I        Common things to remember

 

1.     Get your PT’s membership

 

If you didn’t pay the membership fee for Prosessiteekkarit, you can fill the membership application here. The payment information will be sent to your email address.

 

2.     PT’s weekly newsletter for members

You can join the PT mailing list at https://list.ayy.fi/mailman/listinfo/pt-info. This mailing list is used to inform members about upcoming events and other current affairs. A weekly bulletin is sent to the list every Monday, and by reading it actively you will be aware of the current student activities of the association and the rest of Otaniemi.

 

3.     PT’s Telegram-group and information channel

Do you want to follow and participate in discussions regarding all PT members? Do you want to hear the ideas and thoughts of students from other classes as well? To do this, there is #PT, a common Telegram group to all PT members.

You can join the General Discussion Group #PT on Telegram from this link. The group is for both formal information and informal discussion. Please read the group rules when you join the chat.

In addition, PT has its own one-way information channel on Telegram, which works with the same principle as Captains’ Inform. It’s used for informing about events and condensing the weekly newsletter for all members. You can follow the information channel here.

4.     PT x TiK x SIK Regular Sport Sessions

Pack your indoor shoes and head to the ball sports hall of Otahalli every thursday at 21-22! There you will be able to play ball games with TiK, SIK, and other PT members. The sport will change every week.

5.     Associations PauseTime on Wednesdays

 

Looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life? Take a well-deserved break and come to the pHuone to participate in Association’s PauseTime! 🥰☕️

 

Common PauseTimes will be organized weekly, this week on thursday from 16:15 onwards. Any exceptions will be announced. From 16:15 to 18:00, there will always be someone from the board so you can for example easily buy overall patches or get points for your point card during that time. Depending on the wishes of the people present, the break can be spent by playing games, having chit chat with a nice cup of coffee/tee on the side or even watching a film. Come to meet old and new PT-friends and make yourself at home in the association's living room!

 

You can get a Fuksi Point from participating in three PauseTimes!

II       Events arranged by PT and CHEM

 

1.     English Bachelors’ Sitz

 

Jolly good show!

 

Put on your fines liveries and prep your prim and posh manners for the wildest tea party of your life as the Eng B.Sc Sitz take over Smökki in style on the 22nd of October!

 

Put aside your jealousy of the lifestyle of British Royalty (RIP The Queen) and join the other English Bachelor Guild fuksis for late afternoon tea with a twist. The evening will begin with a cocktail party at 17.30 and the sitz themselves will start with the ring of the gong at 18:30. No dilly-dallying, there are three delicious courses and delightful guests from all five bilingual guilds waiting for you with plenty of tea to spill!

 

The sign-up to the event will open on Friday the 7th of February at 12.00 o’clock. The link to the sign-up can be found here: https://ilmo.as.fi/

 

 

  1. CanCan

It’s time for ascendance and for the age-old traditions to be inhereted by the new generation of fuksis. CanCan must now pass from the hands of last year’s fuksis to you! Follow the Captain’s Channel actively, as more infor about CanCan and getting involved will come during the following week!

 

If CanCan really interests you kiinnostaa, you can also apply to be the CanCan-responsible! These responsibles coordinate their year’s CanCan dance troupe throughout their fuksi year. This includes booking gigs, contacting customers and other practicalities, such as arranging practice times for the gigs and events. It’s an incredibly fun, engaging and rewarding job (you can ask last year’s responsibles! @mellunkyla, @oonakuoppa, @helmihanninen), and you get to affect what your year’s CanCan looks like.  The previous responsibles help, guide and train you in the position.

If being a CanCan-responsible sounds like something you would be interested in, send a short, free-form application to Anna (@annanteeksi) on Telegram by Monday the 3rd.

 

  1. Fuksi Patch and -yearbook information lecture 5.10.

 

PT has a very cheery and diverse fuksis! But now, when the Teekkaricap has been lowered and you might be getting your overalls sometime during this centrury (you might, i dunno), how on earth will you differentiate yourselves from your ISOs, not to mention older members of PT? And if only there was some way to remind yourself when you’re wondering: “Who did I spend my fuksi-year with?”.

