History

This is a collection of stories from the past years:

1993

Sampo Ruohomäki and Lauri Nousiainen had heard already during their high school years that the Helsinki University of Technology student body had various hobbyist clubs, and at the student information event they heard that if there wasn’t a club to their liking they could start their own. Immediately as they were accepted to HUT they formed a techno club:

“The beginning was puzzling, but about as soon as we had learnt how to use email, we asked secretary for clubs of the student body Ari Väisänen how a techno music club can be founded. He told us that the first thing to do is survey the number of interested people before actually forming the club. At this point the main aim was just the formation of the club, not that much planning for the future.”

“We informed about our intentions in news groups as well as on the notice boards of HUT. Around thirty interested people contacted us. We asked Ari Väisänen for more guidance and the result was to have a founding meeting. We reserved a room from Dipoli (at least in those days Dipoli’s spaces were free for TKY members.)”

The date of the meeting was 4.11.1993. A home stereo system was brought over, and relating music was played through the speakers. There were a handful of people at the meeting due to the email adverts as well as HUT notice board posters. The innovative poster called for the “HUT main auditorium to be changed to a giant subwoofer”. Tuomas Lähdeoja remembers the monumental meeting:

“The official club founding meeting was somewhat odd. People seemed to be slightly lost and uneasy. Väiski was sitting in the back of the room mumbling from beneath his beard, and one of the ‘acts’ was the ‘who are you and what are you doing here’ speech similar to that of first day in primary school.”

For the association to become ratified, another meeting was required. During that meeting the name of the association was agreed upon. There was no name above others, so a number of suggestions were drawn on a board. One of the participants had a physics book size of a brick with him, and suitable names were searched from the back index of the book. One such name was Entropy, which was then put forward for voting. Another example was ORAVA – Otaniemi Rave Association. Random pairs were formed from which the other one was voted out. Of those that made it through the first round, another round of votes were freely given to your preferred candidate. “Entropy” won.

1994

The first aim of the association was to bring people interested in techno together, not so much to organise parties. Unlike today, electronic music was both relatively unknown as well as not very accessible, so already connections to other technoheads were important. Entropy’s first event was a music listening evening, which was later named Boing Boom Tschak 1.

Lauri Nousiainen had stopped studying at HUT that year and moved to Helsinki to study. Sampo Ruohomäki’s grades were plummeting, and less time could be thus given to Entropy. Without a strong spokesman for the group the association almost died out. Bureaucratically the one necessary yearly meeting was held, although it was hard to find participants even for that. Early autumn Sampo Ruohomäki left for military service, but he had not delegated Entropy’s responsibilities to anyone, although a vice-chairman had been elected. During the academic year 1994 – 1995 nothing happened.

1996

Sampo Ruohomäki almost let Entropy die a quiet death, but Jani Patokallio who had recently become an enthusiastic techno party goer heard about this and contacted Entropy. Within no time there were opinions raised for not to let Entropy cease to exist. Jani took control of the association and begun to organise the Ambient Sauna -party along with 15 other members.

“One day in January a mixed crowd got together in Cantina. I didn’t know anybody, but neither did almost anyone else. We decided to form an email list and start thinking about a party. Everything started to fall in place and the chosen venue was Rantasauna, PA and DJs were the responsibility of Tim Ollikainen (who was a valuable asset in the beginning!), I did the flyer from the Lyapunov-pattern with Deluxe Paint on my Amiga, and printed it on a matrix printer, and so on. The party was held on 9.3.1996 and they were such a success that some money was even left over. As we had proven that a good techno party could be held in Otaniemi, our early pessimism began to fade and we were ready to expand our activities. On 27.3. I was unanimously voted as the new chairman of Entropy; at the same meeting we chose to adopt Sampo’s gearwheel e-logo as the symbol for Entropy. (My own suggestion of the smiley gearwheel did not gain support, better that way!) At the same time I became the dictator as Kenneth Falck replied to one of my emails :”Ja, mein Führer.””

26.4. was Part E, Entropy’s first Smökki party. In September there was F-Trap and a new concept, techno room Cubensis in Lakinlaskijaiset at Dipoli. 23.11. the legendary D-Base was organised, which later was voted as the best UG party of 1996.

