Hackergarten June
We're planning the next Hackergarten Zurich 🥳 We're looking forward to see some familiar faces and share knowledge within the open-source community. Spread the word — everyone is welcome! Bring your project, a bug, a feature, a question... or just your time and enthusiasm 💜 As always there will be free drinks, beer and pizza, sponsored by Quatico.
As usual we briefly present the open-source projects we'd like to work on, break up into groups and try to make an actual contribution. We offer free pizza, beverages and depending on weather conditions a great view on Zurich West from the rooftop terrace.
Many thanks to Quatico (https://www.quatico.com) for hosting the event!
ZH3 Hash # 1735: The I Want to Sweat Free Freddie Mercury Experience Hash
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.
For more about Zürich Hash House Harriers, check out [www.zh3.ch](http://www.zh3.ch/) ( [http://www.zh3.ch/](http://www.zh3.ch/) )
Night of the Boardgames @Kabooom Comic Shop
Once a month, on the last thursday of the month we gather at the Kabooom Comic Shop to enjoy an evening full of new, old and classic board-, card- and dicegames. Join us for some great games and nice and friendly people. Most of the people speak english and german. Feel free to join us anytime. The entry fee is CHF 5.-, but you get a drink of your own choosing.
If you plan to come, please do so before 20:00 O'clock, after that it's hard to find a space within a group.
For all news on future events and products you can find us on discort via this link https://discord.gg/XeEKXnk

Urban Sketching @ Botanischer Garten Grüningen
< \* \* \* English version below \* \* \* >
DE
Nach einigen Treffen in der Stadt machen wir wieder einmal einen kleinen Ausflug ausserhalb von Zürich. Unser Ziel ist der [Botanische Garten Grüningen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CJaHZA7BzW2MNqDw9?g_st=ic), der auf einem Hügel oberhalb des historischen Städtchens liegt und den Charakter eines Arboretums hat. Das preisgekrönte Schauhaus, Bäume und Sträucher aus aller Welt sowie die unterschiedlichen Aussenräume bieten viele Motive zwischen Pflanzenstudie und Architektur. Und auch bei fast jedem Wetter lohnt sich der Weg: Es gibt mehrere geschützte Plätze zum Zeichnen und Unterstehen, nicht nur im Schauhaus selbst. Wir freuen uns sehr, im Garten willkommen zu sein, und danken herzlich für die Einladung.
**Treffpunkt**
Beim Eingang des Botanischen Gartens Grüningen.
**Anreise**
Mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreicht ihr den Garten ab Zürich, Winterthur oder Rapperswil via S-Bahn nach Wetzikon ZH und weiter mit dem Bus 867 bis Grüningen, Im Haufland. Ab Uster fährt der Bus 845 ebenfalls bis Grüningen, Im Haufland. Von dort sind es rund 20 Minuten zu Fuss bis zum Garten.
Wer mit dem Auto kommt: Gratisparkplätze sind vorhanden.
Mehr Informationen zu Anreise findet ihr unter:
[https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/](https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/)
**Eintritt**
Der Eintritt ist kostenlos.
Bitte bringt euer eigenes Zeichenmaterial und idealerweise einen kleinen Klapphocker mit. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. Wir skizzieren rund 2 Stunden, allein oder in kleinen Gruppen, ganz entspannt. Danach treffen wir uns wieder, zeigen unsere Sketches und machen ein Gruppenfoto. Als Leitfaden dienen die Werte der Urban Sketchers: https://urbansketchers.org/de/who-we-are/#mission/

After several meetups in the city, it is time for another small trip outside Zurich. Our destination is the [Botanical Garden Grüningen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CJaHZA7BzW2MNqDw9?g_st=ic), set on a hill above the historic little town and shaped like an arboretum. The award-winning greenhouse, trees and shrubs from around the world, and the varied outdoor spaces offer plenty of sketching subjects somewhere between plant study and architecture. Even in less-than-perfect weather, the visit is well worth it: there are several sheltered places to draw and take cover, not only inside the greenhouse itself. We are very pleased to be welcomed to the garden and would like to warmly thank our hosts for the invitation.
**Meeting point**
At the entrance to the Botanical Garden Grüningen.
**Getting there**
By public transport, you can reach the garden from Zurich, Winterthur or Rapperswil via S-Bahn to Wetzikon ZH, then bus 867 to Grüningen, Im Haufland. From Uster, take bus 845 to Grüningen, Im Haufland. From the bus stop, it is about a 20-minute walk to the garden.
If you are coming by car, free parking is available.
More information can be found here: [https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/](https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/)
**Entrance**
The entrance is free of charge.
Please bring your own drawing materials and, ideally, a small folding stool. No prior experience required. We sketch for about 2 hours, solo or in small groups, at an easy pace. Afterwards we regroup, share our sketches and take a group photo. As always, we follow the Urban Sketchers values: https://urbansketchers.org/who-we-are/#mission/
