It's spring, and time to get that body back into shape. Since it's still too cold here to go anywhere outside and actually move, we offer you the perfect alternative:
A hassle-free and (almost) movement-free evening of table games ("table games", not "board games"!). There's table football, and we'll improvise a table t...ennis, too.
In addition to that, there'll be drinks on the remaining tables.
Feel free to join any time after 19:00 on Friday. And bring some more drinks if you happen to come across some.
Overnight stays possible if you're coming from abroad - bring your own sleeping gear.Read More
