On Thursday 27 June, sixteen men's team players wanted to take part in another exciting floorball training session with Beat Schäli.

As is well known, Schäli, the former GC floorball star, will be leaving the municipality in the summer to realise one of his dreams – hiking in England. Perhaps a visit to Scotland's smallest whisky distillery "Edradour" east of the village of Pitlochry is also on the cards. First, however, the men's gymnasts were once again instructed in good floorball. Once again, it was exciting to see the ease with which the expert Schäli introduced us "Gschtabi" to this elegant game for the 6th time. The M-Rieglers said goodbye to Beat with a big thank you. President Guido Pirovino presented the much-loved headmaster of the school with a gift of various Walchwil delicacies, including a green bottle with the unmistakable "Blopp".

In sunny weather, 24 bikers met on the town square to kick off the new season. The participants were split into two groups and enjoyed the perfect conditions and the evening atmosphere. The route led towards Oberwil via Schönegg or Fuchsloch, on towards Winterstein and then via Vorderbergstrasse or Herrenwald back to Walchwil, where everyone was catered for by Beatrice and Robin.
