GURPS

1st May is a holiday ! So why not having a full afternoon of gaming there on that day ? If you feel likewise, then join this event! Unlike most of our events, this is a more improvised one : some attendees bring their games, and we decide on the spot what we'll play. You may also post your ideas of what you want to bring/play in the comments, to gauge interest among the participants. Outpost opens at 11:30, so you may come from that time, but you can also come a bit later if you wish. Because it's Friday, we'll need to vacate the place towards 6 or 7 PM. **Please RSVP to this event if you wish to come**. Do not come without having done so. It makes it easier to plan that way. Although you can arrive at any time, **please post your estimated time of arrival in the comments**. It will make it easier to organise the tables that way. **Don't forget to unsubscribe from the event if you aren't able to come.** Someone else might take your place in that case. Don't block it if you don't come.

**Please update your attendance if you can not join as this game as we need to know the exact number of players.** We will most likely play the following script: **Script:** [A Grim Chorus ](https://www.botcscripts.com/script/2974/1.6.1)

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive intensity, and the last session is lighter. Program: 15’ warm up **To be defined** Cool down to get back to the starting point… or more S=All out sprint RF = Run fast, at MAS (Maximum aerobic speed) CF = Run comfortably fast (1h threshold) J = Jog, recuperation Notes: It should take about one hour in total, as the cool down will end when we reach back to the meeting point. It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the program, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. For the "run" part, you can follow your own pace and we'll be regrouping in the "jog" part. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims.

***Let’s go hiking in the Ardennes***. This journey takes us through a part of the ***Calestienne, a geological region shaped by limestone rock***. Expect plenty of ***steep climbs, solid elevation gain*** and mostly unpaved trails. Our reward is conquering the ***rocks of Sy*** and offering ***stunning views over the Ourthe***. Along the way we pass ***caves, striking rock formations, the ruins of Logne Castle***, wide fields and some quiet hamlets. The landscape shifts between forests, open countryside and ***beautiful panoramic views.*** ***After our hike*** we continue our good habit of ***taking a nice beer/pancake/snack in a local pub*** in Barvaux before returning to Brussels. **Please don't forget to pay Maikel a drink :-)** We will walk at ***an average speed of 5km/h*** both on paved and unpaved roads. ***I’ve never walked this road before so it’s possible that there are some mistakes in the planning***. Be prepared for this. ***●●Meeting point*** We meet at ***08h45*** in front of Starbucks in ***Brussels Central.*** The train (IC507 – Eupen) leaves at ***09h01 from platform 3***. We arrive at 10h00 in Liege Guilmins on platform 5 where we change to train (L5559 – Marloie) who leaves at 10h13 from platform 5. We arrive ***11h05 at our destination Barvaux and start our hike.*** ***●● Train tickets*** ***\- single ticket Brussels to Barvaux \(14\,90 € weekend / 09\,00 € with train card\+\)*** ***\- single ticket Barvaux to Brussels \(14\,90 € weekend / 9\,00 € with train card\+\)*** ***●● Train back to Brussels*** There are **2** ***trains every two hours*** from Barvaux to Brussels at ***XX:06 and XX:54***.

If this must happen we will of course update the Meetup website and send out an email to those registered. So, it is important to have access to either the [Meetup](http://meetup.com/) website and/or your emails.*** ●● ***What to bring*** \- warm comfortable hiking clothes – ***waterproof hiking shoes*** \- extra socks to change \+ compeed for blisters \- enough water and food for lunch/breaks \- sun protection oil\, a hat and sunglasses OR a raincoat (please consult the weather forecast on [www.meteo.be](http://www.meteo.be/)) **\- some money to pay Maikel a drink ;\-\)** ●● ***Basic rules*** Please RSVP only if you ***really intend to come***. And if your plans change ***update your RSVP latest 1 day before the hike*** so other people still have the possibility to join. This is basic courtesy towards others. ***People who cancel at the last day (24h) or don’t show up for the hike will be blacklisted for future hikes.*** Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the roster (i.e. Yes RSVP - but not Wait Listed) **●● *Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability*** **By signing up for this event you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims.

What's up Friends! 👋 If the weather gods feel generous 🌤️, we’re going full park mode: picnic 🧺🌳, games, laughs… and a touch of chaos ✨ ‼️If not - we'll switch to the usual indoor format at Le Pantin or Café Leopold PDN. 📍Where Park Cinquantenaire, Tour de Tournai 🏰 (that little castle-looking thingy in the park). Can’t find us? 🤷‍♀️ Just ping me here. 💡 The Idea Chill picnic: bring your own drinks 🧃, snacks 🥪🍓, blanket, and games 🎲🏸 (sharing always appreciated 😋). We’ll break into small groups depending on the vibe: games, chats, sports. ⏱️ Timing We kick off at 14:00. Stay as long as you like. Joining later? Just drop a message in the chat in case we decide to move 😊. 🎲🏸 Games All games are welcome in the park - boards, cards, balls, random stuff!

