We are a small friendly group of people who are either native speakers of German, have lived in a German-speaking country or are studying the language. Our aim is to foster an interest in the German language and in German-speaking countries. We have an annual programme including talks by native speakers on all sorts of subjects.

We also run a Stammtisch every Wednesday between 11:30 am and 2:00pm, at the upstairs room at Cafe Retro, 18 York Street, Bath (by Bog Island).
