The beloved Dipoli’s Wappu needs many volunteers. Now is a great opportunity to get a one of the two needed work points for getting the party workers’ pink string! In addition to the work points, there are other amazing benefits for the volunteers, such as a bus ride from Otaniemi to Kaivopuisto on Wappu Day and an awesome overall patch!

Tour de Walpuri 2023 checkpoint application

 

The sign-up for hosting checkpoints in Tour de Walpuri opens today!

 

Sign up yourself and your friends to host a checkpoint from this link: https://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/walpurin-rastinpitajat/
