Dear fellow Wackers,
Time flies and already over one year passed since the former most improved Wacker Octoberfest alongside his well dressed Wacker wife Larissa and his Wacker daughter Katharina left Sydney for good to start a new chapter in their diplomatic rotation life in Berlin. Well, you always - at least that is my perception - need one year to get adapted to a new place, especially when you have not the support of a local Wacker organisation. Unfortunately I couldn't conserve the good play I was showing at my last Wackerthon and all my efforts to set up a Berlin section of the Wackers failed due to a total different tennis infrastructure here in Berlin. All tennis players here are organised in clubs which have different teams (junior, senior, seniors over 30/40 etc.) playing in different leagues. I didn't join a team yet and one cannot organise something Wacker-like due to the lack of free courts in the evening hours. So I certainly miss the Wednesday Wackerthons here in Germany. But anyway I'm glad to hear that this week you will play the 2nd Octoberfest Cup at Latham Park. As I cannot be with you in Sydney I decided to visit the original Oktoberfest in Munich which not only was great fun but a true challenge: imagine yourself dancing on a beer bench in a overcrowded tent with about 5000 mad people, drinking as much Maß (one litre of tasty Oktoberfest beer) as possible. So I wish you at least as much fun at the 2nd Octoberfest Cup as I had at the Oktoberfest in Munich!
Cheers!