Just DM me. 📢 Extra info might drop in the group chat or via DM 💬. Check your messages 👀 the day before so you don't miss anything critical 🙄. 🐈‍⬛ The Friends Code: 👉 Games we play = group decision 👉 Smaller groups = cozier vibes 👉 Got a favorite game? Suggest it or show up with it 👉 Can't make it? Cancel on time so someone on the waitlist can grab your spot 👉 If you’re on the waitlist, showing up is at your own risk 😄 See you there, folks 😉

As the other days of the long weekend look somewhat rainy, here another suggestion for the sunny Friday - a hike starting and ending in the picturesque town of Dinant. We will get a warm-up climb out of town along the quarry of Leffe, until the path levels out and takes us on a big loop on top of the plateau, with mostly open landscape, fields, meadows and apparently even some wineyards. Expect wide views, some small forests and a few pretty villages along the way. Finally we will steeply descend back into Dinant, where we can find treats for all tastes before heading home. The number of participants is limited to 20, so please manage your registration responsibly: only sign up if you really intend to come and cancel as soon as you know you can’t (this also goes for people on the waiting list!). We will try to keep close to an average moving speed of 5km/h. We will walk both on paved and unpaved roads. I’ve not tested this track beforehand, so it’s possible that there are some mistakes in the planning (i.e. it may become longer ;-). ●●You can find the gpx track here: **Komoot:** https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2797070348?share_token=ampZcY2zXOi42SDm4snE9c1mxHKcu56TO4PNySvYJnl00cHCmq&ref=wtd **Wikiloc:** https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/dinant-loop-261693472 ●●Meeting point: We meet at 9.10 in Bruxelles Schuman train station in front of the ticket machines. Our train (IC 2509 to Dinant) leaves from platform 2 at 09.23. We'll arrive in Dinant at 10.49. ●● Train ticket: One way ticket is 11.40€ or 6.80€ with train+ ●● Trains back to Brussels: Direct trains from Dinant to BXL are every hour at XX.13, with an additional connection at XX.38 with change in Namur every two hours. ●● Specifics: Distance: ± 25 km Elevation gain: 420 m Net walking time: ± 5.5 h Weather forecast: sunny and warm. In the unlikely case of too bad weather, I may cancel a hike, even few hours before the event. If this must happen, I will of course update the Meetup website and send out an email to those registered. So it is important to have access to either the Meetup website and/or your emails. ●● What to bring: * Comfortable hiking clothes * Comfortable hiking shoes * water + food for the breaks * tick/mosquito repellent * Compeed for blisters * some small money for the drinks ●● Basic rules: Please RSVP only if you really intend to come. And if your plans change, update your RSVP asap, even hours before the walk. This is basic courtesy towards others. Repeated late cancellations are not well considered (at all). No-shows are even worse. Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the “going” list. ●● Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability: You are responsible for yourself and should be fit enough if you want to take part. As the participation in the events is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves.

This event aims to gather science fiction enthusiasts to come discuss about the series they have picked to read in the following list: Children of Time, Tchaikovsky Pandora series, Peter Hamilton The Hyperion Cantos, Dan Simmons A memory called empire, Arkady Martine Terra Ignota, Ada Palmer Ideally we could meet in a park if the weather is already pleasant, otherwise we will find a cafe with a calm area where we can discuss around a drink/breakfast. Feel free to join us even if you haven’t finished the series. Please note, however, that we will be discussing all the books—including the ending—so there will be spoilers.

This workshop series is a **follow-up to the ESP32 Robotics workshop**, but with a different concept. Here, there will be no subject set in advance, instead **all participants are welcome to join at any point and at any level, from beginner to expert**. Beginners will be guided though the basics (C programming, how to use measurement tools, soldering, PCB design, etc…) and can get advice on what tools and kits to start with, others can come with their own projects to get help or share some knowledge. ## Requirements * Bring your own laptop (Windows, Linux or Mac) * Any microcontroller/dev kit to develop your project(s). If you are a beginner and don’t know what to buy, come and we’ll find the best starter kit for you ! * A strong desire to learn stuff, good mood and some patience !

The energy is electric! Following our double-climb session on the Avenue de Tervuren, we are officially entering the final stretch of our preparation. It’s time for our fourth and final preview run—the dress rehearsal before the big day. For this session, we are stepping up the distance to **16km**. This route is all about rhythm and mental toughness as we cover the iconic closing stretch of the Brussels 20k course, from the lush greenery of Bois de la Cambre all the way to the triumphal arches of Parc du Cinquantenaire. *** ### The Details * **Meeting Point:** Right in front of **Muski Comics Cafe** (near Rond-point Schuman). * **When:** Sunday, May 3rd at 09:45 AM. * **The Route:** A 16km point-to-point style loop focusing on the final 75% of the official course, including the forest paths and that legendary home stretch. * **Bag Drop:** Available. * **The "Cuppa":** We’ll reconvene at Muski Comics Cafe post-run to swap stories, talk strategy, and refuel. *** ### The Pace: Social Start, Strong Finish We are trying something a little different this time to simulate race-day adrenaline. 1. **The Build-up:** From the start through Bois de la Cambre and the surrounding neighborhoods, we will maintain our **"steady and social" pace of 6:00–6:15 min/km**. 2. **The Release:** Once we hit the base of the **Avenue de Tervuren uphill**, the "social" rules are off! Participants are no longer tied to the group pace. You are invited to **open your feet** and tackle the climb and the final sprint to the finish line at your own target race pace. *** ### Pro Tip: Visualizing the Finish > "When you hit Tervuren this time, visualize the crowds and the finish line arches. Use the first 12km to find your flow, then use the final 4km to test your lungs and your heart. This is where the race is won!" Let’s bring that final-boss energy and conquer the home stretch together. See you at Muski Comics Cafe for the ultimate warm-up! **The Brussels Runners Team**
