Weekly Digest 1/2024

Hello, and happy new year!

I hope the holidays have been relaxing and you are ready for an eventful spring. I wish you a very warm welcome into this cold January and hope you’ll be following the guild’s activities throughout the spring. I am now ready to fill the boots of my predecessor Moby with these weekly digests and will follow in their footsteps in the deep snow.

In the near future, weekly digests will be published every two weeks, as usual, and you will hear from me again on January 23rd. Until then, enjoy the upcoming events and the slightly warmer weather than last week.
