OCUK German Christmas Market Visit

mp3duck · 7 Aug 2012 at 22:51

So, it may be months away, but I was thinking it would be a great idea to have an OCUK visit to one of the German Christmas Markets later this year?

I've been to the Bremen one in the past, and that was excellent.
I've also heard that the Berlin one is good.

Any one interested?

In terms of accommodation, I guess once we have decided on which one to visit and when, people can group up depending on what level/quality they want (hostel, hotel, luxury hotel etc)

Why go all the way to Germany when you can just go to Birmingham.

Because the ones in Germany are better!
And we can spend the nights drinking German beer!

Plus, it's a nice break!

Why go to Germany when you can go to just about every large city in the UK?
