Events
Introduction
Despite being largely a virtual community, with members distributed throughout the United Kingdom, German-speaking countries and even the USA and Australia, ITI German Network does occasionally hold events and get togethers to allow some ‘face time’.
TopComing soon
The next event on the GerNet calendar is the ITI German Network Work and Playshop to be held in Bath in April 2012.
The programme includes dinner on Friday, 20 April, the presentations and workshops on Saturday, 21 April, an evening meal and/or Bath Comedy Walk on Saturday evening and a visit to an attraction in Bath on the Sunday. The venue is the prestigious Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution.

It is an easy walk from the station (approximately 15 minutes). The closest long-stay car park is Charlotte Street, 5 mins from Queen Square. Traffic in Bath is bad and parking expensive so the three P+R car parks on the outskirts of Bath are a good option. http://visitbath.co.uk/travel-and-maps/parking-in-bath/bath-park-and-ride
If you are coming by car and staying overnight you may want to find a B&B or hotel outside the town centre and walk or bus in.
