Fasching ends on a Tuesday (in Feb ?), probably English Shrove Tuesday = Pancake
day, what Americans call fat Tuesday.
Munich don't go to the extent of Venice with masks.
Just lots of fancy dress at parties (fu for a few years, the a yawn).
I seem to recall street traders here do something in Viktualien- Markt that
morning, to also celebrate end of plague centuries back.
(Unless I'm getting events confused).
Sometimes some of us go to watch it, armed with plastic cups & bottles of Sekt.
- A Bad day to Ski - Drunken skiers!
Beginners Ski Trip
March
Club Anniversary Meal
St Patricks Day - The Munich Irish clubs (a dozen or so)
celebrate, & the GEA often participates too in some form.
4th: Usually some Americans in GEA circles, eg sometime Eleanor Ammermann arrange a Beer Garden around their Independence Day,
as it's been about 300 years, even us Brits are welcome ;-)
Kaltenberg / medieval festival
"Sports Day" / Englischer Garten
River (Isar) Float / barbeque - ( Hasn't happened
lately, as a listed event, but still happens among GEA circles unofficially sometime during the summer - (ask Jane C. at a Beergarden)
New Year's Eve - If we get a volunteer - ask the committee.
Occasional - Events we've done before, & may again,
given sufficient demand, but no longer to a regular schedule.
This section will expand when people mail me others they remember.
Tram Party: Caution, this is an expensive hire charge,
needs a lot of people
to buy tickets in advance, could expose the GEA to financial risk of a loss,
so the Committee would want to consider any potential organiser's plan carefully.
Sometime each summer there's a multi cultural fest along leopoldstr,
organised by the city. The GEA usually participates.
