Lab outing

The laboratory went on a lab outing playing Hornussen, a traditional sport that is played in the Swiss countryside. 

by Andrea Testa

In today's setup, the "batsman" hits the puck, or "Nouss", with an elastic stick from the starting block towards the opponents' field. There, the members of the defending team try to intercept the Nouss as early as possible before it hits the ground. To do this they use "Schindel", shovel-like boards held high or thrown into the air to meet the Nouss.

Below are some pictures of the event.
