Trail-Maniacs Luzern - Magic Thursday
In einer coolen Gruppe immer wieder neue Trails entdecken und die jeweils spektakuläre Aussicht auf die Leuchtstadt Luzern aus den unterschiedlichsten Perspektiven geniessen.
Unsere Tour startet jeweils am **Donnerstag** um **18.30 Uhr**. Der jeweilige Treffpunkt wird ein paar Tage vorher im WhatsApp-Chat und die App "Klubraum" bekanntgegeben. In 90-120 Minuten versuchen wir mit einem Maximum an Fun die jeweiligen 500 – 1’000 Höhenmeter zu bewältigen. Das gemeinsame Erlebnis steht ganz klar im Vordergrund. Dennoch kommen auch die „Schnelleren“ auf ihre Kosten und werden auf Extraschlaufen „gejagt“.
Du möchtest in den WhatsApp-Chat aufgenommen werden? Dann registriere dich über [trail-maniacs Beitrittsanfrage](https://form.jotform.com/202275997370060) Du hast die Möglichkeit ohne Vereinsmitgliedschaft (kostenlos) beizutreten oder Teil der Community zu werden (30.-/Jahr). Wir freuen uns mit dir zusammen die coolen Trails zu rocken!.
Bitte jeweils **gute Trailrunningschuhe** mit genügend Grip anziehen. Vom Herbst bis Frühling die **Stirnlampe** nicht vergessen! Im Winter bzw. der Übergangszeit gehören zudem **Spikes** mit ins Gepäck!
Die Trainings werden von den zertifizierten Trailrunning-Leitern Guido Hermann und Nathalie von Däniken geleitet. Weitere Infos zu deinen Guides und weitere Angebote findest du unter [Trailrun Zentralschweiz / up2peak](https://trailrunzentralschweiz.ch/)

*We rock the flowing trails at the foot of Mount Pilatus in the area between Renggpass and Eigenthal in a cool group. In between we also explore the trails on the Dietschi- and Sonnenberg, the Gütsch-, Biregg- and Meggerwald.*
ZH3 Hash # 1735: The I Want to Sweat Free Freddie Mercury Experience Hash
It’s gonna be Hot!! Hotter than a Rockstar on Wembley stage at a Live Aid Concert. Too hot to wear clothes when Under Pressure. But that’s a special Kind of Magic reserved for midnight Hashes and The Show Must Go On so come dressed like a Queen or a Rockstar Queen and set your armpits free on trail.
Iron that vest, polish those teeth and grow that sexy moustache as We Will Rock You around Zürich and hopefully find the Beer before Another One Bites The Dust under the scorching sun.
Hare is Just Beggin’ For It
**Where**:
See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 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.

Island Hopping, Burgers, and Live Music
(bad weather fallback date: 2 July)
Dear ZOWSPers
Every summer, ZOWSP goes island hopping.
There are two islands at the end of Lake Zurich: Ufnau & Lützelau
Every Thursday evening on Lützelau, there is free live music at the restaurant (more info: [https://insel-luetzelau.ch/restaurant/](https://insel-luetzelau.ch/restaurant/))
We will:
- leave Zurich by train (S8) at 16:07 to Freienbach
- start swimming from Spielplatz Seeanlage Freienbach to Ufnau at 5pm sharp
- walk across Ufnau
- swim to Lützelau
- order food, drinks, and enjoy live music on Lützelau
- catch a boat to Rapperswil
Please note:
- Signup on this meetup event is mandatory by Monday (3 days before we go), as we need to book boats to get back to Rapperswil.
- Two swim groups: slower (\~3:00/100m) & faster (\~2:00/100m)
- Total Swim distance: 2.5km, split into 2 parts: before & after walking across Ufnau
- Bring a dry-bag to pack your phones, flip flops, clothes.
- I suspect wetsuits will not be required given how quickly the lake temperature is rising.
In order to participate in this event, you need to leave work early. Here are some excuses you can use:
- I have a dentist appointment (overused & boring, but always works)
- my cat is sick
- it's my {important relative}'s {high-number rounded to the nearest 10}th birthday dinner in Lausanne
- My neighbor just texted me because my dog won't stop barking, and they think a pipe might have burst in the building's hallway. I need to go check on things (the best excuse in this list, because it is too specific to be considered suspicious)
Best,
ZOWSP organising committee
The future of our work starts with a conversation
*«The creative and UX industry is changing fast. Roles are shifting, tools are evolving, expectations are rising, and many people are asking what their skills will be worth in the future.»*
**This evening is not a classic Last Thursday Talk.** UX Schweiz and Syndicom invite the community to **a workshop and open exchange** for people working in UX, design, research, strategy, communication and related creative fields.
The focus is especially on people at the beginning of their careers, people in transition, and everyone currently asking: **What does the future of our work actually look like?** We want to create a space for hopes, concerns, changing roles, useful skills, new tools, AI, career paths and possible forms of support within the community. Uncertainty is allowed, but we do not want to stay stuck in fear.
The evening starts with a short input by **[Pascal Geronimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-geronimi-5112b324/).** After that, we will work in small groups: collecting thoughts, clustering topics, discussing what matters most, and sharing key insights.
Together, we want to explore:
* What currently gives us hope?
* What feels uncertain or worrying?
* How are roles, tools and expectations changing?
* Which skills and mindsets might become more important?
* What kind of support could UX Schweiz, Syndicom or the wider community offer?
**This is an experimental format.** Because this is a workshop-style event, **places are limited**. Please only register if you are quite sure you can attend. If your plans change, please cancel your RSVP so someone else can join.
**Format**
* Short intro input
* Small-group exchange
* Shared takeaways in the plenum
* Optional informal drinks afterwards nearby
**A small question before you come**
You do not need to prepare anything. But take a moment to think about this: ***When you think about the future of your work: what gives you hope, and what makes you unsure?***
**Practical information**
• The event will be held in English.
• The number of participants is limited.
• Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time.

Beachvolley for Beginners at Sportplatz Buchlern 🏐
Hello everyone,
Welcome to this new beach volleyball openplay at Zürich Buchlern 🤗
During this event, you’ll have the chance to meet new people, play friendly matches and learn the basic techniques, if you wish.
This event is aimed at everyone that has never played before or a long time ago and is not sure to be able to pass the ball properly over the net or to someone. If you think you're comfortable playing, I invite you to join the advanced events of Marius: [https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-avsypajv/.](https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-avsypajv/.)
**Tips:**
\- Bring a water bottle \(there's a drinking fountain next to the courts\)
\- Bring **sunglasses**, sunscreen and a cap
\- The courts can usually be watered\, except in rare cases \- so it's good to bring suitable socks if it's hot
**Practical details and participation conditions:**
\- A small contribution is required for court rental and other organisational expenses\, please pay before the event via TWINT at \+41784053495 by **writing your name and date of the event** or cash the day of the event.
\- For any inquiries\, please **only message me on Meetup**
\- Please only sign up through Meetup for an easier organisation
\- Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance if you can’t make it\, so others can sign up or I can reschedule the session
\- If you don't cancel and do not show\, cover your share to keep it fair for everyone\.
\- If it's raining\, the event will be cancelled as it's difficult to book 2 indoor beach courts\.
**Price per person:** CHF 5
**!No shows!**
Lately, there has been quite some no-shows. Therefore, I remind you to sign out 24 hours before the event if you're not sure to come. So that people in the waiting list can join instead. The court is not free, any no-show means wasted cost. In case of a no-show and no payment, I have no choice but to impeach you from signing up again by excluding you from the group 😣
