1. IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR EVERYONE ABOUT THE RESERVATION OF PREMISES

AYY rents sauna, sitsi, party and meeting premises for associations for one day at a time. You can find information about all the premises on ayy.fi at /en/students/space-rental/. You should read the website before making reservations for the premises. We would like to remind all associations that the reservation of premises must always be cancelled in writing 14 days prior to the reservation or the association has to pay the rent for the premises.

2. AYY’S OPERATING GRANTS 2012

As in the previous years, AYY’s operating grants can be applied for the year 2012 in the spring. You should mark down in your calendar the following dates; Thursday, 1 March, when the application system will open and Sunday, 1 April, when it will close.

You can already read AYY.fi section “Grants for Associations” (/en/associations/grants-for-associations/), so that you are aware of the obligations that the association has in order to receive the operating grant. There may be changes made to the scoring model of the grants on the website in early February. The English and Swedish translations of the scoring model will be available at the end of February.

3. TEEKKARI CAR CLUB ARRANGES A TRAINING DAY FOR SLIPPERY DRIVING

Do not be a deer in the headlights! Teekkari Car Club (TAK) will arrange the ice track day for slippery driving training in Hyvinkään Vauhtipuisto Park on Sunday, 12 Feb 2012, 3pm–6pm. Please do not hesitate to participate. If you don’t have the skills, we will help you. You can participate with your own/dad’s/friend’s/some one else’s car. The car club is not responsible for damage that might occur. We will, however, take our own van and car trailer to the event in case it will be needed. The fee for the car club members is €5 and the fee for non-members is €20. The membership of the car club costs €15.

The car club builds and repairs its members’ cars, makes excursions, goes to the sauna at different locations, organises events and attends parties. On every first Friday of every summer month, we cruise around the city and a couple of times a year we drive at Ahvenisto motor-racing track. Join the action! Further information (in Finnish) is available at: http://tak.tky.fi/tak/index.php (in Finnish).
