Sauna and ice swimming
✨ On Friday of Vuju Week, it’s time to relax in the warmth og a traditonal Finnish sauna and ice swim! ✨ Amidst all the Vuju Week excitement, it's important to take a moment to unwind and recover from Thursday's sitz. That's why we're heading to Suolijärvi Sauna together on Friday to enjoy the warmth of the sauna and a refreshing dip in the ice-cold lake! 🧖♀️❄️ Expect a relaxed evening with great company – the perfect way to recharge before Saturday's annual ball! And even better, thanks to sponsorship from Loimu, the event will cost only 5€ per person! 💜 Biopsi has reserved two saunas for us: the large sauna, which accommodates approximately 15 people, and the new sauna, which accommodates approximately 12 people. The sauna sessions will start at slightly different times, so participants will be divided into two groups. The new sauna will be available from 18:35 to 19:35, and the large sauna from 18:45 to 19:45. During the overlapping period, both saunas will be available for everyone to use. Please note, however, that the next group of sauna-goers will arrive immediately after our booking ends, so everyone must leave the sauna when their allocated session finishes. 💜 Remember to bring your swimsuit, towel, footwear or socks, and something to drink! Swimming shoes designed for ice swimming are the best option when taking a dip in the freezing water. 🥶 There is no water tap near the sauna, but you can refill your water bottle at the Suolijärvi outdoor recreation centre, which also serves as our changing facility. It is located just over 100 metres from the sauna. The facilities include changing rooms, showers and toilets. Lockable compartments are available for valuables, and you can get a key for the lockable lockers in the changing rooms from the sauna attendant. There is also a gas grill at the sauna, so feel free to bring your own sausages to grill if you'd like! 🌭 Please note that the grill cannot be used when the temperature drops below –10°C. This is an alcohol-free event. Registration for the ice sauna event opens on Wednesday, November 4th, at 12 p.m.! As we have two sauna sessions available with limited space, you can choose your preferred time when registering. The groups will be assigned based on registrations and participants' preferred time slots.

Biopsi's 25th anniversary
You are warmly invited to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our student association at Hotel Ilves on Saturday, 14 November 2026. Please note that this invitation applies to Biopsi students from the 2nd year onwards. First-year bachelor students will help organize the anniversary celebration. Registration for the anniversary celebration will open on Tuesday, 6 October at 12:00 p.m., and close at midnight on Tuesday, 13 October. You will find the registration forms at the end of this message. When registering, you will be able to choose between two different ticket categories: 1) dinner invitation or 2) dinner invitation and post-party brunch (sillis). The dinner invitation costs 90 euros for Biopsi members (100 euros for others), and the sillis ticket costs 5 euros. The after-party ticket must be redeemed through a separate registration form due to the venue's capacity limitations. The after-party registration forms will be sent to the email on Tuesday, 6 October at 12:00 p.m. The after-party ticket costs 5 euros. The dinner invitation grants you access to the main celebration at Hotel Ilves. At Hotel Ilves, you will be served a three-course dinner accompanied by wines, coffee, and an after-dinner drink. You will find the menu attached to the invitation. After the main event, we will travel together by bus to the after-party, where the lively party band Krebatorio will entertain our guests. Drinks will be available at the after-party, and drink tickets can be used to purchase beverages. Late-night snacks will also be served. On Sunday, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the company of Biopsi members once more at the sillis. The dress code for the anniversary celebration is formal attire or a dark suit (tailcoat/suit), accompanied by academic decorations and insignia. You may also register a plus-one. Please remember to fill out a dinner invitation for your plus-one by completing the second section of the registration form. When processing registrations, we will prioritize plus-ones of the anniversary committee and board members before those of our general membership. For more information, please see the Rules and Practices section. Local businesses in Tampere are also assisting with the anniversary preparations! On the day of the main celebration, Glohair's Tammela location offers a 15% discount on formal hairstyles. In addition, the formalwear rental shop Kavaljeeri offers a 10% discount on rental suits and a 30% discount on suits available for purchase. Payment instructions and further details will be sent no later than the week of the anniversary celebration. We sincerely hope to see you celebrating Biopsi's 25th anniversary with us! Registration link to the anniversary celebration: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/HENsy7RM2G Rules and Practices Plus-ones: Unfortunatly, due to capacity limitations, we cannot guarantee that all plus-ones will be able to attend the celebration. Our priority is to ensure that our members, as well as the Biopsi board, committees, and alumni, are able to attend. Due to their responsibilities within the board and committees, these individuals are prioritized in the registration process before the general membership, and this also applies to the plus-ones they invite. Registration: Registration for the anniversary celebration is binding, and the payment is non-refundable if you are unable to attend. Resale: The resale of dinner invitations, after-party tickets, and sillis tickets is prohibited. All cancellations must be reported to the organizers. With warm regards, The Biopsi Anniversary Celebration Committee
