**[>>Ticket needed<<](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/eating-drinking/walk-connect-christmas-market-mingle-meet-7404789603452853078.html)**
**🎄 Walk & Connect – Christmas Market Mingle & Warm Soup**
Ever gone for a quick stroll and instantly clicked with a total stranger? Perfect, that’s exactly the vibe of our Christmas Market Walk & Connect!
📲 Join our WhatsApp chat to keep up with the event:
https://chat.whatsapp.com/HGKLziV4s7bLZWEiouTQhi
(if you run into trouble open it in WhatsApp Web on your desktop)
Join us for our event where you meet lots of new people fast, no pressure, no stiff small talk, no weird expectations. Just good energy, real conversations, and a bit of festive chaos.
Plus, you get a warm soup from **SuppeR,** Zürich’s new stew legends who basically serve happiness in liquid form.
**How it works:**
* ✨ **Start with a warm soup**
Because nothing says social courage like holding a hot bowl of nutritious goodness.
* 👣 **8-minute pair walks:**
You’ll be matched with someone for an 8-minute walk through the Christmas market, just long enough for a fun, natural connection.
* 💬 **Icebreaker questions included:**
No awkward small talk! You’ll receive thoughtful, playful questions to spark real conversations
* 🔄 **Switch & repeat**
After each round, you come back to the meeting point, we reshuffle the pairs, and you head out again, meeting many new people in one magical evening.
🎁 **Who’s it for?**
* New in Zürich and want friends
* Not new in Zürich and still want friends
* Love Christmas markets
* Love soup
Come solo, leave with new connections, funny stories, and probably a strong opinion on which stall sells the best roasted nuts.
🎉 **Extend the fun!**
If you’re up for more social chaos after the walk, we’re also hosting an amazing pub quiz at Boho Bar from 20:00. You can grab a bundle ticket that includes both the Christmas Market Walk & Connect and entry to the pub quiz. Meet more people, laugh more, and maybe win some glory! The ticket for the Pub Quiz also includes tasty snacks + a bottle of Prosecco for the winning team 🍾
**Important:** Tickets are non-refundable. Photos may be taken during the event; if you prefer not to appear in any pictures, please let the organizer know.

On the far Earth colony Pandora, the Sully family's peace is officially over. The third chapter, *Avatar: Fire and Ash*, plunges our heroes into a searing new conflict with the formidable Mangkwan clan, also called the Ash People - a volcanic Na'vi tribe led by the fierce Varang (Oona Chaplin). Driven by a darker agenda, Varang agrees partner with the vengeful Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang). As Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) grapple with the lingering grief from their last battle, they must lead their family into a devastating war that threatens to consume not just their home, but their very bond.

ZH3 Hash # 1692: Bye Bye Xmas Market and a Hashy New Year
Christmas is nearing, and with that, the Glühwein is quickly running at! This will likely be your LAST chance to see drunk santa's fight over the last Glüwein at the Bellevue Christmas market! So come out, escape your family and find one last respite at the Hash!
We will meet at the Stadelhofen Bahnhof lockers for the bag drop, for a short but pleasant run through the city, followed by one more visit at the Christmas Market at Bellevue for a late lunch, early dinner and last chance to breathe in some festive energy before the REAL deal starts.
**Where**:
See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 13:50 pm to start at 14 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.