1997

It was time for the wildest project up to that date; the fusion of techno and industrial in a spectacle called Oblast. The planning of the project and building of props had already began in the autumn. Endless amounts of weird flyers, posters, and web pages appraised the mythical Strobodan Teknosevic, the dictator of People’s Entropistic Republic, appeared in Otaniemi in January. We scared the ordinary students for a week in the hall of the main building wearing military clothing (“Are they communists?” “No, they are Nazis…”) and Strobodan’s birthday arrived on February 1st, 1997. The attendance was unfortunately limited compared to the expectations and the amount of work — about 200 people — but we had a good time and didn’t even lose any money in the end.

Activities continued. There were nearly monthly parties and in July 1997 we organized our first bus trip to Love Parade in Berlin with 46 people. Out first open air party, Smultron, was held on August 23rd. One month later we took over the main building’s men’s toilet with the Ambient Toilet event. Around the same time Entropy’s political wing People’s Entropistic Party successfully took part in the student union’s Representative Council election: the long-standing technical guru Panu Hiekkataipale was selected as a representative. Manipulation of media continued elsewhere — we started collaboration with OUBS and Radio Entropy’s first broadcast took place on November 11th, 1997.

A party named Ankh was held at TF in Otaniemi in late October. Sasu Kotamäki, who had been working at a couple of events, was a member of TF and organized the rental of the venue. Jani realized that Entropy was taking up too much time and energy and delegated the responsibility for organizing the party (to date our largest project) to Sasu. The budget had swollen unearthly large compared to our previous parties, but even so the party made a profit. Sasu was chosen as Entropy’s chairman on November 7th, 1997.

1998

17.3.1998 Jani Patokallio left for Japan, and there were hectic times ahead for Entropy: again our largest project to date, Technique. Sasu Kotamäki remembers how the party was organised in co-operation with Hytky:

“Technique was mentally an absurdly harsh ordeal. I learned a lot, I lost a lot, like many others; I and Hytky’s chairman Jari were chiefly responsible and took the event quite hard mentally. It is still a bit difficult to talk about Technique and I don’t really feel like talking about it. In reality nothing else really went awry other than that there were not nearly enough people. Okay, the budget did swell unfeasibly, the lights alone cost nearly 12 000 marks, but boy were they fancy (a small cautious smile :). There were a lot of parties back then and not enough people anywhere, most parties made a loss. How much did we lose? 14 000 marks.

After the summer there were again many events held, and these were again profitable. Many new members joined Entropy. The Entropy 5-years party was held on November 14th, 1998.

1999

Entropy was part of the burial ceremonies of the legendary Lepakko club with a party called Tuho (Destruction).

2000

In early 2000 Entropy started running a club in Helsinki for the first time. Club Elements started as a Wednesday club, but quickly turned into a full-fledged Saturday club. The venue, Arkku, was known for its repulsive furnishings, but in the hands of the entropians was transformed each time into a different, stunning fantasy world. On the main floor big-name foreign guest DJs played trance and house, but on the other floor the organization presented its own artists and more marginal music styles. Both floors were packed full: on the best nights there were more than a thousand guests.

The responsibility for organizing Elements was mainly on the shoulders of Entropy’s younger members, for whom club culture was a more natural thing than old-school underground parties.

“I wasn’t very actively involved anymore when Elements took place, but the risks of the club terrified me a little. Fortunately everything went well in the end,” recalls Jani Patokallio.

Occasionally there was friction between generations:

“The club caused a lot of resistance in some of the older members, who felt that with Elements Entropy took a step to the wrong, commercial direction,” Sasu Kotamäki explains.

Thanks to the success of the Elements, the organization could buy its own PA. On the other hand, the amount of work involved in running a continuous club night exhausted many members.

2001

The follower of Elements and so far the last club of Entropy was Club Cutting Edge which started in former Tiger in Yrjönkatu in October 2001. Parties were held on Sundays and the concept was lighter than the one with the debute club.

2002

As the year 2002 was coming to a close the organisation had almost hundred events behind it, and a little less than a thousand registered members.

“Our original goal, bringing together people interested in techno music, has been achieved”, says Sampo, obviously pleased.

“I think Entropy’s greatest achievement has been offering a non-commercial and a bit different option for the party people in the Helsinki area”, says Sasu.

An alternative mentality will continue in the future as for the next spring a party has been planned, which includes psy-trance at another stage and drum and bass at the other.

