Hello hello!

Every Saturday from 2 pm to 3 pm we have booked KTH Hallen for the rest of the semester. The idea is that we do some activity/sport for an hour. Everyone is welcome! The primary goal is having fun, not to play super competitively.

This week (Saturday 3rd) we will play volleyball for 1 hour.

I will try to vary the sports in the following weeks. And please come with suggestions for what we can do!!!

All events are published in our sports group on Facebook.

Hope to see you there 🙂

Do you have a boring cup that you would love to decorate? Maybe you think that META's cups are long overdue som colour? Or maybe you just want to paint on som cups? Lucky you! This Tuesday Hangout 30/1 (with QN) Tag Monkeys will pull out any material you may need to paint cups starting at 17.17 in META! You don't need any experience and may just show up at any time! Come and eat our fika, play games and paint cups! (There will still be board games and melty beads) OBS, the cups that are offered by Tag Monkeys are META's, and so you cannot take them home with you so if you want to take something home bring your own cup.

It's time for this year's big volleyball tournament, and this post is actually for the event itself (not the pub). More information and ticket links will be released in this event via blums.dkm.io which, at the time of writing, is not updated yet but will be by Wednesday.

Ticket release is at 8:00 PM on January 31st at the above link. The event will be held at Stockholm Beach Club in Häggvik.

There are 2 different types of entrance tickets, one for the tournament and one for general admission. These are priced around 200-250 SEK. If you want to participate in the tournament, you should buy a tournament ticket (which are limited!). More information will be available on blums.dkm.io and in the event!

Tagg BLUMS!!! Now it's time for the world's best beach volleyball tournament 🏐and for that we need to host an adequate party to celebrate such a ticket release. You are welcome now on Wednesday (31/1) when we open META:s doors for the first time (for DKM) this year for a Wednesday pub!🥳

Next Tuesday (30/Jan) during QN the International Committee will be hosting a special international-themed trivia competition inspired by the classic Swedish TV game show På Spåret! 🚂

There will be free fika 🍪 and pizza for sale 🍕, plus whoever is participating in the competition will get delicious toast 🍞 for free - and the winners will also receive a prize 🏅, of course. Regular QN board games 🎲 will also be taking place simultaneously, so you should come even if you're not sure if you want to participate in the comptition.

See you in META next Tuesday at 17:17!
