The organizers gathered on a Sunday evening to take a look around at the new venue, and list the new topics. We’ve been working hard to make the forthcoming season even more inspiring and memorable for you.

We are moving!

After a long winter break, we are beginning the new season at a different place. We launched the club in the fall of 2011, and we have enjoyed the hospitality of FISE ever since. The time has come to move on, for mainly financial and convenience reasons.

The new venue is a teahouse and bar called CDFŰ Kultúrpince, one of the most fantastic places of the sort I have ever been to. There are separate rooms where people gather to play board games (or organize language clubs), and bigger areas with lots of tables. The menu is diverse: teas, coffees, soft and alcoholic drinks, snacks, and even a small selection of tasty dishes. You can smell the grilled chicken being prepared while snuggling on the couch, all this flavored with great music playing in the background.

The little group of organizers met a few times in the past two weeks to size up the place, collect new topics and make all the important decisions. Now we are ready to plunge into the rapid stream of the spring season. The website has been fully updated. You can find the new topics under ** SCHEDULE **, and also check out the Contact section for the new address.

See you on February 27th!

Robinson Crusoe and Thursday

“December 27th—The desperate fight against the cruel storm had been going on for an hour or so. Our attempts to keep the sail up were in vain. The gusts were tossing us from side to side. Fanni discovered a tiny leak at the bottom of the run-down wooden boat. That was to be our death sentence. The Lord, however, showed mercy to us and a piece of land appeared through the mist. As the storm was taking us in the right direction, we soon stranded on the island. To our astonishment, a set of exquisitely arranged weapons was awaiting us. After a heated debate, we agreed to take five clubs and finally set off to explore the unknown.”

This excerpt was taken from our travel diary, which we think serves as a perfect explanation for our two and a half month long silence. However plausible it seems, we understand if you don’t believe it. Fine… it never actually happened. We just felt miserable for not posting anything for such a long time. We nonetheless hope it didn’t fail to entertain you.

There are countless points to be covered in our agenda. First and foremost, we are proud to announce that Balázs has officially become an organizer of the club. The first effect of this thoughtful move has manifested as an abrupt extension of The organizers page. Another piece of good news: the spring season is going to last longer (10 meetings hopefully), as we don’t seem to care about the exam period any more – increasing deviance of young university students.

Here’s an incomplete list of the topics to be discussed in the upcoming season:

  • In what way the spread of e-books will affect our reading habits?
  • Is it feasible / appropriate to criminalize homelessness?
  • Do you look at Internet piracy as a serious crime?
  • What do you think about reality shows?

Of course you will be able to find everything in order under ** SCHEDULE ** within a reasonably short period of time. May the stars guide you!

We have been planning to make a loud comeback on February 27th, but you can expect greater changes in the life of the club than ever before. So, brace yourselves! In order to satisfy your intellectual hunger in your impatient anticipation, let us present to you an absolute gem of the TAKE FIVE folk poetry.
