New Pubs

Mel and I have been throwing around the idea of going to a different pub once every fortnight in order to spice Stammtisch up a bit. The reaction from the Stammtischler is positive, so we will be beginning this new format soon.

In the mean time it would be great if you could give us you recommendations. It does not necessarily need to be in the city, but it would need to be easy and quick to get to. Start voting with your comments and we'll see the best that Sydney has to offer throughout the rest of semester!

Bobbin Head Bushwalk

NOTE: The walk has been postponed from the original date and will now take place on the 9th September.

The UTS-Stammtisch is organising its first bushwalk for this semester. We will be walking to Bobbin Head in the renowned Kuring-Gai Chase National Park. We will start at North Turramurra and walk along Cowan Creek until we reach Bobbin Head, a popular marina in the middle of the national park. From there we will either return along a bush track that provides stunning views of the creek and surroundings or go to Mt Kuring-Gai station via Appletree bay. It's a must for nature lovers!

When: Sunday 9th September
Meeting point: We will be catching the 9:58 train from Central to Turramurra (arriving 10:40) along the North Shore Line. At Turramurra a short bus connection will take us to the national park.
What you'll need: Plenty of water, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, food (or you may wish to purchase food, which is available at Bobbin Head), camera.
Difficulty: The walk is roughly 10km and is moderately hilly. It will be easier than the last walk that we did for Stammtisch. As long as you can walk 10km you should be fine, we will not be walking terribly fast.
Duration: 4 hours?

Please let us know if you plan to come, hope to see you there!

UTS Stammtisch scientifically proven to ward off uni blues

Hi all,

Welcome back to the new semester! I hope you've had a nice break, and are ready to tackle the next 14 weeks head on!

If not, Stammtisch is out of hybernation and we're here to help you through your uni blues, allowing you to come to the Claire every week and vent your spleens over a beer or three about that lecturer you can't (under)stand, and that tutor who stands threateningly over you as you try valiantly to make a comment in class... and all in German!

We look forward to seeing you TONIGHT at the Claire (opposite the UTS tower building) at 7:30pm, and every Thursday night after that.

See you tonight!
