Until *A Flyer announces the programme we won't know for certain but if the pattern of Franconian Dos where the idea of this Do was hatched in 2015 is followed, there will be 'welcome drinks' on Friday evening followed by a dinner.

A number of FTers are coming from the US and many of them arrive on Thursday or Friday morning (most TATL flights are overnight flights) for similar Dos I have attended in Germany. Some people are combining the Do with a visit to Oktoberfest which ends on October 3, so they are likely to arrive early.

Although I haven't booked flights or a hotel, I plan to arrive on Friday afternoon. Even if there is no official event I'm sure there will be enough people around for a drink or three on Friday evening.
