ZH3 Hash # 1715: Saddam 40th Year Hashiversary
40th years of torturing hashers: Saddam 40th Year Hashiversary
Code share hash with WSH3's event. Meet at Winterthur Bahnhof, leave clothes in a locker. On after to be decided on the day - local or go back to ZĂźrich.
Hare: Saddam. The trail has something for everyone - longish for runners, with short cuts for walkers. No desert, unfortunately, but there will be some other difficult terrain.
Background. The person now known as Saddam started hashing in Baghdad, Iraq in March 86. At the time Iraq was a dictatorship at war, so there were occasional disturbances from stone-throwing locals, armed police and Iranian Scud missiles.
Hopefully none of these turn up in Winterthur. Hopefully no flesh eating camel spiders either.
WHEN?
Meet at 1:45pm to start at 2:00pm. There will be a charge of CHF5.00 for participating.

Here's what you need to know about the Hash:
**All Welcome:**
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
⢠Physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful.
⢠The aim is to find the 'Beer Stop' at the end of the 'trail' and have fun.
⢠'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running) and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
⢠The 'Hare', which changes each event, cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
⢠There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
⢠After Trail, we group for \~30-45 minutes for drinks, snacks and some fun. This 'Circle' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark).
**Why bother leaving your warm sofa?**
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing.
'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (Hashs) in most major cities. Its humour and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.*
We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Was oder wer hat einen zu grossen oder zu kleinen Einfluss in Deinem Leben? Welche Aspekte oder Personen behindern Deinen Fortschritt?
Was oder wen gilt es zu verabschieden? Welche Menschen oder Elemente hast Du bisher als wichtige Wirkkraft Ăźbersehen? Was oder wen gilt es in Dein Leben zu integrieren?
Durch gezielte Interventionen kannst Du in Deiner Aufstellung etwas verstehen, verändern, vergeben, loslassen, mehr Raum geben, was Dir vorher nicht mÜglich oder bewusst war.

Fast Friending - Make Meaningful Connections! (25-45/Bring a lady free)
As adults, meeting new people isnât as easy as it used to be. Between busy schedules and shrinking social circles, it can feel hard to form fresh connectionsâand while weâre constantly interacting online, it rarely matches the warmth and depth of a real, face-to-face conversation.
Thatâs where our Fast Friending Evening comes in. Itâs all about genuine, in-person connections with like-minded ladies and gents in the city. Just show up, be yourself, and enjoy an evening of effortless conversations and meaningful new connections.
**You will need to buy a ticket for attending -**
[https://zurich21stmarch.eventbrite.co.uk](https://zurich21stmarch.eventbrite.co.uk)
\*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout. It will ask you for your email address but that is only to send you a receipt. You do not need a PayPal account.
TICKETS:-
Early bird - CHF 10
Regular ticket - CHF 15
Cash at the meetup - If you have not purchased your ticket in advance then you can pay CHF 20 per person in cash on the day of the meetup to Neo (Please bring exact change)
'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. These are people in the age group of 25 and 45 and so you will be on a similar wavelength. Naturally you can always choose who to speak with based on your preference!
Here's how your evening is planned -
**7:00 PM â Welcome**
\- We will meet at 7\.00 pm when you will be welcomed by your host Neo\. She will manage the evening and also help you make connections\.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Neo will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside.
**7:30 â 8:30 PM \| Fast Friending**
\- From 7\.30 to 8\.30 pm\, we will start 'Fast Friending' where our host will ask you to speak to a different attendee every 3 minutes\. You will be able to meet lots of ladies and gentlemen and not be limited to only those sitting or standing next you\.
**After 8:30 PM \| Open Mingling**
\- After 8\.30 pm you will have time to interact with those you have met as well as others\.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Neo will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable.
\- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\!
\- We have many groups in this city\. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people\.
\- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 25 to 45 age group\.
\- Our evenings are not about 'dating' or for 'romantic' connections\. 'Fast friending' is NOT 'Speed dating'\. 'Fast friending' is designed to help members meet other like minded ladies and gents\. It is about new friendships and connections\. Naturally\, new friendships can lead to dating or romantic connections\, but that is not our focus\.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. Weâll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from serverâdriven controls, and why theyâre becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether youâre maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, youâll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standardsâbased way.
