Yes, it's Fasnacht time! Come one, come all, newbies, lets all meet up.

Fasnacht does not start to get interesting until it is dark, so meeting up too early is not a good idea, unless everyone wants to go for dinner first. I would suggest meeting at 8.30-9pm and heading down to the Zytglogge area where everything happens anyway.

The day is a Friday.

Hey guys, I'm completely a newbie in Bern, just started working here about 3 weeks ago.
I really hope to have fun and meet some new people!

See ya on Friday!

I would love to come, but I would have to know that there will be some people staying up until the early hours in the morning so I'm not alone! Is anyone that much of a party animal? It's either that, or I leave really early. Pain in the bum!

I am ready for party

See you all on Friday

Hi guys

How regular is the social scene in Bern for you lot? I ask as I live in London but spend a fair amount of time in Spiez and Bern so would be interested in joining an event. What is the age range at events please?

Guys just one question: where do we meet? Can somebody provide more information? Or just post some tel. number, at least if I don't find anybody I can give a call and meet as I am completely a newbie and don't know anybody in Bern yet

To answer everyones questions at once. I can't really say what the general age group is but usually not much below 30. It depends on who shows up and it doesn't actually matter, how old people are.
The meeting point is the Markthalle, at the main bar upstairs. I will be there before 8, and I will be drawing a sign today, with ENGLISH FORUM written on it, as it is Fasnacht I doubt the Bernese will find this odd. I also have short blonde hair and will be carrying a red bag. My mobile number is 078 619 71 23 so please call me if you can't find the Markthalle, me or my sign.
How late the event goes on to really depends on the people who are coming. And Graham - shall we meet up with your group later? Call me so we know where you'll be.

Hi!! Glad you can come. I've included my number in the other post, but to be safe, 078 619 71 23. Do you know where the Markthalle is? Otherwise I can meet you in the main hall at the railway station, otherwise,

www.markthalle-bern.ch has a map.

Hoping we will be meeting up on a regular basis, I think at least 3 times a month would be nice goal, but I've tried that before and organising everything on my own turned out to be a little difficult! I can't really say who is in the Bern crowd now, it used to be more of the 30+ age range, but that was a year ago, and things have probably changed. Anyway, I hope you can make it to one of the events, if not this one. I live close to Interlaken perhaps we can organise a meet for the people who live around Thun and Spiez?

Hey Starbug, I'm quite young as compared to the average age (I'm 23...), but I guess that's not important!

I'll find the place and you somehow, and If I don't I'll give you a call
I still need to figure out the public transport scene here in Bern, luckily the ffs website is my savior

Looking forward to meet ya guys and finallyyyyy have some fun in Bern!

No age is not important...if it was none of us would ever go out. Where do you live in Bern? If you walk from the Loeb (the big store on the corner as you come out of the railway station, near the church) in the direction of Hirschengraben ie opposite direction to the old city, it is just up the sidewalk, practically next to a shoe store and an opticians. But yes, give me a buzz, I'll be there early.

Got it, now I know where it is, I've already been there I think
I live in Hinterkappelen actually, it's about 15 mins by bus from the Hauptbahnhof.

Alright then, see ya tomorrow, I think I'll reach there at about 8pm.

Hi, we can SMS each other in the evening and try to meet up at the Zunft zu Webere at 10 pm, in Gerechtigkeitsgasse 68 at the lower end of the Old City. It is great inside, sometimes even dancing, perhaps music upstairs, but probably no room. It will be impossible to hear the phone!
Probably I wear "The Scream" mask at least to hide my balding head: http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/u...2/scream-2.jpg

Sounds great. The Zunft is fun place - I'll steer us in that direction for 10pm. Otherwise SMS is a good idea.
