Speech group members, past members and affiliates gathered for some skiing (probably the last this season) in Stuhleck. We were more but it was impossible to get everyone in one photo - some skiers were simply too fast!

Speechers don’t do just math, code, experiments, papers and research proposals - they also skate, or at least try to skate! 1 hour on rented skate-rink was enough to test the endurance of pros as well as beginners. Of course, followed by “one” in Microbrewery Lisen ⛸️🍺