The organization is still run mostly by a group of a dozen or so active members. Sampo, Jani and Sasu all consider it important for Entropy’s future that there is a turnover of active members and that the core group can renew itself. The activities of the organization were developed to a more open direction during 2002 and new members were sought for instance from HUT’s freshmen events.

2003

Chairman Olli-Pekka Lehto together with Esa Ojansivu steered the planning of the 10th anniversary through the year. The huge project was made possible by the increased number of members — including supporting members Entropy had around 1250 members. The organization was officially registered and Entropy became Entropy ry (registered association) on September 25th, 2003.

The oldest functional party organization in Finland was celebrated on November 1st. E10V party’s headliner was Marusha, the legendary techno lady from Germany. The 2000 tickets were sold out in advance. In spite of meticulous planning the incomprehensible security checks by Jutom Security caused the lines to stretch out from the old VR Makasiinit all the way to Kiasma Museum. The other cause of worry were the strict volume limits mandated on the venue.

2004

The last episode for the legendary bun.ka party series was held in august. Since family student houses were being built next to Smökki, this was the last chance to bless the student village with banging techno all the way to 7 in the morning.

2005

Entropy and Hytky co-operated in bringing Berlin Bonbon party to life. Sweetn.Candy – (live) + Unrath & Krämpel (DJ set) were brought all the way from Berlin.

In October, the Kasvihuoneilmiö forest party was organised. Thanks to a big campfire, great atmosphere and a couple of army tents, even the most un-hardened hippy was able to manage throughout the entire night in the forest.

In December 2005 there was a sold-out jungle / drum’n’bass party Decompression at Casa Academica. Sweaty!

2006

When the legendary Tresor club from Berlin shut down the previous year, Entropy was asked to participate in the Tresor – It’s Not Over – tour. In February Entropy organised the year’s largest underground event. Entropy presents: Tresor. It’s Not Over included for example the following DJs: Surgeon, Todd Bodine and Leo Laker.

1st of April Entropy co-organised a party with Housenation club at Kaapelitehdas. The Entropy stage’s main acts were Midimiliz and Kox Box. Entropy also organised a club lounge and the agreement included the use of Entropy’s PA-system at the drum and bass arena. The party was an overall success, but the Entropy members were a little exhausted as the main organiser had to rely so much on their professionalism, knowledge and cheap labor. The organisation decided about the co-operation during the summer of 2005 after which the idea was left to be perfected for a couple of months before the idea for Midimiliz came up. Sadly of the original decision makers not many were actually present when the actual building for the party took place.

In July-August people enjoyed the hot summer in Karhusaari as there was a small forest party. The music in Karhusaari was mainly funkadelic psy: Suomisaundi.

As the summer drew to a close an open air DJ session was organised with Hytky at the Eternal Fire memorial in Helsinki.

In September Vuosaari forest shaked as the almost annual Kasvihuoneilmiö forest party took place. As in 2005, there was a warming up tent, and a bon fire. The decorations included a mushroom cultivation and weird clippers used to dry clothes. The lighting was especially good as a separate aggregate was used solely for this purpose. OUBS even made a highflying reportage of this party.

2007

The year 2007 started with a bang in February when three events were organised within a week: Valentine’s Day “Levyläjä” in Bar Beatroot on Iso-Roba, the traditional open air Sunnuntailaskut event in Alppipuisto, and Luolamies:2303 room at Gravitaatio, starring Milla Lehto.

2008

Year 2008 was Entropy’s fifteenth year which was celebrated under the topic “Techno Belongs To Everybody”. Entropy organized various events, from the Night of the Arts picnic by the sea to the forest party Kesäsiirtola and to Yönäytös (“Night Screening”) which was held in an old movie theatre in Tapiola. Celebration year’s climax was the E15V party in the beginning of November, which featured a domestic lineup with artists such as Mr Velcro Fastener, Jori Hulkkonen and Samuli Kemppi.

2009

Year 2009 was started by making a budget that raised the amount of money available for the activities of the organisation and equipment purchases. During that year a lot of new equipment was purchased. There were also a lot of events — in total 21 events. Only in July Entropy didn’t organise any events and that was because of a planned event in Cafe Aaltopelti was cancelled due to bad weather. During the year there were two big events, in which the number of guests exceeded 350, and a lot of smaller events with 100-200 attendees. We also brought three large foreign artists to Finland, the most famous was Black Sun Empire brought to Laskeuma (“Fallout”) and a big name for psytrance listeners, Kindzadza. Boxcutter performing in the 16th anniversary party completed the year’s list of foreign artists.

