Dear Members, I hope you
can remember, some time ago
we decided we will phase out
our newsletter to be posted by
mail. In future, it will be
sent by Email. I know some
of you may not like this,
however, we are trying to keep
expenses down – postage for
one letter now costs a dollar.
We will still have some
newsletters printed which will
be available for collection at
the Club, thank you.

Stammtisch News
February is our time to go crazy with all the
Karneval lovers in Brisbane. On 6 February we
will be holding our fifth Stammtisch Karneval
at the German Club and we expect it will be
colourful and loud as always.
Stammtisch
We meet in the Club’s
Keller Bar every Tuesday
from 6.30pm.

brisbanestammtisch
The so-called ‘fifth season’ is celebrated before
Lent in all German regions with different
names. Adapting to the Brisbane culture all we
really want to give the Club members is some
silly season FUN! That means - costumes for
the keen ones, music and German Club
delicacies for everyone else and some great
entertainment from the resident muso Andrew.
Thanks to the German Club Committee,
German Consulate and Dart Club’s support,
and some generous raffle sponsors, this party
is non-profit and organised by the Stammtisch
Executive. There is some time and a lot of
love going into the event and it couldn’t be done
without the dancers, entertainers and MC’s. View our
photos from the night on Facebook: facebook.com/
groups/stammtischkarneval/
The Stammtisch also celebrated Christmas 2015 with a
full house exchanging quirky secret ‘trash Santa’ gifts
in December, called Schrottwichteln. I am grateful for
my secret Santa who gave me a Wuerth wall calendar
with some half-dressed men which, I must say, I enjoy
looking at daily above my PC. The end of year party
rang in the festive season where camping on Fraser,
and snowy German winter holidays gave people a time
-out. As of February we are back with our monthly
catch-ups in the Keller and we’re always keen to see
new faces.
