Stammtisch: Loosely translated from German meaning a "regular get-together." Literally speaking, the word Stammtisch is a table in a bar or restaurant which is reserved for the same guests at the same time every day or every week. There is usually a sign on the table saying "Stammtisch." If you don't belong to this table, don't attempt to sit there! In the most traditional German beer halls there is a large brass plaque above the table with the word Stammtisch printed on it in bold lettering.
There can be all kinds of Stammtisch. There are those simply for friends to drink together. Or those for specific interest groups - say a "Philosophy Discussion Stammtisch" or a "Stamp Collectors Stammtisch". In our case, it's a "Geocaching Stammtisch."
This event continues a new Alaskan caching tradition of cachers informally, but regularly, getting together to swap stories, tips, and tricks over a meal or beverage. You can be the host of the next event - attend this one and see how easy it is to do!
Happy Spring!
