Feel free to bring games, or suggest some from my collection (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/garryjenkins). Please RSVP so I can select appropriate games for the number of people attending. Food and drinks should be purchased on site. Also to have an idea about what type of games you probably will play, you can take a look at the comments of previous weeks of this weekly meetup. If you have any question, don't hesitate to send me a message, or ask here in comments.

Nothing planned for the 24th evening? You are now invited for a dinner. (If the event is already full, feel free to sign up anyway if you’re open to it. I may receive more requests than I can accommodate, as I’ve shared this event on my social media and don’t yet know how many people will confirm. Please understand if I need to decline your participation due to space limitations... In any case, we might meet later in the city, and I can message you to join us after dinner if you’d like, in case dinner itself doesn’t work out. I will let you know **by December 22nd at the latest** 😊) This year, my family is further away, so I thought of opening my doors and spending Christmas Eve together at my place with others who are also around 🎄🏠 We’ll share a meal and some drinks — everyone is invited to bring a dish from their home country so we can enjoy an international Christmas together. You’re absolutely welcome as well if you don’t usually celebrate Christmas in your culture 🥳 There are **12 places available**. The location is in the **Bertrange area** and will be shared privately with participants. We’ll start around **19:00** and stay together until **22:00–23:00**. After that, we can either head to the city together or go home — totally flexible. This is a **well-intended, volunteer initiative** from my side, simply to bring people together. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 😊 Matheus

This is a language exchange event for those who want to learn or practice French, German, English, Luxembourgish or any other language you find an interlocutor for.

All levels are welcome, and you’re also welcome for a drink and a chat of course. !!! AfterExchange-Apero !!! Speaking a new language can be hard, so most weeks the attendees end up going to another bar afterwards to have a beer and a bite to unwind. Follow one of the organizers, to the "hottest bars in town". ;) · Please sit with a group of your preferred language exchange, you will recognize them by the language signs/windchimes · By arriving to this event you agree that the organizers cannot be held liable in case any of the participants violate the current regulations · Feel free to post a message in the group if you are looking for an interlocutor for a language other than French, English or German.
