Bayerischer Löwe 2023 - Part 2

Part 2 -- posted Dec. 12, 2022:  The host Verein of the 2023 Preisplatteln um den Bayerischen Löwen, D’Würmlust Stamm Gauting, contacted me to confirm that plans for the 2023 Bayerischer Löwe are now official.  It will be held in conjunction with the 90th Isargaufest, which will take place in Gauting from Wednesday, May 17, 2023, to Sunday, May 21, 2023. The competition is on Thursday, May 18. Their published program was emailed to the Vereine the end of November.
 
I’ve also emailed their Festzug participation form for Vereine that will have their own band (or Kutsche).  I don’t think we will, but we should give them an approximate count of how many Vereine and participants from Gauverband Nordamerika plan to participate early next year so they can plan accordingly.  Please let me know if you are planning on going and I’ll let them know.
 
No hotel information has been provided but I will ask for recommendations.  Accommodations will likely be limited, and it may be necessary to stay in villages outside of Gauting.  Bookings.com is an excellent resource for finding hotels and Gasthäuser.
 
I will reach out to our eligible competitors to confirm who will be going shortly.  I’ll share the latest competition rules and any additional details at that time.
 
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
 
Part 1 -- posted Nov. 12, 2022:  While in Munich I was told that tentative plans to hold the Bayerischer Löwe Preisplatteln were being made and that the event would most likely be held in Gauting on Thursday, May 18, 2023.  There was also talk about letting all eligible competitors impacted by the last few BL cancellations, and therefore not having had the chance to compete, participate.  This would mean that our 1st and 2nd place groups from both our 2019 and 2022 Gaufeste would be eligible, as would Einzelpreisplatteln medalists from those Gaufeste.  However, you would compete in the category corresponding to your age on the day of competition.
 
Nothing official has been shared.  In the past we’ve received an invitation from the host Gauverband and host Verein with more details regarding the event.  This invitation was usually sent in the late winter or early spring.
 
I will share more details as they become available.  Please remember that this is tentative so far.  I wanted everyone to be aware of how this was evolving.
