(bad weather fallback date: 2 July) Dear ZOWSPers Every summer, ZOWSP goes island hopping. There are two islands at the end of Lake Zurich: Ufnau & Lützelau Every Thursday evening on Lützelau, there is free live music at the restaurant (more info: [https://insel-luetzelau.ch/restaurant/](https://insel-luetzelau.ch/restaurant/)) We will: - leave Zurich by train (S8) at 16:07 to Freienbach - start swimming from Spielplatz Seeanlage Freienbach to Ufnau at 5pm sharp - walk across Ufnau - swim to Lützelau - order food, drinks, and enjoy live music on Lützelau - catch a boat to Rapperswil Please note: - Signup on this meetup event is mandatory by Monday (3 days before we go), as we need to book boats to get back to Rapperswil. - Two swim groups: slower (\~3:00/100m) & faster (\~2:00/100m) - Total Swim distance: 2.5km, split into 2 parts: before & after walking across Ufnau - Bring a dry-bag to pack your phones, flip flops, clothes. - I suspect wetsuits will not be required given how quickly the lake temperature is rising. In order to participate in this event, you need to leave work early. Here are some excuses you can use: - I have a dentist appointment (overused & boring, but always works) - my cat is sick - it's my {important relative}'s {high-number rounded to the nearest 10}th birthday dinner in Lausanne - My neighbor just texted me because my dog won't stop barking, and they think a pipe might have burst in the building's hallway. I need to go check on things (the best excuse in this list, because it is too specific to be considered suspicious) Best, ZOWSP organising committee

It’s gonna be Hot!! Hotter than a Rockstar on Wembley stage at a Live Aid Concert. Too hot to wear clothes when Under Pressure. But that’s a special Kind of Magic reserved for midnight Hashes and The Show Must Go On so come dressed like a Queen or a Rockstar Queen and set your armpits free on trail. Iron that vest, polish those teeth and grow that sexy moustache as We Will Rock You around Zürich and hopefully find the Beer before Another One Bites The Dust under the scorching sun. Hare is Just Beggin’ For It **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **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: • We are a social running/walking group, 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 (along with location), 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 \~20-40 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). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor 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.

Every set is performed in English by a mix of Swiss-based and international comics, so no Swiss-German skills required. * ***What’s a “Comedy Open Mic”?*** It’s the testing ground for jokes. Pros road-test fresh material and brave newcomers grab their first five minutes. Expect some gems, some flops—and the fun of seeing comedy born in real time. * ***Will it be funny?*** Most of the time, yes! An open mic is a roller-coaster: seasoned acts, new voices, and the occasional glorious train-wreck. It’s all part of the charm. * ***Can I perform too?*** Yes - you need to book a spot - find out more about how to do it here: [https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/perform/](https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/perform/). * ***Do I need to buy tickets in advance?*** Please do. We’re usually running around before the show and door sales slow things down. If you’re stuck, we’ll try, but no promises. Link to tickets as at [https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/comedybrew/](https://inyourfacecomedy.ch/comedybrew/) * ***How does seating work?*** First come, first served so grab a drink, snag a seat, and settle in. * ***Is food available at the bar?*** ROBIN’s serves drinks only. For a pre-show bite, try **Restaurant Johanniter** (classic Swiss) or **Holy Cow!** across the street for burgers. * ***Will the comedians pick on me?*** We chat with the crowd for laughs, not humiliation. Friendly banter only - you’re safe. * ***How long is the show?*** Doors open 7:30pm, show starts \~7:50pm with a 15 min break in the middle ending around 10pm. Enough time for the last trams home... * ***Age limit?*** All ages welcome of course 16+ recommended (adult themes, spicy language).

In this Punch Needle workshop, you'll transform simple threads into a unique work of art. Punch Needle is a modern yet relaxing embroidery technique where loops are created in the fabric using a special needle. This results in textured, soft surfaces and expressive patterns. The workshop is ideal for getting to know Punch Needle, unwinding creatively, or creating something beautiful with your own hands in a short amount of time – no prior experience necessary. At the beginning of the workshop, you'll receive a brief introduction to the basics of the Punch Needle technique. I'll show you step by step how to use the needle correctly, how to guide the thread, and how to create even loops. You'll learn what to pay attention to so that your design is neat and stable. The calm, even movement makes Punch Needle particularly relaxing and perfect for a creative break from everyday life. In the workshop, you can choose between two creative options: Option 1 – Embroider a Design You choose an existing (or your own) design and embroider it without a background. This option is ideal for beginners or anyone who wants to try Punch Needle in a straightforward way. The focus is entirely on the technique and the design itself. Here you can transform your work into a saucer. Option 2 – Design with Background Here you embroider your design including a background. This gives your work more depth and a particularly beautiful, flat texture. This option is suitable for anyone who wants to make their artwork a bit more elaborate. Here you can also transform your work into a saucer or hang it up as decoration. The maximum workshop duration is up to 1 hour. Depending on your pace and design, you can complete your work or a large part of it within this time. I will personally guide you throughout the entire workshop, give you tips, and support you with any questions or uncertainties. Everything is optional – the important thing is that you enjoy the process. All materials are included. You will work with high-quality yarns in various colors, fabric, a hoop, and a punch needle. You don't need to bring anything – except a desire for creativity. You can take your embroidered work home with you at the end, whether as a decoration, a gift, or a personal keepsake. If you're looking to discover something new, relax creatively, and create your own work of art in a short amount of time, this punch needle workshop is perfect for you. 🧶✨

In a bleak future where a deadly virus has wiped out most of humanity, James Cole (Bruce Willis) is a convict living in the subterranean ruins of Philadelphia. He is offered a chance at a pardon if he agrees to travel back in time to 1996. His mission: gather information about the *Army of the Twelve Monkeys*, the mysterious clandestine group believed to be responsible for the outbreak. However, the journey through time is imprecise, landing him in a mental institution years before the catastrophe, where his warnings of the future are dismissed as madness. Directed by Terry Gilliam *(The Life of Brian, Brazil, Time Bandits)*. Tickets: https://www.filmpodium.ch/film/172540/twelve-monkeys Dinner or drinks before the movie? Sitting together? Meeting point? We can coordinate it on our WhatsApp Group. Not a member?
