Hi everyone,
we have a clear winner:
23 April 2025, 7:00 pm
As usual, at the old tram depot.

I’ll reserve a table for 11 tomorrow (= considering input including Hany at the Nuudel link).
If you want me to book a seat but you haven’t raised your finger yet, please do so by tomorrow noon.

Cheers,
J.

Hi everyone,

as mentioned previously, I’ve reserved a table for 11 for next Wednesday.
I look forward to meeting known and new faces!

What topics would you like to discuss?
With close to a dozen people, we can probably cover 2-3 topics.

See you next week!

Hi everyone,
last reminder: Our next Mustachian meeting takes place in the Tramdepot in Bern, tomorrow at 7:00 pm.
As they now charge tables of 10 or more to one single person, please be prepared to give me your mobile number with a means of payment attached (TWINT, Revolut). Or good old, cold hard cash.

See you tomorrow!
J.

Shouldn’t it be the other way around? :laughing:

Hi everyone,

it’s about time or our next meeting in Bern!

You know the drill:
Please let me know your availability in this Nuudel poll, and I’ll make sure we find the best date and time.
Pay attention to the personal link that you’ll see once you’ve hit “save”.
You need to save it in case you want to change your vote.

@Regina will join us this time. She’s a journalist and interested in the people who pursue FIRE in Switzerland. If you’ve FIRED already and would like to share your FIRE story, please reach out to Regina, e. g. via message in this forum.

Kind Regards,
Johnny B.

Tuesday, 22nd of July, 6:00 pm

Remember, there’s no reservation to keep it simple.
When push comes to shove (too many people), we’ll have to split up.

Well. that was intense. It seems like they want poor nick to refund the cost of his studies.

I wonder what they make of women who study and then stop work to look after kids…

REMINDER: Bern meetup 23 Feb 2026, 7:00 pm in the old tram depot
Hi everyone,
don’t forget our next meetup in Bern in exactly one week!
I’ve reserved a table for 10 (maximum possible for that date), but we have three additional people who’d like to join.

Let’s first make sure that everyone who’s on the “A” list will really join us:
Jovi, Matthias, Alex, Anna, Chagai, Katharina, manjuu, Luna and Anastasia: You’re “set”. Please let me know if you cannot join so that your seat can go to someone else.
(For those counting, the 10th person is obviously yours truly, Johnny…)

There are currently three people on the waiting list: @BslD, @brice Ronni
As I cannot make the table bigger, there are two options:

  1. You just test your luck and try to find another table without reservation. Not impossible for 3 people but also a little risky.
  2. Someone tries their luck with the reservation of another table for, let’s say, 4 people. Then we may get lucky and can distribute the participants across two tables.

I am Roni (The third guy on the waiting list), I am a friend of Chagai, he already told me a little bit about the FIRE Community and movement.
Hopefully I can attend the next meeting on the 23. February, i’ll try my luck without a reservation.
Looking forward to meeting everybody.
