One sure sign of autumn is that the weekly newsletter is bigger than before! But that’s only a good sign – it means that everyone can find hobbies, events and parties to suit their tastes. You will find AYY’s own and general announcements at the start, and information on events afterwards. After that, you will find the cultural organizations, sports clubs and other clubs operating within AYY. At the end, you will find some Aalto announcements.

 

If you want your own piece to be a part of the weekly newsletter, send it in its finalized form to tiedotteet@ayy.fi by Thursday 10:00 if you want it out the following week.

The association information can be found in the association newsletter. Read it at: /yhdistystiedote

The survey is conducted and its answers are processed by the Student Union of the University of Helsinki (HYY), the National Union of University Students in Finland (SYL) and the Family Federation of Finland. Answers to the survey are anonymous. The results are used in advocacy work on improving the services of students with a family and on making balancing family and studies easier as well as in research conducted by the Family Federation of Finland.

6. Humans vs Zombies Otaniemi 25.–29.9.

The zombie virus is spreading! Does humanity have any chance against the ever-growing zombie horde? This autumn continues the story of the spring. Thanks to international banking system, Technodeal Group Ltd. didn’t collapse and is now going strong again. Remaining humans need to do something to stop the vicious plans!

Humans vs. Zombies is a moderated game of tag where zombie players try to spread the infection by tagging human players. Humans can in turn protect themselves by hiding, fleeing or fighting back (using clean socks or foam gun darts to “stun” zombies). The game is fun and interactive. Since teamwork is often the best strategy, players are guaranteed to meet new people. HvZ is created for campuses like Otaniemi, so we couldn’t have a better area for this!

TAK is organizing its traditional racing day at the Ahvenisto Race Circuit on Sunday, the 24^th of September, between 12:00 and 16:00. This joyous test drive session costs 10€ for club members and 20€ for non-members, but you can join the club on the same day if you want to by paying the annual membership fee of 12€, provided that you meet the other conditions (AYY membership and interest in the club’s activities).

The most important minimum requirement for your car is that it has seat belts and a muffler, meaning that you don’t need to own a real rally car or borrow one from your dad or friend. There are some other small requirements for the car that keep it together and on the road, but nothing that any roadworthy vehicle wouldn’t meet. And even though you have to get the car you want to drive yourself, you don’t have to find the circuit all on your own, as we will meet and head for the circuit together if any of the participants so wish.

More information can be found in AYY’s event calendar and/or on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1604771236253556/  – and it’s probably not a bad idea to check out TAK’s website at http://tak.ayy.fi.

30. OlutmÖLkky 4.10.

This October it rattles and clatters at Alvarin Aukio where the first ever beermÖLkkytournament is held! Grab a few friends, create a team of at least three people and compete for the championship on Oct. 4th 2017. Our excellent DJ will be there to keep you entertained, along with magnificent other activities such as mölkkypong! Winners will get grand prices, honor and fame!

The games start at 4pm and the afterparty starts at 6pm. Teams should arrive at approximately 3:30pm so we can start the games on time.

The Afterparty is held at Otakaari 20 where you can share your success stories over drinks. There’s also a chance to go to sauna to rid yourself of the disgusting smell of defeat, so remember to bring a towel!

The whole shebang costs 20 euros per team (18e in advance), getting your team a spot at the tournament, drinks and food, the afterparty and three badges.

So come on down to Otaniemi on to show your prowess in the Finnish national sport Mölkky or to just have fun with fellow casual mölkkyplayers. Be fast as the spots are going quick.

Rules and additional information can be seen over at www.olutmolkky.fi
