FRÜHSCHOPPEN Frühschoppen is understood more generally to be a gathering in a pub on Sunday morning, traditionally held after church service and was celebrated in Germany since many hundreds of years. It is accompanied by drinks (mostly wine and beer) in a “Schoppen” (which is traditionally half a pint). Therefore the name “Früh – Schoppen.” Join us every Fourth Sunday of the month from 10:30AM to 2PM at the Club to celebrate the tradition of Frühschoppen with traditional food. You have a chance to socialize and get to know other guests and club members. Admission is free. Click here for details. |
