    i went on a hen weekend. fekking ace. we went for the weekend but only did one full day at the fest.

    What a brilliant brilliant day... and i drank shandies all day (still strong) and was still refused entry at a nightclub about midnight.

    What a laugh.

    Went a few years ago ... totally brilliant time.

    The tents are enormous, more like big buildings, beer is in large steins, food pretty good but you don't care after a while, and the oompahh bands in some of the tents are a good laugh.

    Do not miss it!

    Not just blokes no. Tho there werent large groups of females. I do remember us pink ladies standing out in the crowd. and being groped by the very drunk italians. nasty.

    Those german women that serve the beer up can also act as bouncers. i think adam has a photo.

    Got to make sure that a mate stays home and acts as a pretty / fugly juge and juges every phone pic that is sent to him....

    I went last year, got through 6/7 steins and came out completely battered.

    Half our lot didnt get into the club afterwards.

    And some of the women are as fit as those photos, well after 6/7 steins anyway.

    You might miss a classic, like Exeter City at home or Wycombe Wanderers away. Can you really justify going to Munich with such potential excitement at CAFC?

    Seriously Munich is a great city (I was there last August) and the Oktoberfest is fantastic. It's years since I went and I would love another visit. Long flight from here though but it is our low season. Hmmm.................................
  • Went many years ago and had a really good time.

    Many of the Munich families come out as well and with the funfair and oompah bands its just friendly and great fun.

    Think my rendition of 2 World Wars and 1 World Cup at 3 in the morning in a Munich bar was not my finest hour but then I had been drinking since 10.30 in the morning.

    Have a great time.

    The only slight disappointment is that its now becoming an all ticket affair if you want to be there in the evening.
