Shibashi QiGong Join us every Monday through Friday morning at 7:00 am via Zoom.After saying a brief “good morning”, we jump straight into our daily practice. The session lasts approx 20 minutes, after which we wish each other a “lovely day” and bid “adieu”. This suits all levels (whether you are a beginner or a seasoned Shibashi Qigong-er), as we will be following a video of the 18 movements of Shibashi Qigong. |

Mahjong On the first Monday of every month at 2pm we play Mahjong at the Hofgarten restaurant. Come join us if you would like to play this popular and fun Asian 'card game', played with Mahjong tiles. It is commonly played by four players and is a game of skill, strategy and calculation involving a degree of chance.For those of you who fancy playing this wonderful game you are most welcome to join us and if you have a Mahjong set you may bring it along with you. Beginners are welcome. It is an easy game to learn. |
Scrabble On the second Thursday of every month at 2pm we play at the Cafe Cesar. |
English Book Club On the third Monday of every month from 2pm until 4pm we meet at Hotel Beau Séjour, where a fee of CHF 10.00 per attendee secures the room for our private use and also covers coffee, tea or water. Hotel Beau Sejour is at Haldenstrasse 53 and can be reached by buses 6 or 8 (Europe stop) or bus 24 (Casino stop). There is metered parking across the road in front of the tennis courts. Up to fifteen of us of varying nationalities (including of course non-native English speakers) meet for a lively exchange of views on a work of either fiction or non-fiction in English which has been proposed to the group by the member who will then lead the discussion on it. Anyone is welcome to participate, but must register - and read the book of course! We choose the programme for the following year at a special meeting in December. |
Cultural Events On the third Thursday of every month, we organize special events such as museum tours, visits to historic towns and planned sightseeing. Come join us and cultivate your spirit on a different level! Members are encouraged to let us know of any potential cultural outings you might want to visit. We welcome any and all ideas! |
Backgammon On the fourth Monday of every month at 2pm, we play at the friendly Café Cesar, which is located at the city end of the Grand National Hotel. Backgammon is fairly easy to learn but with the luck of the dice and thoughtful strategy, a player can become a consistent winner. If you want to learn how to play this easy game, come along and we'll show you how!
