We can also change the time to much later, just thought if anyone else wants to go early in the morning, I'm game

It's a bit tougher for us in Zürich to get there so early Starbug. I could see myself getting into Bern between 8 and 9.

I've changed the time for 10...

Bump - I'm pushing this up the list, so that anyone wanting to reply finds it more easily. Let's hope the weather is decent for the event...

Damn!! might have gotten to meet you at last Oldhand, as well as everybody else. Blast it all to smithereens...!!

What if we are still there at 18.00?

If anyone is still around a 18.00, then we can just continue on at the märit...it doesn't actually finish up until 7 or 8.

What shall we do about setting the time?

Well I'd be up for 9.00, what about the others?

Wow, this would be my first event. I have been watching the Livers and Lovers info for a few months now hoping to see an event that my family could attend (since babysitters cost too much). I am already going to be there so this is perfect. I am so excited. Unfortunatley im not much of an early riser. I guess ill have to wait and see what you all descide on the time.

I look forward to meeting you all!!!

I've gone to the Zibelemarit in Bern about 5 years ago, I went by myself and this year I'd love to meet up with some people. Whoever is going, just let me know the time and I'll meet you there. I'm just in Goldau for a month until Dec 15th. Maybe I can swap numbers with someone to make sure we meet up? Cheers

Hi Lynn, sorry, didn't see this earlier (I've deactivated the subscription option).

I'll still be giving it a miss I'm afraid, as, by the time I get home, have a shower,change and generally make myself devastatingly 'byootiful', then head off to the train station, it's already going to around eight by the time I get to Bern.
Then factor in the chances of me finding you all in a reasonable length of time (I don't rate them very highly to be honest, I'm notorious for getting *waylayed*!!) I doubt it would be worth it, as you and others will already be getting ready to go home by then...

Besides, I spend that whole day looking after 18 month old twin boys and their little baby sister nearly nine months old and have noticed the most disturbing phenomena,,,, after getting home, having a bite to eat, making sure all is right in the world with my babies , I find that by around nine-o-clock, my eyes, no longer want to stay open

Still, there will be another time I'm sure, have a good time everyone,

Fair enough, can relate to that. Another time, and maybe not one with a group.

Deal!!

Oooh perfect! - I need to go to Bern that day to lodge my visa application at the Indian consulate ...for my work....

Does anyone want to suggest a train time from Zurich ?
I'll have my 11 month old in tow...

Hi Swisspea, Swissotter and I will be meeting at the main station in Zürich, I could pm you my mobile no. we'd like to get to Bern latest 10 so not to miss too much. Christa i'll PM you my no. too.

What is PM? I'm not to used to this english forum yet. I hope they have gluwein up and running at 10 to keep our fingers warm! My train goes through zurich hb and departs at 9 to bern. we can meet up on the train if you want. my email is niederberger79@hotmail.com if you want to anymore info. the festival is great!

Hi Christa, PM is private message - you can send a private message to the user...\

Also, best to take your email address off the forum (can you edit your post?) - because otherwise you will get a *lot* of spam...

Oh, Oldhand, thanks, please PM me, that'd be great.

Early morning start will be fine - bubs had me out of bed at 4:45am this morning... - usually we are at least awake by 5:30 and the older ones leave for school by 7am...

Am assuming something like 8-8:15 at Zurich HB.

First or Second class ticket ? - I'll probably try to pre-purchase...

I notice the InterCity takes just over an hour...

The consulate opens between 9:30and 12:30 so I'd love to meet you on the train, then head off to do what I need to do and maybe catch people up later in the day...depends if I have to be back in Zurich at 5:30 to get my kids from school too...

I will certainly be joining, shall I meet you all in Bern at the Treffpunkt (main hall at the railway station)? I don't know when the Zürich trains come in, so if I'm there around 10am, is that alright? I can also pm one of you my mobile number. Am really looking forward to meeting people from Zürich!