2010

Year 2010 started by drafting of the budget, the mapping of Entropy’s equipment and a large sound system acquisition planning. We decided to try and apply money from TTER for a new sound system, for which Ilkka Huhtakallio already had a plan ready, as well as new lighting equipment, which Mikko Törrönen and Tobias Malmström had a vision of. We also decided to apply for additional assistance from AYY for club room renovations and a new sofa. TTER did not accept our application for the sound system, so we had to eventually cut the budget considerably. However AYY did grant us money and the remodeling and renovation was carried out in late summer and the new sofa was bought in early winter.

Spring was marked by an exceptional series of club nights as Entropy organised three EH6 parties at the Kuudes linja club in Kallio in collaboration with HYTKY. The EH6 club nights were a moderate success: the first two nights brought in full houses but the last event suffered from a loss of guests as the venue had lost its extended licenses just prior to the club night and had to close already at 2 a.m. Some members complained about the club nights since because of them there was no larger own party during Spring.

Later in the year we organized a party with an experimental theme: jazz, techno and ambient, emphasizing “non-danceable” music. The concept was a success and mixing a live band, which was a new area for Entropy, caused no problems. The party, Entropy Kardemumman yössä, had around 200 visitors.

All in all, during the year we brought to Finland four guests DJs from abroad: Deepmix favorite Pushkarev, Coyu, Bodycode, and Jeff Milligan who operated three vinyl players.

2011

Year 2011 started actively for Entropy, planning for Laskiainen (Shrovetide) and circus party. Some new people had joined us as well, and there was enough enthusiasm to organize an event for 600 people to the center of Helsinki. Eventually Circus Entropia event made the active members so tired, that the next bigger event wasn't until next autumn (excluding the summer festival). In general you can say that the average quality and size of the events organized by Entropy had increased during the years, and when you combined the forces of the old active members group with the recently joined people it made it possible to organize bigger events and experinces. There was anyway more experienced and old members than new people who had just recently joined as active members, so there was need for recruiting more new people. There was an initiative to find a new place for organizing events for the autumn, but at that moment no suitable places was eventually found.
 
Entropy applied for grant from TTER fund for renewing their technics. The applied sum was 10 000 euroa, but even though the application was prepared carefully, once again no grant was admitted. The decision was made to apply for the same grant next year again as there was a big need for renewing the technics.
 
At the end of the year the activities tailed off into random hang out evenings in the club room, and some of the active members started to plan the next year's Entropy 20 years party.
 

2012

The beginning of 2012 for Entropy started traditionally sliding the slopes and partying in underground vibes. Juuri party, which was organized in Aate Media in the beginning of the spring, was a success regardless of the setbacks on the way. Verso party, which was organized later in the spring, didn't meet the target for the amount of visitors, but the vibe was even better than that. In Vappu Entropy organized the traditional party in Ullanlinnanmäki, which collected a good group of people to join. After the open airs during the summer, Entropy started to plan a playful Tarha party with a full force, which ended up going well. At the end of the year a "party school" Masuuni party was organized by trying a new party concept, which lured new enthusiastic people to join. We have to admit, during the year 2012 we received an exceptionally big amount of active member applications.
 

2013

The year 2013 was Entropy's 20th anniversary and it turned out to be one of the most active years in the Entropy's history. The year was packed with a lot of expectations, especially considering the 20th anniversary party in the autumn. In addition to organizing twelve bigger and smaller events, Entropy was also exceptionally active in other cultural activities as well.
 
A lot of concrete work was started for getting a new sound system when a positive grant decision was given from Teekkaritoiminnan Edistysrahasto to support Entropy's sound system project. The traditional DJ course was decided to organize as a bit better package as normally, and the experienced Finnish DJ's Indigo, Orkidea, Orion and Proteus promised to implement it. Because of the busy times during the end of the year the course was decided to postpone until spring 2014. 
 
Entropy organized a tour in the spring to visit its sister organizations in Lappeenranta, Turku and Tampere. The point was to get to know with the members of these organizations and also to the local scene. As a whole, the tour was successful, and the finances didn't go neither to minus.
 
