Club activities and teamwork are important at Jidoka, especially with the increase in remote work and customer coders working at different sites. Our club activities are based on the interests of our employees, and as such, their types vary according to the current staff. Currently, the list of the most active and long-standing clubs includes, for example, the film club and the cycling club. As the newest additions, we have the firearms and motors club.
Cycling club
The cycling club was established in June 2020 during a move to a home office, and within its framework, we have been able to participate Kilometre race, which is held every year in the summer and winter. This year, 5 people participated in the cycling event, cycling almost 2200 kilometres together and saving 153 litres of petrol and 382 kilograms of carbon emissions! There are plans to participate in the race next year as well, aiming for even better results then.
Film club
Korona on rajoittanut vuonna 2016 perustetun elokuvakerhon toimintaa jo yli vuoden, mutta tämän vuoden heinäkuussa kerholaiset pääsivät taas nauttimaan leffateatterin antimista. Elokuvaksi valikoitui tuolloin Marvelin Black Widow ja tällä viikolla vuorossa on James Bondin uusin No Time To Die. Leffa-arvostelun löydätte Jidokan Instagram-tililtä leffan jälkeen 😉
Gunpowder club
This September, the Jidoka gunpowder weapons club began its activities. The club will initially offer enthusiasts a chance to try shooting, and will continue its activities if there is enough interest from members. At the end of September, members visited the Ruutisavu Tampere indoor shooting range to test pistols. Among those present were:
– .22 LR Ruger MK4 .22 pistol
– 9mm pistols e.g. Glock 17, Walther PPQ, CZ Shadow 2
– and revolvers: Smith & Wesson and Ruger .38spl, .357mag and .44mag
Next time, the intention is to try shooting with reserve rifles, and a decision will be made about further action after that.
Motorcycle club
The latest addition to the club activities is decidedly the Motor Club, which aims to meet for the first time at the end of October to go karting on the outdoor track at Pirkkala Motorspace Arena. The 700-metre illuminated outdoor track reaches speeds of up to 70 km/h, rain or shine, so the club's first meeting is not for the faint-hearted. You can find more information on our social media after the first meeting has been held and the racing is done.
