==Mulled Wine In Hamburg==
[[User:Marcus_P|Marcus_P]] from [[Municipality:Hamburg|Hamburg]] wants to invite everyone to come and have a mulled wine with him in [[Municipality:Hamburg|Hamburg]]. From his post in Turfgame (deutsch) on Facebook:
* "We wanna meet over mulled wine. We meet on 15.12.22 at 17:00 at the Turfzone [[Zone:Reeperbahn|Reeperbahn]] in [[Municipality:Hamburg|Hamburg]]. After that it's on to the St Pauli Christmas Market. I would be happy if many come over. Turf on,"
Let's hope many turfers will heed his call and meet up for some mulled wine :)
==Zone take from ambulance==
Turfer [[User:Kaktus-Mats|Kaktus-Mats]] from [[Municipality:Uppsala|Uppsala]] had a serious accident during a closed event to celebrate Team [[Municipality:Uppsala|Uppsala's]] three region wins during 2020-2022 on the 26th of November. Here is his own tale of the one positive aspect of the accident:
* "To celebrate [[Municipality:Uppsala|Uppsala's]] win in the [[Turf Ultimate Region Fight 2022|Turf Ultimate Region Fight]], an event was organized on November 26 in [[Municipality:Uppsala|Uppsala]] with a subsequent dinner. Everything went well during the event until three in the afternoon when I headed into the City Forest (Stadsskogen) in search of zones. The first one was blocked but the second one was available to take. On the way to the third, I met a cyclist and we passed each other on the wide path.
* Then I don't remember anything more until I was helped up from the path after a magnificent fall. There was an ambulance ride to the emergency room on the path through Stadsskogen and on the way the [[Zone:Tigerwoods|Tigerwoods]] zone was passed and apparently I had forgotten to turn off the Turf app because to my surprise I heard "taking zone - zone taken".
* In other words, I managed to take the zone from inside the ambulance. My strangest zone take ever. Thanks to the helmet, I survived with only a concussion, scrapes and bruises and was allowed to go home after a 24-hour observation at the hospital."
Remember to be careful out there and adjust speed and choice of track with regards to current weather conditions!
