- Summer Outing
Our next scheduled event is the Summer Outing: a visit to Kempen, with a 90-minute English guided tour at 2pm, followed by a café visit, on Saturday, 22nd August.
The guide can only accept 9 people, with face masks and social distancing.
Public Transport: Düsseldorf Hbf 13:09 platform 5, the RE10 travels to Kempen (once an hour) arriving 13:44. A 5-minute walk, straight down Thomasstraße and left into Burgstraße, takes us to the starting point: museum at the former Franziskanerkloster at Burgstraße 19.
The café is “Café am Ring Amberg” (Vorster Straße 2) which has an enormous selection of cakes – but currently closes at 17:00.
The hourly train back is at 17:15 (18:15, etc).
If you would like to come, please let Susan know by email or phone after 17th August, and provide your postal address and phone number, as we have to give these to the guide and to the café, for Corona-tracking.
- Autumn programme
We hope to issue the autumn programme in the second half of August, as the level of restrictions at the VHS may be clearer by then.
If the autumn meetings do go ahead, these are the dates we are proposing: 12th and 26th September, 31st October, 28th November, 12th December (AGM), with the theatre on Friday, 13th November.
The numbers of participants will probably still be restricted, but paid-up members will be given priority. And we suggest you bring with you any water you need to meetings this autumn.
- Money matters
If the autumn programme goes ahead, we will propose at the AGM that this year’s paid-up members, who want to be members in 2021 too, get a discount next year of 7.50 €. If the autumn should be disrupted by a second wave, then we will adapt this plan again.
Some of you are still owed money back for the cancelled theatre evening, Oliver. It would help if you could bring your tickets to the next event, otherwise we will ask you to sign a receipt for our book-keeping.
Keep well and hope to see you soon,
The Committee
