**Please update your attendance if you can not join as this game as we need to know the exact number of players.** We'll be playing the original *Trouble Brewing* variant, suitable for beginners. Here are a few helpful links: * [How to play video](https://youtu.be/M-aZP47Nm9g) * [Gameplay video by Good Time Society](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g) * [Characters description](https://wiki.bloodontheclocktower.com/Trouble_Brewing) Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller. A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

In onze volgende uitwisseling van 6 maart bespreken we het boek [Zwarte huid witte masker](https://octavopublicaties.nl/boeken/zwarte-huid-witte-maskers)s van Frantz Fanon en kiezen we een nieuw boek. Veel leesplezier. Tot dan! Nele P.S. Voor het gebruik van de meetup-tool, vragen we 1 euro per deelname.

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. As the participation 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.

Hi everyone, This coffee morning event is @MIR Concept Coffee Store! Saturday, 7 March 2026, from 10:00 - 13:00. MIR opened its doors about 4 years ago, right off Place Jourdan. Doriana, the owner, is a super nice host, and is excited to have our group as her café. The café is very beautiful and has great coffee, and many yummy food options. Their Instagram channel: https://www.instagram.com/mirconceptstore/ **The address is:** MIR Concept Coffee Store Rue Gray 4A 1040 Etterbeek *** 1. The **prime time** of the event is **10:30 - 12:30**. That's when most people will be there. 2. When you enter the gallery, it's either on the right-hand side or left-hand side of its hallway, depending which entrance you take. 3. If you intend **to join past 12:00** (high noon), then there is no need to register. Just come and join! 4. **DON'T forget to cancel** if you can't join! 5. **Please, be respectful towards each other during the event. (And after ;))** **As always, feel free to follow us on INSTAGRAM!** [https://instagram.com/weekendmorningcoffee?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==](https://instagram.com/weekendmorningcoffee?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==) **THE STRUCTURE of THE EVENT:** * I will post the event on Saturday/Sunday evening for the following Saturday. * I send out a reminder to everyone on Friday. * There is sometimes a waiting list. * In case RSVP is closed (once there are 10-15 people on the waiting list), I might reopen it on Friday, depending on the number of cancellations in the meantime. * **For everyone on the waiting,** please check your status and messages on Friday evening the latest. I message everyone on the waiting list on Friday. * **Please, move to "not going" AS SOON AS you know that you can't come anymore, that includes everyone who is on the waiting list.** **IMPORTANT:** * **Please, be respectful towards each other during the event.

It happens very often. * If you have any questions then, message me. *** **A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:** *In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.* *Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.* *I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.* *In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.* **THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**

Spring is here (according to some definitions) and it's time to move our legs again with a hike from **Godinne to Dinant** (\~23km, 600m elevation). We will walk along the valley of the Maas, but staying by the river is boring so we'll have at least three good climbs, visit a ruined castle, walk above steep cliffs and enjoy some great views. At the end, we will have a drink in Dinant (optional) before taking the train back to Brussels. **There are major engineering works this weekend and the railway is closed between Brussels Zuid and Noord stations - please read the travel information below carefully!** **The weather forecast is sunny and 17C, but prepared for a shower just in case. The path will be muddy and slippery in places so wear good shoes, preferably walking boots.** **We will walk at an average speed of 5km/h. This is quite fast.** We will walk both on paved and unpaved roads. I’ve never walked this route before, so it’s possible there are some mistakes in the planning. **You can find the GPX track here:** [https://mapy.com/s/redejagasu](https://mapy.com/s/redejagasu) **Meeting point and train** We will meet in the main hall of **Brussels Schuman station at 09:00**.

It can be bought in the SNCB/NMBS app or at ticket machines. **Train back to Brussels** There are trains every hour at xx:13 from Dinant to Brussels, taking 1h30 to Schuman station. There is an additional connection via Namur every second hour at 15:35, 17:35, 19:35... **Specifics** Distance: \~23 km Elevation gain: \~600 m Net walking time: \~5.5h Level: ***Intermediate (lots of climbing)*** **In the unlikely case of too bad weather, we may cancel a hike, even a few hours before the event. If this happens, we will of course update the Meetup website and send out a message to those registered. So, it is important to have access to either the [Meetup.com](http://Meetup.com) website and/or your email.** **What to bring** **\- lunch \- we will *not* stop at a cafe/restaurant for lunch** \- comfortable hiking clothes – waterproof hiking shoes \- extra socks to change \+ compeed for blisters \- water \(min 2l\) and enough food for the breaks \- sun protection oil\, a head and sunglasses OR a raincoat (please consult the weather forecast on [www.meteo.be](http://www.meteo.be/)) \- mosquito/tick repellent \- some money for drinks/snacks/etc **Basic rules** The number of participants is limited, so make sure that you RSVP only if you really intend to come.

El libro de marzo es **Diario de Japón de María José Ferrada.** **Seix Barral, 1 marzo 2022, 192 páginas.** Si recuerdo bien y aunque el editor la califique de “novela literaria” se trata de la primera obra de no ficción que leemos en Primer Sábado. Para celebrarlo, evitaré usar el texto promocional del editor, como hago perezosamente cada mes, y parafrasearé la [reseña de Andrea Ladino](https://www.japonistaschile.com/single-post/diario-de-jap%C3%B3n) en el sitio de la Fundación Japonistas Chile. *Soñar Japón desde Latinoamérica puede tener tantas variables como las montañas que rodean a esta isla lejana. Para algunos Japón es un anhelo, para otros una realidad; algunos piensan en sangre, otros en ríos. Para María José Ferrada, Japón puede ser también un diario íntimo, quizá inventado, quizá real. Así, Diario de Japón puede ser muchas cosas; a veces una novela, a veces un listado, y, a la vez, la mejor canalización ante una pérdida dolorosa. Para quienes estamos habituados a los versos y a la prosa de Ferrada, no es una sorpresa encontrar en cada página una cuota inmensa de exquisita sensibilidad.* *Diario de Japón inicia con una despedida. Y no una cualquiera, sino con la de un hombre despidiéndose de su biblioteca. Para ello agrupa los libros por países y decide regalarlos. Por azar, o quizá no, a María José le toca el grupo de literatura japonesa. Como toda despedida también es un comienzo, a partir de allí nace un idilio permanente entre la escritora y el país del sol naciente, relación que la llevará a visitar cuatro ocasiones Japón. Esta obra de no-ficción es una mixtura de vivencias entre sus años en Temuco, Santiago, un par de países europeos y, por supuesto, Japón.* *La sutileza y gran creatividad de Ferrada nos permite soñar con una micro que une Padre Las Casas con Osaka, con un Japón habitado por adolescentes de Puerto Saavedra, o con un avistamiento de kappa en las aguas del río Cautín. La mixtura de culturas toma forma y fuerza poética en las manos de la escritora.* As usual for the first Saturday group, you may use both English and Spanish during the book discussion; you just need an acceptable level of oral comprehension of both languages to fully enjoy it. Participar cuesta 1€ (para cubrir el coste de la suscripción a MeetUp). Durante la conversación elegiremos el libro para el mes siguiente, podéis proponer cualquier libro que os apetezca leer o discutir. El número de participantes está limitado. Si no podéis participar, por favor, indicadlo actualizando el RSPV en MeetUp.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
