Activities

Have you made a new year's resolution about wanting to exercise more, but do you still find yourself struggling to get out of bed before 16:00? GEBALLMERPIEK is here to offer you a solution! Beerpong is the perfect sport for numerous reasons: 1) For starters, it's a team sport that helps you prepare for all your future DBL assignment groups: Only one person in the team is actually doing all the work, while the other(s) make you question why you even enrolled in the first place. However, even if you or your team mate is not a beerpong pro, the other one can easily carry you out of the groups phase to that spectacular finale. 2) Drinking beer! 3) None of you have the attention span to read any further so just sign up already. For this edition we ask you to fill in at most two weekdays on which you know you will never be able to play your matches, and we will try to arrange the groups in such a way that hopefully all matches can be played. You are expected to play all matches with the team mate you subscribe with before the end date of this activity, preferable at GEWIS. If you subscribe to this activity you must be available in the evening of the 24th of April, as this will be the date of the finale!

Do you want to elevate your studies? Go lifting! Are you trying to build some muscle? Have you tried lifting yet? Down bad? Lift your spirits! After corona, GELIFT is back again and this time we are going to Paris. We will host a hitchhiking competition where all you will have to do is stick out your thumb, we will provide the rest. We will leave on Saturday and will be back Sunday evening. On Saturday you will hitchhike from Eindhoven to Paris. Once you arrive there, a hostel will be provided for you. On Sunday you will have the entire day in Paris to go do as you please. At the end of the afternoon we will take the train back to Eindhoven. For the very low low price of 35 euros you will get: - the necessities for the hitchhiking competition; - an overnight stay in Paris; - transport back to Eindhoven. Before the actual weekend, we will provide you with a presentation on how to hitchhike safely. Here we will also provide more general information. Subscription information: Per duo only one individual should sign-up (both should be GEWIS members). There is a maximum capacity of 30 people. If within the first 24 hours more than 30 people sign up, we will hold a draw over the people who signed up within the first 24 hours. After this, it will be on a first come first serve basis.  To participate in this activity it will be mandatory to sign a contract stating it is your own responsibility to get to Paris safely.

EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND, A FEW PLACES LEFT! Because there were still some spots left for the Batavierenrace from GEWIS, this activity is opened. We will hold first come first serve for this subscription list. Dear (sportive) members, Are you also looking forward to better and sunnier weather in coming spring? What better way to start off spring by running the most fun relay race of them all, the Batavierenrace! In the weekend of the 28th till the 30th of April, we from GEWIS will once again travel to Nijmegen to run together a distance of 175km to Enschede, divided into 25 parts, running during the night, in the morning and in the afternoon. We will sleep in our own tents on the campus of Twente University and every time a new team will go to their starting point to take over the responsibility of the prior team to run GEWIS to the finish. Hopefully, you're looking forward to this relay race just as much as we do (or even more of course)! With sportive regards, GESPORT.

Once in a while, we all need to escape our tiny student rooms and make sure to get those muscles moving. To help you, we again have organized a weekend full of activities. Join us at a campsite near Dinant, in Belgium! Enjoy the free 'streaming' service (a.k.a. the river) by day and the (live!) campfire by night, of course with plenty of drinks and BBQ. To get some action, we will take you to some great activities in the neighborhood. In particular, on Saturday we will combine a climbing activity with canoeing. To accommodate for different levels of fitness/laziness/love for climbing, we offer two different climbing trails: easy (2,5h) and intermediate (3h), so please indicate your preference. Of course, this is an all-inclusive weekend! We will spend the night camping in tents, below you can indicate whether you have a tent and for how many people (including yourself). If you don't have a tent, don't worry, just contact one of the people who have indicated that they have a tent (we will not make tent groups). We may also create a WhatsApp group for everyone joining the weekend to ease communication. Soda, beers, and some coffee for those who cannot live without their daily rate will be taken care of, as well as plenty of Sako's pasta salad on Friday and a BBQ on Saturday. As it is a long walk to Dinant, we are also looking for cars so we can take everyone. Please indicate below whether you have a vehicle available and how many people you can take (including yourself). We are planning on taking 52 people with us for the weekend, so don't hesitate to subscribe before the list is full! In case the list is full before Monday, April 3rd at 12am, there will be a draw among those who subscribed. Otherwise it is first come first serve. To make sure we have enough cars, people who can arrange one will have priority if needed. Met takken!
