  1. Is the time difference between here and Germany up to 31 days now? (...in the wrong direction)

  2. Germany's Oktoberfest is held mostly in September & early October. So..maybe this is what works for them. Who knows..some of these members might be in Germany for the real thing then.

  3. Oktoberfest begins in Sept and ends on the first Sunday of October (unless the first Sunday is the 1st or 2nd of Oct).

    So they scheduled it for August so it wouldn't conflict with their vacation? Wouldn't surprise me.
