Lake Iseo and the glacial climate of the Adamello makes Lake Moro one of the areas with the highest concentration of biodiversity in Europe. This unique condition also benefits local productions such as cheese, honey, and olive oil. **PROGRAM** 11:00 – Meeting point at G8 Wine Bar Café, Via Vittorio Veneto 20, 24060 Rogno (BG) 11:15 – Departure for Lake Moro Park 12:30 – Approximate arrival, free time, relaxing on the lakeshore, and lunch (packed lunch or independently arranged at local venues) 15:00 – Approximate return **Easy-Medium Level** – About 1h30 and 3.5 km each way, 250 m elevation gain.

Maggio, il mese dei fiori… e della rinascita 🌸 Il momento perfetto per rallentare, respirare e ritagliarti uno spazio tutto tuo. Quale fiore ti rappresenta davvero? Quello che ami, quello che senti tuo, o quello che oggi parla di te. In questo workshop ogni partecipante sceglierà il proprio fiore e lo trasformerà in un dipinto ad acquerello. Non è richiesta alcuna esperienza tecnica: potrai esprimerti liberamente, anche in modo astratto, seguendo il tuo istinto e le tue emozioni. Se preferisci, potrai lasciarti guidare da stencil con diverse forme floreali. 💧 L’acquerello, con i suoi tempi lenti e i suoi movimenti fluidi, diventa un gesto calmante e rilassante: un modo per lasciare andare il controllo e ritrovare leggerezza, colore dopo colore. 🌼 Giocheremo anche con il linguaggio dei fiori, scoprendo simboli, significati e messaggi nascosti… per connetterci ancora di più a ciò che scegliamo di rappresentare. Saremo all'esterno del locale nel suo bellissimo giardino che sarà ispirante per la pratica 😊 (in caso di maltempo saremo all'interno). **Attenzione! Early bird 12€ per iscrizioni entro domenica 17 maggio.** **☕** **Contributo workshop:** **15€** comprensivi di: - mia guida – carta da acquerello – acquerelli – pennelli – stencil - acqua al tavolo - il tuo disegno che porterai a casa con te 🌸 Eventuali ulteriori consumazioni al bar saranno a carico di ciascun partecipante. Quota da poter versare tramite paypal o satispay. Si prega di confermare la presenza entro venerdì 15 maggio. Se il workshop sarà rinviato la quota verrà restituita. Possibilità di cancellare prenotazione entro 48h con rimborso quota. gruppo whatsapp: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t) ✨ Questo non è un corso di pittura, ma uno spazio sicuro di espressione. Un momento per esplorare la tua idea di femminilità, senza giudizio, senza regole, senza aspettative. Solo tu, il colore… e il tuo fiore. 🌷 Ti va di scoprire quale sei?

**History** The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville. Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people. As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support. The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts. In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area. **Map of the Park** Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks. The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.
