We’re BAAAAACK!
It’s been a long break, and it’s about time we got this party started. Thanks to Stephen Dell, who’ll be our organizer! Must’ve got tired of winning…
Our date and location are confirmed – but not much else! What can you contribute to make this event a success?  Our To-Do list is here!
Please do “book” a spot with our form so we have an idea of numbers – spectator payment will be taken on the day in cash for our charity donation to the Alzheimer Gesellschaft München e.V.
—————————–

Thank you so much to everyone who came and competed, played, enjoyed, and socialized! We had a great time and can’t wait until next year!

Thank you Zar Bar for hosting!

Suggestions for improvement for next year included:

  • June instead of July to reach more people
  • “Sweets” instead of “Cookies” – broader, more inclusive
  • Plates with divisions so chilis don’t mix
  • All-advance registrations to keep straight which chili is whose
  • Dedicated photographer – dangit, we didn’t manage to get a group photo!
