Read Together!
Need some quiet time for reading? Want to share the experience with others? Join us at the charming venue of La Belladone to read in the company of others. Itâs alone, but also together, get it? We read for an hour, then chat over a drink, then go back to reading (if we feel like it)
This is a free activity except for drinks.
Climb & Chill ð§ââïžâïž
What's up Friends! ð
â©Ready for some bouldering fun? Boulder-what? ð€ Itâs climbing (FR: escalade, le bloc) up to 4.5m high without ropesâand in my case, without much hope! ðâš
Itâs a super fun indoor activity, but be warned: it does require a certain level of physical fitness and/or skill. Most importantly, though, it requires awesome companyâwhich weâve got! ðâš
The Idea:
ð Meeting Point: For those arriving at 15:00, weâll meet at the cafeteria (next to the billiards table).
Feel free to start earlier or laterâjust drop me a message or write in the group chat so we can meet up.
ðª Stay & climb as long as you want - venue closes at midnight!
𥀠Recharge: If youâve had enough climbing for the day (we usually do this after 2 hours of climbing), we may head back to the cafeteria (or to the rooftop if it's sunnyð€ïž) for snacks, drinks & games. Cafeteria closes at 22:00.

**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!**

https://galeries.be/en/skiff/#title-wrapper
## Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Malou grows up in a small town where she stands out at the local rowing club. Her mother is often absent, and she feels left out within the team. Only her brother Max allows her to truly be herself. When Malou develops feelings for Nouria, Max's girlfriend, she finds herself caught in a confusing love triangle. During a summer marked by desire and rivalry, Malou is torn between family ties and the search for her own identity. To fully accept herself, she will have to make choices that could jeopardise her relationship with Max.
We will meet up at the cinema entrance at 15h30, and then sit together. Please be on time.
Cheers,
ð Brussels Sprouts ð±

Intro to Shaders in Unity
This meetup is a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop focused on building shaders in Unity using Shader Graph. Instead of slides or theory-heavy lectures, we'll build real shaders together step-by-step.
The format is structured but interactive. You'll watch a quick demo, then build each shader yourself with guidance. By the end, you'll have created multiple shaders you can immediately use in your own projectsâand understand how to make more.
**What to Expect:**
* Build 4â5 complete shaders from scratch
* Color tints, snow accumulation, scrolling water, dissolve effects, and more
* No prior shader experience required
* Checkpoint files provided if you fall behind
* Resources for continued learning
All experience levels are welcome. Whether you've never opened Shader Graph or just want to fill gaps in your knowledge, this is a supportive space to learn by doing.
**Food and drinks provided. Join us to learn, build, and level up your shader skills.**

"A Treachery of Swans" by A.B. Poranek
Can two girlsâone enchanted, one the enchantressâsave their kingdom and each other?
Two hundred years ago, a slighted deity stole the magic from Auréal and vanished without a trace. But seventeen-year-old Odile has a plan. All her life, her father, a vengeful sorcerer, has raised her for one singular task: infiltrate the royal palace and steal the kingâs crown, an artefact with enough power to restore magic. But to enter the palace, she must assume the identity of a noblewoman. She chooses Marie dâOdette: famed for her beauty, a rumored candidate for future queenâŠand Odileâs childhood-friend-turned-sworn-enemy.
With her fatherâs help, Odile transforms Marie into a swan and takes her place at court. But when the king is brutally murdered and her own brother is accused, her plans are thrown into chaos. Desperate to free her brother, Odile is forced to team up with none other than elegant, infuriating Marie, the girl she has cursedâŠand the girl she canât seem to stop thinking about despite her best efforts.
To make matters worse, there are whispers that the kingâs murder was not at the hands of man, but beast. Torn between loyalty to her father and her growing feelings for Marie, Odile becomes tangled in a web of treachery and deceit. To save her kingdom, she must find the true path to magicâŠand find the real killer before theyâor itâstrikes again.

### 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 âN x M integration problem,â where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesnât 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 Anthropicâs Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connectorâthe USB-C portâfor 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 doesnât just talk, but does.

Fun & easy way to play more tennis (read event description)
Weâre still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches.
These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun!
Also, if youâre looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you arenât already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what weâre all about and sign up:

If you love tennis, weâd love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works.
Happy hitting!
