Welcome cold lovers! We have been practising cold water plunges for over 4 years. We believe in the benefits of cold water exposure. The feeling you get after the swim is magnificent, it makes you feel alive. We have started this group to safely experience the cold water together. We motivate each other, do active warmup exercises, and also share our life stories with a warm coffee/tea afterwards. The event is every Sunday at 11:30, we meet at the Mythenquai Badi entrance no matter the weather. Take along: a large towel, comfortable bathing suit, flip-flops, and warm clothes (hat, gloves, etc). If you’re planning swimming out take along a bright swim buoy. The event is Free. IMPORTANT: Every participant takes responsibility for themselves when attending this event. Before attempting cold water exposure, individuals with health conditions (e.g., heart problems or hypertension) should seek advice from a healthcare professional. Safely acclimating the body to cold temperatures requires preparation and gradual exposure.

**Walk description:** The hike starts at Regensdorf-Watt train station at 13:10. We will then walk to Zurich city center, where the concert will take place. We need to arrive before 17:00 for the concert, but it’s better to get there earlier to find a spot with a good view. It’s best if you’re in good shape and have sturdy hiking shoes, but I think this is one of the easiest routes I’ve ever done with the group.

Hares: Canada Wet, Saddam. Come join us! A to A trail with Scottish-style terrain, followed by a small tasting amount of "healthy" Scottish "food". Bag drop at the start. Indoor circle if the weather is bad, however true Scots will want to be outside. There will also be a mini Scottish experimental ceilidh after circle **Where**: See location. Look for Scottish speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 13:50 to start at 14:00. It’s a fiver (CHF 5) tae join in, but that covers as much bevvy as ye can drink—beer, cider, or softies—plus some scran efterwards. **All Welcome:** Aye, if you're new, curious, and want to get oot the hoose, stretch yer legs, have a good blether, enjoy a wee drink, and hopefully a guid laugh, then here's the score: \* We're a social runnin'/walkin' group. Ye dinnae need to be dead fit, but a sense o' humour is handy. \* The main goal is to find the 'Beer Stop' at the end o' the 'trail' and have a laugh. \* 'True Trail' is usually aboot 4-7 km. Some folk will dae less (especially the wankers or walk/runners), and some speedy buggers will likely go further. \* The 'Hare', who changes every time (along wi' the location), cleverly sets the trail (usually wi' flour marks) so that everyone gets tae the end at roughly the same time. \* There's always a place tae dump yer bag and sometimes a spot tae get changed. \* After the Trail, we all get thegither for aboot 20-40 minutes for bevvies, scran, and a bit o' fun. This 'Circle' is usually ootside, so stick somethin' warm in yer bag in the winter (and bring a torch when it's dark). If standin' aboot drinkin' isnae yer thing, ye can just head hame. Sometimes we all go for a proper meal after. **So, why bother gettin' aff yer warm, dry couch?** If ye enjoy gettin' ootside, bein' roond folk, and daein' somethin' a wee bit different, you'll probably love hashin'. Gettin' a bit o' exercise is important, and this is the least borin' way tae dae it. 'Hashing' and the notion of a wee bit o' exercise to work up a proper thirst has been goin' for nearly 90 years, and ye'll find groups (Hashes) in maist big cities. The banter and 'traditions' can be looked up on the internet – or ye can just come along and see for yersel'. See ye there. We're a right mix o' nationalities and ages, a proper bunch o' misfits and eejits (at least naebody takes themsel' too seriously!) and we're always happy to see new faces, or 'Virgin Hashers', and visitors fae other groups. Tae find oot mair aboot the Zürich Hash House Harriers, hae a look at... [www.zh3.ch](http://www.zh3.ch/) ( [http://www.zh3.ch/](http://www.zh3.ch/) )

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
