GEA Programme No. 318 - July 2008 ================================= Review: The Andechs Pilgrimage by Sue Bollans On June 8th we converged on Andechs from various directions in the traditional style, reviving an excursion "patented" in 1979. Although the weather forecast was consistently lousy and the cycle ride was cancelled, the sun shone all day, encouraging a larger group to walk up from Herrsching, and a lot of "old" faces were to be seen. GEA Summer Disco on Friday 25th July DJ Chris invites you to the 'Rechtaler Hof' The theme of the disco will be "Music of the 70's, 80's and 90's". Requests from a list of the music available can be made on the night for 50 cts per request. There will also be two competitions with a small prize to win. The entrance is free before 9:30pm and ¤ 2.00 after 9.30 pm.
