THURSDAYđâœFOOTBALL FRIENDLY 20:30-22:00 (Donaucity) w/ SORIN & Video Highlights
Things to know before playing:
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls;
We play Thursday Night Football (outdoor only) . We play 90 minutes (kick off is at 20:30, and we meet at least 15 minutes before for a warm up phase). Post-Corona football matches are most likely between 14-16 and 28-32 players. If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable).
All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below.

We play light: no sliding, hard tackling, fighting, screaming, & hopefully no injuries. We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria.
The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. Weâll confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon.
Sorin SMS/ WhatsApp +43 6764276984 (please ask to be added to our football groups). We will probably need to confirm your presence if you are coming for the first or second time.

One small final note:
Please avoid trying to take justice in your hands. If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Letâs be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love. Thatâs why weâre all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun!
Thank you.

Shut Up & Write!Ÿ Thursdays @Café Pierre
Join us for a writing session! Weâve discovered that itâs strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if itâs true for you at 18:00 on Thursdays at CafĂ© Pierre.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.

18:15- timer starts
20:00 - (the end) chat / take off / keep writing / discussion group meeting.
Café Pierre closes at 24:00
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens when we're finished and before the writing session starts. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and join us!
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Café Pierre!
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafeâs overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Other Important Details:
INTERNET: There is WLAN in the café. The staff will tell you the password if you ask them, or just ask me.
TRAVEL / PARKING: U3 Neubaugasse, U4 KettenbrĂŒckengasse. If you drive there, remember that Kurzparkzone applies.
SEATING INFORMATION: plenty of seats available. It's the big oval table inside, but if the weather is nice in the summertime, we may be found outside.
GUIDELINES: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.
Other information: There is no registration process for this meetup. Just click on the meetup you want to attend and then click on the red button "Teilnehmen" or "attend". If that doesn't work, you can attend the writing session anyway.

An adventure thatâs still doable for most people â but not so easy that it gets boring. And trust me, the views are absolutely worth it. This one is going to be a hit.
đ
Date: June 7
đ Time: ~8:00
đ Location: Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof

â breathtaking viewpoints over the Danube valley
â charming DĂŒrnstein village
â a visit to the famous castle ruins
đ Distance: ~5â6 km
â° Elevation: ~330 m
â± Duration: ~2.5 hours (plus breaks & photos)
**About the hike:**
This route is sometimes classified as red or black. But Iâve done it several times, and itâs absolutely manageable if youâre reasonably active.
Itâs definitely more challenging than a typical Stadtwanderweg, but far from an extreme hike.
â ïž **Expect:**
â some steep and narrow sections with cables
â a few rocky parts
â beautiful exposed views
đ You donât need climbing experience, but you should:
â feel comfortable walking on uneven terrain
â not have a strong fear of heights
â have basic fitness level
Perfect for active people who want a bit of adventure, but not a hardcore hike.
đ„Ÿ Hiking shoes are a must
đ¶ **Participation fee:** 30 ⏠(including train & bus tickets)
đ„ **Group size:** strictly limited to 14 participants
I keep the group intentionally small so the experience stays comfortable, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.
**Participation is confirmed only after prepayment.**
đ« **If you have a Klimaticket:**
Just mention it in the registration form, and youâll only pay a 12 ⏠organizational fee.
In case of bad weather conditions the trip will be postponed.
đžThe main goal of my trips is about enjoying the moment, meeting new people, and making beautiful places accessible even if youâre not a pro.

Social Hike: Beethoven Hills + Seegrotte
Be inspired like Beethoven, who roamed these hills in 1814. After gathering at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof) we'll catch a 20-minute train to a quaint municipality just outside Vienna. A short walk will lead us straight through town and up to its thick walled neo-Gothic church. There, we start our proper hike up and around this picturesque mountain with its token 12th-century castle, which also starred in Stephen Herek's "The Three Musketeers". Expect a lush pine forest, magnificent views and impressive medieval architecture.
But that's not all. Underway we'll also take a detour to the nearby Seegrotte, Europe's largest underwater lake. A mystical place brimming with history.
Price includes train tickets and friendly host. Entrance fee for the 1-hour Seegrotte guided tour and boat ride is \~EUR 18 (not included).
To secure your spots, please ...
Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first (optional but recommended)

Sunday Screenings in the Living Room
Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles.
Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator.
WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion.
**FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends!
Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a âŹ6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution.
**FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.
Transformative Trencin (from Vienna)
Crowned European Capital of Culture 2026 under the motto "Awakening Curiosity", beautiful Trencin lies right on the Vah, Slovakia's longest river.
From Vienna main station, a quick train whisks us over to the Slovak capital in less than 60 minutes. There, we have a quick break before taking another express train to our destination. Once arrived, the immediate thing catching our eyes is Trencin castle, the city's dominant feature. Before making our way up castle hill through Brezina Park, we first wander through the town's quaint city core along baroque Hotel Elizabeth, elongated Mierové Square, the medieval Parish Stairway built in 1568 and Gothic St. Michael's Carner.
Underway we'll have fun with ice breakers, discussion prompts and local trivia. After dinner, we take a casual walk along the Vah river bank back to the station. Heading westwards, our return train follows the stunning silhouette of the Lower Carpathians.
To secure your spots, please ...
Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first (optional but recommended)
Step 2: Complete your booking at https://vienna.ixpat.com/trencin
Bouldering Edelweiss Center
Bouldering Session at the Edelweiss Center.

Bike Ride - Pickerington Ponds to Three Creeks to Three Creeks
**Weather permitting**, weâll take a casual ride from Pickerington Ponds (Glacier Knoll) to Three Creeks and back.

Pace is around **12 mph**, but this is a fun, noâdrop ride â we can slow down as needed.

Powell Gold Star Referral Club Meetup
We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!
Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration!
This session is open forum to share your current projectsâwhether complete or in progress, itâs all interesting! Whether youâre deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, youâll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired.
**New to electronics or curious about tinkering?**
Youâre absolutely welcome. If youâre a beginner and want to experiment, Iâll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things outâwhether thatâs blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience requiredâjust an interest in learning and building.
While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, weâll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
