Stammtisch in Germany
 

At the Frankfurt Stammtisch on the last weekend of September, we decided to have the Stammtisch again. We decided to circle the Stammtisch through Germany, so that the Frank-furt based people could also collect some miles flying to this event :)

Therefore I have the honor to announce the next Stammtisch on the weekend 12th to 13th February 2005 in Cologne, as we meet in Düsseldorf in the past at Bernies fabulous Do(s)

I fixed this date, the weekend after the Carnvial Weekend in the Rheinland, as in this time no trade fares in Düsseldorf or Cologne take place.

Here is the schedule

11th February 2005

For those of you, who will arrive on Friday, I thought about to meet at Happy Hour in the Ice Bar at the Cologne Hilton. Later we can change to a Restaurant like e.g. Delfter Haus or Brauhaus Maierhofer.


12th February 2005

I do not plan anything in the morning and early afternoon, as there are several places to visit in Cologne (e.g. cathedral, Römisch-Germanisches-Museum, Museum Ludwig, Schokoladenmuseum) or just do some shopping. If you wish, I could try to organize something like a guided tour, but this could be expensive, if only a small number of FT’s will join this tour.

In the late afternoon / early evening there is the main event at Brauhaus Peters in the Altstadt of Cologne (no credit cards accepted there). It is also possible to meet before for some drinks (possible again Hilton Ice Bar or Hard Rock Café or … ?).

What we do after we were in Brauhaus Peters, depends on the number of glasses of Kölsch we have :)


13th February 2005

On Sunday, I have not planned anything yet, possible would be a brunch or just sit in a café.

For moere information have a look at this page

The places are not confirmed yet and depending of the number of Flyertalkers coming to this event, I will need to change some places. Therefore I ask you to send me a PM and post in this thread if you are able to come to Cologne.

For further question, you can send me a PM

Bravo to this initiative! ^

On the FRA Stammtisch we had good fun; 10 flyertalkers found their way to the pub in Sachsenhausen and 6 attended tea-time at the Frankfurter Hof the next day.

So there is hope that this circle of 'people-in-the-know' will grow and we could have a quarterly Stammtisch from now on.

Rumors say that the following event is also already thought of and could be in MUC in late spring... ^

Boy, I hardly ever check the "do" page, and lo and behold there might be a neeting in my own back yard (MUC)!

I'd like to seek all the folks I've been lurking on ;)

Maybe I could even make it up to NRW...

Tschüß!

Spring break in Munich... somewhere in march.... I am all up for that.

As PMed to FLYGVA, the February weekend is fine with me and I have found really cheap and convenient flights to CGN with Germanwings (€50 incl.). Plus, I've never been to Cologne before. So yes, I have a preference... ;)

I will book as soon as the venue is set.

Me too. ^

it is COLOGNE
 

Okay, the third Stammtisch will probably take place in Munich (?), but first there is the Stammtisch in February, which will take place in Cologne



Here is the schedule for the Stammtisch on the weekend 12th to 13th February 2005.

I will be on vacation in the next ten days, so it may be possible that I am a little bit late in replying to questions.

To all Starwood Junkies :D

The Four Points is available, but you have to book them direct (Tel. + 49 (0)221 16510). A Single is EUR 77,00 / night including breakfast. It could be canceled.

I've just checked the SPG website and all of a sudden, the €77 rate is available there.

C'mon folks, this sounds like fun, so hop on!

I just booked a room for one night feb 12/13 and therefore would like to confirm now to this event.

Any other new attendees?

A month to go
 

Hi,

just a month to go and I like to remember, that there will bet he next German Stammtisch in Cologne.

I have put some information together on my homepage . The availability of hotel rooms is okay.

Just have a look in your Palm, Filofax, etc. and come to Cologne, a city worth a visit in any case.

Please send me a PM or post in this thread if you can come to Cologne, because I have to look, which restaurant etc. to choose.

Jan

Everything sounds very good! Unfortunately I am in ATH that weekend...
Hope to join the Stammtisch next time.
