In addition . . .
The famous Kerhis SIMAA (x-tra waffaa) is available again by the barrel (30L)! And on top of that, there are also some more delicious treats and snacks. This event has been generously invested, enjoy!
The event will be held at the legendary clubhouse of the Student Village ~Kerhis~. The address is Ylioppilaskylä 8D4 (in Turku, of course). The clubhouse is located on the ground floor of the red building. The entrance to the clubhouse is through the open green door, from the apartment yard, along Keltanokanpolku, opposite the Tyyssija gym.
There is no need to register or prepare for the event in advance. You can come and go as you please during the event’s opening hours, 3-11 p.m.
You can bring your own drinks and other refreshments as much as you want, and whatever you want. The clubhouse has a grill, stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, and freezer, as well as a wide selection of kitchen utensils and cutlery. The clubhouse has numerous tables, chairs, and sofas indoors. There are also several places to sit in the clubhouse’s own yard. The indoor area also includes a home theater with a big screen, and a connected computer, which you can use to watch movies and listen to music, among other things. The clubhouse also has toilet facilities.
Save the date! We hope to see you here.