Other events from that year were the traditional Sunnuntailaskut in Alppipuisto, Suo organized in Casa Academica, Kesäsiirtola (which was organized already for the 7th time in cooperation with Hytky) and A-Juna Turkuun which was organized in the beginning of the autumn. At the end of the year the organization woke up again almost a decade old Bunka concept in the Christmas mid days.
 
The activities of the year also included the traditional Vappu events in Otaniemi and Ullanlinnanmäki, fuksi events from the beginning of the year in Otasuunnistus and Lakinlaskijaiset.
 

2014

Year 2014 began in the aftermath of the anniversary year. Many people thought that there were so many events during the last year, that the amount of party organizing was going to be smaller for the year 2014. After couple of months break from organizing events the year started to have more events as normally and ended up being a year full of events. There were regular events including parties, training events and building up the sound system. The emphasis during the year was organizing smaller events more often.
 
In the beginning of the year Entropy organized DJ course (that got rescheduled from the previous year) with a bigger sccale. The course was held by well-known Finnish DJs Indigo, Orion, Orkidea and Proteus. The event was really successful and gathered a lot of people.
The sound system build up project - that didn't finish the previous year - was started properly in the spring. There was a lot of things to do and the speakers were buing build in Design Factory during several nights until very late. The speakers were finished at the end of the year and the only thing left for next year was to finetune them and try them out.
 
The event organizing was pretty much concentrated in the capital area, and no touring was done this year. Events were organized actively by taking advantage of new spots. House music parties called Kiehumispiste and Yökylä were oganized during the spring. In the summer Entropy organized an open air party in Konttiaukio, Kesäsiirtola for the 8th time and at the end of summer Elonkorjuu. In the autumn Paviljonki event was held and in December Bunka - that was brought back to life the previous year.
 

2015

The year 2015 started with the goals in mind of recruiting new members and organizing big parties. When the year was moving forward, a decision was made that the party planned for the autumn was going to be organized the upcoming year in order to have more energy for recruitment of new members. A closed facebook group was created for this cause called "Entropyskene 2015", and the point for this group was to have a low threshold way to become an Entropy member.
 
Entropy organized a producer course in Design Factory in the beginning of the year. The lecturers were well-know Finnish producers Dullatron & Stene, Samuli Kemmpi, Jori Hulkkonen and Tommi Koskinen. The event was very successful. 
 
Smaller events organized during the spring were Burner Mixer, Yks hyvä tähän väliin and Vaalivoitto.
The new sound system was finished during the spring. The baptism of the sound system was held in Kesäsiirtola and at the same event some most active members in the project were being rewarded.
 
The events during the autumn were located mostly in Otaniemi for supporting the recruitment of new members. We also traditionally joined Otasuunnistus for two days. We were also first time joining Aalto Party. Later in the autumn we organized shadow party for Lakinlaskijaiset called Lakittomat Paskijaiset. In December we held Bunka themed party. Clubroom hangouts were held every second Wednesday.
 

2016

Year 2016 started by planning a bigger techno event and an excursion to abroad. The first of these took place in the form of Eetteri party, and the event attracted a lot of visitorts and was overall a success. The excursion was organized to Denmark to Borderland festival, where Entropy implemented a music stage to a beach, where the ground was challenging but the view breathtaking. In the summer the emphasis was anyway in the festivals, so the traditional joint event from Entropy and HYTKY was organized for the 10th time, and the investment for the event was similar as in the anniversary year.
 
Cooperation was also done with Cosmos Festival - which was organized in July - where Entropy joined with a collective of players. Also at the end of the summer a cooperation project for the cruise called 25 Years of Dance (which celebrated DJ Orkideas 25 years long career) was started when Entropy was invited to organize an Open decks stage for the event going to be organized in January 2017.
 
During the year also several smaller events were organized, like traditional Sunnuntailaskut in February, Ullis party in Vappu, Kekri outdoor event in September and several other events related to the student activites in Otaniemi.
 
In the clubroom spontaneous evenings and more planned clubroom nights were organized. Couple worth mentioning  were Ihmemarja clubroom night in March that was focused on special flavours and Sould food club room night in November. The search for a replacing clubroom space was postponed later as the construction work for Jämeräntaival 3 A was going to start eventually in 2018. More active recruitment of new members was continued by creating a Telegram group for the people interested in Entropy.
 
At the end of the year a decision was made to take a stricted line in regard to prohibitions on intoxicants and for violations of these rules a ban for entry would be given in the future. As a general policy for the future, the aim would be creating positive energy and rewarding activity.
 

