== [[Bonanza:Västervik 2022|Bonanza 2022]] ==

I hope you have made a date with the world's turfers in [[Kommun:Västervik|Västervik]] next year. This is where next year´s [[Bonanza]] will be held. [[Kalmar Turfförening|Kalmar Turf association]] is the organizer together with local Västervik [[turfare|turfers]]. Welcome to [[Kommun:Västervik|Västervik]] on May 21st! See you there :) More information will follow closer to the event.

== Scottish event 20/21 November ==

[[Turf Västerbotten|Turf Västerbotten]] is inviting everyone to a very special event during the first weekend of March in [[2022]]. Here is their invitation:

”Does it make sense to turf 24 hours in a row on your own or in a team with 3 participants where you take turns in two-hour sessions?

In [[2018]], [[Kalmar Turfförening]] was the first in [[Turf]] history with an individual class in addition to teams. Both of these events took place during the summer with dry asphalt, green grass and warm weather.

Now we turn up the heat for this event a bit and will run it during winter, in March so put winter tires on your bike, buy some warm long john's, extra strong bicycle lights and head north. For Umeå is taking back the baton and will run this 24 hour event in full, so sign up for either the bicycle class or walking/running class.

== First private Turf event in [[Kommun:Hamburg|Hamburg]] by [[Användare:JoasK|JoasK]] ==

”Small but nice, private and not yet public. But at least, a first beginning has been made. This Sunday (ed. 17th of October), a few German Turf enthusiasts were driven to [[Kommun:Hamburg|Hamburg]], where everything started at the end of last year. [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]] is still an absolute [[Turf]] diaspora. In [[Kommun:Hamburg|Hamburg]], [[Kommun:Lübeck|Lübeck]], [[Kommun:Berlin|Berlin]], [[Kommun:Cologne|Cologne]] and [[Kommun:Bonn|Bonn]] there are a handful of people who regularly go turfing, but so far not much is happening.

That's why it was even nicer that on Sunday 9 Turf maniacs actually met in [[Kommun:Hamburg|Hamburg]] for the first Turf event in Germany. The whole thing was organized by Morten, who is only 14 years old. For months he has been on fire for this wonderful game and currently he even leads the German ranking list.

Nobody really knew how such a Turf event worked. But after the countdown had expired, it was quite quickly clear what was going on. For one hour the 9 turfers chased through the event zones of Hamburg. The time flew by. Of course the Turfers from Hamburg had a little home advantage and so it was not surprising that the first six places were won by them. Afterwards the 9 turfers took a few zones together, so that they all won the [[Crowdy-8|Crowdy-8-Medal]]: Yeah! The afternoon ended with coffee and cake. A public event next year in Hamburg, was of course also considered.”

Let's hope the German turfers will multiply and a public event can be held in [[Kommun:Hamburg|Hamburg]], or some other nice German city, during 2022. There has been Turf events happening in Scotland too this last round and here's a little story about one of those:

== [[Användare:SeaTurtle|SeaTurtle’s]] event at Balerno ==

== Did you know... ==

...that [[Region:Scotland|Scotland]] has 1,8 zones per inhabitant, but only 0,1 zones per km2? The same numbers for [[Region:Stockholm|Stockholm]] is 2,4 zones per inhabitant and 0,9 zones per km2. And for [[Region:Greater London|London]] it is 0,3 zones per inhabitant and 1,8 zones per km2. [[Turf Crew]] considers every inhabitant a potential [[Turfare|turfer]] and hope one day it will be so :)

Turfa lugnt/Safe turfing!
