Lausanne HC vs Zurich Lions, Friday 21 October, 2016 at 19h45
Given how much our winners enjoyed Lausanne's match against HC Lugano last month, Lausanne Hockey Club is offering knowitall.ch readers the chance to win 4 more pairs of tickets for their next home match against ZSC Lions!
If you've never been to an ice hockey match before, this has to be one of the best ways to spend a great night out with friends, colleagues or family. Indeed, one of the winners of last month's double tickets, Melanie Dakin, told knowitall.ch, "I was lucky enough to recently win two tickets for an ice-hockey match at Malley, LHC v Lugano. What a treat! The atmosphere was dynamic, exciting and engaging. In fact it's difficult not to be caught up in the drama of it all. We had a great view of the ensuing spectacle, the goals, the die-hard fans encouraging their team from the Kop and the interaction of the crowd. We may not be familiar with all the game rules but the entertainment factor was high and we're looking forward to repeating the trip! Thank you to those people who made it happen!"
Whatever your reason for coming, make the Lausanne (ice) Hockey Club your new favourite team! Lausanne Hockey Club is the Vaud region’s premier sports and entertainment club. When the team plays at home, the Malley Ice Rink, which sells out for most games, literally vibrates with excitement, ambiance and fast paced hockey action!
Join Scott Poynton on his epic Movember journey, walking and talking for men’s health
This November, Scott Poynton, the founder of Nyon-based NGO, The Forest Trust, and Earthworm, is inviting the general public to accompany him on his Everest en Suisse challenge as he walks from Nyon to La Dôle and back again every Wednesday in a bid to raise funds for global charity, The Movember Foundation.
A sound mind in a healthy body is a well-known concept that Scott Poynton feels deeply committed to putting into practice. The Australian, who lives in Gingins, is set to repeat the challenge he successfully completed last year in an attempt to raise awareness for men’s health.
The walks, taking place throughout the month of November, will be led by Scott, and will have both a physical and emotional focus to them. "I am doing the Everest en Suisse challenge again this year to raise money and awareness for The Movember Foundation. Physical activity is so beneficial to our well-being and we all need to take time to walk and talk for our emotional health. La Dôle is the ideal place to do this challenge - when I reach the summit and look out over the magnificent snowy landscape, I see the lake below and reflect on my mobros and mosisters who have passed away. I am thrilled to be doing this in the name of a great cause.»

This autumn, Geneva will be hosting a giant exhibition dedicated to the world of dinosaurs. From Tyrannosaurus to Triceratops, 60 animated specimens will be coming to life at Palexpo. Displayed in actual size over a surface of 4500 sq. m, these impressive animals will move and growl to the delight of children. Dinosaur footprints will also be on show to the public, an exceptional vestige of the presence of these colossal animals in Switzerland some 150 million years ago. With the participation of the Jurassica Museum and the Geneva Museum of Natural History, the exhibition will run from 1st October 2016 to 8th January 2017. Tickets went on sale from 1st July 2016 and can be bought through the Ticketcorner network.
A giant exhibition
Dinosaurs will be in the spotlight at the end of the lake this autumn! The Halle 7 of Palexpo will be home to 60 life-size animated dinosaurs. These animatronics will be installed on a number of interactive stages in an exhibition covering a total of 4500 sq. m. Realistic technology will allow these giant animals to both move and growl. 35 different species will be on show to the public, including Triceratops, Brachiosaurus and the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex. The stages that accommodate these impressive specimens recall the environment in which they roamed millions of years ago. Visitors will thus be plunged into the vanished world of these huge dinosaurs.
