Most lectures are in German with a focus on Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In addition, members can make new contacts over a glass of wine, in German or English. Our atmosphere is hospitable and welcoming and we always welcome new guests who are interested in our topics and would like to meet like-minded members. In addition, we organize social conversation evenings for interested members once or twice a month in a local pub.
We aim to speak largely in German at our meetings: some of our members are
native speakers, some are very fluent and some of us struggle. But
no-one should feel intimidated - newcomers will find a very friendly,
supportive atmosphere.
The club further aims to promote interest in the language and culture of German-speaking countries. With the enormous appeal of Germany, Austria and Switzerland as study, work or travel destinations many of our members have joined to learn more about the countries they've visited and love.
We are affiliated to Cheltenham Arts Council and Cheltenham Twinning Association.