 

To answer those questions, you’re gonna make your very own Fuksi Patch and the Fuksi yearbook of 2022! The patch will be designed, ordered and sewn on by you, and with it you’ll be able to be distinguished as a 2022 PT fuksi! The yearbook on the other hand is usually a lot more than a book, the only thing we care about is if it has every single one of you in it! Both the patch and the yearbook can be whatever your creative minds come up with!

 

On Wednesday 5.10. there will be an information lecture regarding the planning, schedule and other important aspects to take into consideration while constructing the historical monuments. There will be chances to gain fuksipoints, so be there! Further information about the location of the event will be posted in Captains’ Inform later, so remember to check it!

 

  1. Neon Rave,  21st of October

 

The Chemisry Guild’s traditional Neon Rave is having its tenth anniversary and we are proudly presenting the biggest student rave event of the decade! On 21st of October Smökki will be set on fire by the words of Keanu Reeves as the legendary Neon Rave is upon us once again: Wake the f*#& up student, we have a Smökki to rave!

 

Multiple artists of electronic cyber mayhem and the futuristic lightshow will make sure that this will be a night to remember for years to come. Bring your friends, it is time to RAVE!

 

The tickets will be on sale via kideapp on 7.10 12:00: https://kide.app/events/cebcb494-7ffb-45de-acf0-5c6c26fc431c . The price of the ticket with the overall patch is 10€ and 8€ without the patch

 

PLEASE NOTE that the event is K-18!

 

If you have any questions regarding the event, feel free to ask our communications responsible @AnetteHonkanen via Telegram.

 

WARNING: If you have any epilepsy symptoms, we highly recommend to consider carefully before buying a ticket to the event. There will be a lot of flashing lights.

 

  1. Process Optimization 25.10.

 

The Process of 2022 was launched with potential and on schedule. During the fall, we have monitored the progress of it and found the source material excellent. However, in order to achieve the best result and to maintain the steady state of the process, fine parameter adjustment is required. It's time to optimize the process!

 

Welcome to The Process Optimization 2022 on Tuesday the 25th of October! The optimization will be performed during the evening in the gloom of Otaniemi, so keep your schedule free from 16:30 onwards and remember to pack some warm clothes fit for the cold Finnish weather and some cheery Prosessiteekkari -spirit!

 

This is a significant step on your journey of becoming a Prosessiteekkari, you don't want to miss this!

  1. Otaniemi Escape, 7th of October

Unleash your inner detective and join Otaniemi Escape! The event is an escape room adventure around Otaniemi, where new students get to work in groups to solve puzzles and riddles. As the evening progresses, the mystery begins to unravel one clue at a time, until all the pieces fall into place and the brave team of detectives escape Otaniemi for their onward journey to location X. The adventure will take place in groups of about 10 people, divided by the organiser. When registering through Kide.app, you may wish to have two friends in your own group.

The event is organised in cooperation with the Fuksi Committee as part of the Teekkarius 150 anniversary year and is primarily aimed at first-year students. The event will start at 17:00, and the after party will end at 01:00. The after party will take place outside Otaniemi at location X, and there will be a bus in both directions. The journey takes about half an hour. In keeping with the spirit of the event, the location of the continuation will remain a mystery. However, it should be mentioned that you will need to bring a swimsuit and a towel for the onward journey.

Tickets are for sale on Kide.app. The price for the tickets are 18€, and they contain the adventure, afterparty with transportations and an overall patch.

V      Greetings

 

Anna: Phew, onwards to new challenges! You did an amazing job with the Grand Prix, you’re all winners in our eyes <3 As I always say, “Why go over where the bar is lowest when you could go where there is no bar at all!” This week brings with it some of my favorite activities: overall patches and solving mysteries, I’m sure you’ll have a blast!! Tune into the vibes along with this song!

 

 

Eetu: Last week went by very pleasantly: the participants of CHEM-appro seemed to be having a good time, and on Friday it was time to lower our teekkari caps, but not before the amazingly fast Otatarha Grand Prix performance of PT-Fuksis! This year we were disqualified over a minor technicality (Apparently breaking the rules wasn’t playing by the rules, who would’ve guessed), but next year will be our year! And to top this week off, my list of deadlines has only gotten shorter, so that's all good! Time for a new week with new adventures!