Fast Friending - Meet ladies & gents! (21-35/Free Shot/Bring a lady free)
Meet like-minded ladies and gents in a relaxed, welcoming setting in Zurich!
Our Fast Friending evening is designed for ladies & gents who appreciate real conversations and meaningful connections. Whether you're new to the city or expanding your circle, the atmosphere encourages comfort, openness, and genuine interaction—without pressure or awkwardness.
**You will need to buy a ticket for attending -**
[https://zurich20thdec.eventbrite.co.uk](https://zurich20thdec.eventbrite.co.uk)
\*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout. It will ask you for your email address but that is only to send you a receipt. You do not need a PayPal account.
TICKETS:-
Early bird - CHF 10
Regular ticket - CHF 15
Cash at the meetup - If you have not purchased your ticket in advance then you can pay CHF 20 per person in cash on the day of the meetup to Daryna (Please bring exact change)
'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. These are people in the age group of 21 and 35 and so you will be on a similar wavelength. Naturally you can always choose who to speak with based on your preference!
**Here’s how our Fast Friending works:-**
\- We will meet at 7\.00 and have time to get settle down and get a drink\.
\- From about 7\.30 to 8\.30 we will run the fast friending system\. Half of the group \(mixed gender\) will stay in a fixed place and the other half of the group \(mixed gender\) will be asked to rotate\. During these intervals\, each pair of people will get the opportunity to talk to each other\.
\- Daryna will be hosting the evening and she will organize the fast friending process\. She will indicate when you should move to the next person\.
\- From 8\.30 onwards we will stop the system and people will have to chance go chat and interact with those they have met as well as others\.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Daryna will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable.
**Our venue for the evening -** Oskar Kowalski Bar is spacious, has comfortable seating and not very noisy. We have a reserved area where our members can meet each other in a supportive environment.
\- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\!
\- We have many groups in this city\. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people\.
\- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 25 to 40 age group\.
\- Our evenings are not about 'dating' or for 'romantic' connections\. 'Fast friending' is NOT 'Speed dating'\. 'Fast friending' is designed to help members meet other like minded ladies and gents\. It is about new friendships and connections\. Naturally\, new friendships can lead to dating or romantic connections\, but that is not our focus\.
Why do we have tickets?
1. Cover our costs - Our host is compensated for their time and work. We also pay meetup and have dedicated staff to manage our events, hosts, venues and communication.
2. Group Safety - By securing your ticket we have a record and you contribute to a well organized evening where everyone is more committed and better behaved.

### SOL in Columbus, OH
\- A Smart\-guided Short One\-way Loop Bikeway Tour
Short One-way Loop (SOL) in Columbus on bikeways. The smart-guided tour is mostly through scenic riverside parks with a quick downtown peek. All of that in 10 miles!
83% of the route is bikeway, and the rest is Google Maps designated "bicycle-friendly roads". This short ride passes through several beautiful riverside parks. Passing through downtown the route runs alongside Huntington Park baseball stadium, Nationwide Arena hockey stadium, near North Market (worth a stop if you enjoy markets with lots of tasty treats), within a few blocks of the state capitol, convention center, art museum, center of science and industry, several first-class hotels, and much more (see Points of Interest list below).
Easily, anywhere along the way, the tour can be detoured to nearby points of interest. This smart-guided route comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. If your bike has gears, you might use them to climb in a few spots. All bikes are appropriate for this smart-guided tour (even a single-speed if you do not mind walking your bike up the spots mentioned). The route is shaded about 50% of the way. Sweating is optional - you set your pace, starting time, and touring agenda.
Points of interest:
COSI
Scioto River
North Market
German Village
The Scioto Mile
Brewery District
Huntington Park
Nationwide Arena
Columbus Union Station Arch
Greater Columbus Convention Center
**The Meetup plan = Show up, Rally with whoever else shows up, and Roll following the smart-guided instructions.** This is a smart guided tour route that can be ridden any day or time, solo or with others. It is only posted with a repeating set time and date with a tour leader to fit the Meetup format, and, more importantly, to encourage you to get out and ride when it is convenient for you. **If you are going to ride it and would like the company of others, then simply RSVP and post in the comments when it is that you are going to ride - date and time.**
Take pictures/videos and share. Have fun!
***This is a repeating event on the calendar***\*, but the date and time do not necessarily need to be what is posted. **If you are interested in riding with a group, then simply RSVP and leave a message in the comment section** giving the date and time you would like others to join you. If you are interested in riding by yourself or with your private group of friends, then simply do it.\*
***The mission of this format is to create a catalog*** *of free group tour routes available for CycleNuts to ride as a group, or solo, in an area spanning several states. **The goal is to get people out cycling** either in groups or solo. **The vision is a cycling community with resources** available for bike tours, bike talk, and a format for lives experienced at the speed of bike.*
Contra dance Dec. 20 (First Unitarian Universalist Church)
# **Band: Firefly Trace, caller Kenny Greer**
Beginner lesson at 7:30, regular dancing begins at 8:00
**Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
