Title: Oktoberfest 2010
Post by: ulsterwalker on September 28, 2010
Hey all, been ages since I been here, but I've exhausted my google skills and havent came up with anything that is consistant.

Any one heard anything about Oktoberfest this year? Is it happening/location/prices/will there be stripping heidi's/etc?

Cheers in advance!

Keith

Seems to be a bit of confusion as to the dates indeed:

After a few steins of beer last year I managed to get lost in town looking for my lift home. I think that stuff's what the Germans use to power their space program.

Good to hear from you again Keith!  If you fancy a couple of steins you should pop along to the Christmas meet up (http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1387).  I'm definitely planning on popping in to the Christmas Market at some stage to grab a currywurst :)

Well you can't say no to a couple steins can you?

Will have to see what shifts I end up getting round then, but there's a possibility I might show my ugly mug!

Currently on the way down the mourne on an impromptu walk about, hopefully. The weather forecast hasnt got it wrong!!