2017

After an eventful year 2016, the year 2017 was a bit more calm. The course of the year could have been described as "back to the basics". The activites from the year were concentrated on maintaining the technics and membership, without forgetting parties and recruitment of new members.
The biggest event of the year was an experimental "free zone" Otaniemi Freespace, where Entropy was organizing several parties and trainings.
The technics were also updated and the deco storage was organized. We also finally managed to create backups of our digital systems.
Worth to mention also, the amount of new active members (7) was the biggest in many years!
 

2019

The year 2018 finished up with Entropy 25 years party, so the year 2019 started with a bit tired atmosphere. This could be seen specially in the amount of active people in the organization. One thing that made it a bit difficult was the club room, that was in renovation and it could not be used at all during the year 2019. It was difficult also the recruit new members as there was no clubroom, where to organize newbies night or anything else. However, during the year an important reform related to the rules and a new member register was created (following the GDPR requirements). Event producing concentrated on two bigger events and several other smaller and open air parties.
 
The board changed throughout the year several times. The vice-chair resigned in March and in the summer also the chair. New chair and vice-chair were nominated in September. The treasurer also changed at the same time. Overall the year was challenging for the board members. A lot of things were planned at the beginning of the year, but not much things got done. The communication between the board and the members was non-existent and the board also got feedback about this. New rules were also prepared during the fall.
 

2020

The year 2020 started with a fast pace as Entropy participated a party called Case Closed in Nosturi, and the spectacular production - that was implemented with a really fast schedule - was apt to raise spirits for the coming year. The clubroom was finished from the renovation at the end of January, but soon it was noticed that one of the walls had mold on it. The Entropy people who were already frustrated by the delayed renovation schedule did not stay waiting for the reaction from AYY but instead started building a new wall themselves.
 
In February, the association's annual meeting approved the organization's new rules with conditions for the first time, but the second approval was postponed to the fall due to covid. Generally, specially during March the covid number all the activites and it also caused the cancellation of the Aktiiviloma from the summer.
 
At the end of spring, a shirt order for the active members was organized.
 
In the beginning of the summer when the covid situation eased up a bit, the active members started to plan some kind of open air. In the end the events were organized in two weekends next to each other, first in the Viikki bunkers called Deformaatio (event concenrating on techno and drum'n'bass) and the second one called Entroforest in the central park of Espoo (concentrating on psy-trance and hypnotic techno). Duirng the summer the building of the new wall also finished and it was the first time that the playing equipment were brought back to the club room since the start of the renovation.
 
At the beginning of the autumn the covid situation went a bit worse, but despite that we were able to organize small playings outside - for example as a part of the Vappu simulator. To everyone's surprise, even the smaller events outside brought a lot of new people interested in the organization.
Regarding the club room, we got some bad news again. After a closer examination, more mold was found undert the window sill and the ceiling board outside on the wall. Luckily it was enough to paint the outer wall, partly the ceiling and partially replacing the ceiling planking. After hits we finally got to decorate and develop the club room.
 
During the fall and beginning of the winter the covid situation got worse again, so no new events were planned. Despite of this a lot of new things were built in the club room and the amount of new members kept rising as clubroom hanging nights were organized frequently. In the December election meeting new board was chosen for the year 2021 and at the same time the organization's new rules were approved in the second handling.
 

2021

The year was started with an economy devastated by the covid pandemic and with low expectations regarding the possibilities of organizing events. Small gatherings were held during the spring withing the covid regulations. When the summer started and the covid regulations eased up we finally were able to start organizing smaller events. During the year mostly small and mid size events were organized as the economic situation was uncertain and the covid restrictions for inside spaces were still applied. The activity among the members was still maintained and the summer events arose interest in our activities. Entropy participated in Otasuunnistus and the orientation week by organizing several open air gatherings and the traditional tunnel party. With this, several new faces got involved in the organization this year as well. 
 
New working practices were tried and taken into usage. We implemented a versatile Syssy system on our website, which allows e.g. creating events, renting equipment and recruiting volunteers. We made up for the small number of events with a radio program, and to that it was organized the possibility to stream straight there from the clubroom. We also came up with the Entropy's own safer space principles and trained two harassment contact persons to guarantee equal and safe treatment for everyone in our future events as well.
