What? Ultimate Frisbee.

No really, what? Basically it involves throwing and catching a frisbee while running about, generally with a collective visit to the beer garden afterwards. Absolute beginners are very welcome, the game is really easy to pick up and it's a great way to get fit. If you can throw a frisbee and run about a bit you'll do fine. Take a look here for more about the game: Ultimate Frisbee - Wikipedia.

Who plays? A mixture of Toytowners and folks from the Max-Planck-Institut. See: Frisbee people.

How can I join? Just post here and turn up. It doesn't cost anything and everyone is welcome. Play every session, play once a week, turn up and give it a go but don't bother again - whatever you fancy.

When? We usually play Sundays at 2pm and Wednesdays at 6pm, April through October. Note that it is important to read this thread the previous day for up-to-date information, especially on hot or rainy days. If you don't have internet access over the weekend PM TT member jayhay for his mobile phone number.

Where? We play at one of two locations in the English Garden (see below). We change venue depending on the time of year: the Giselastrasse location is easier to get to, but it gets so busy during summer that it's impossible to find space. Check the thread for confirmation.
  • nr. Giselastrasse: Marked as "1" on the map. Generally we go to the Chinese Tower beer garden afterwards.
  • nr. Biergarten "Hirschau": Marked as "2" on the map. Generally we go to the Hirschau beer garden afterwards.

Anyone know how the weather is over there? Just got a little rain here but it sort of looks like it might pass...

Rained in city center which has passed, but looks like the next front is on the way sad.gif

I'm driving in now. I figure there is at least an hour before the next front comes through. Or, we can just play in the rain. :-)

rain is coming down quite heavily in Schwabing now? ohmy.gif

I guess studded shoes are going to be an advantage as the grass will be slippery now.

I spoke a bit too quickly. After writing the last post, gathering up my stuff, I went out side, and you can guess what I saw. Oh well, I guess it will have to wait until Wednesday.

We now know who the hardcore frisbee people are.

Five of us played in the rain and it was pretty fantastic. And the beer tasted ever so good afterwards.
