As a member of the FvB you can take advantage of these activities:
Our fully coloured periodical publication called BIERDECKEL-MAGAZIN with up
to 120 pages is issued five times a year and delivered free to the door by
ordinary mail. If you do not want to receive the BDM by surface mail, you have
to include in your payment an additional air mail fee of EUR 20.00 per year. The
German language is the common standard.
Every member is entitled to 5 free advertisements in German, English or French
with up to 18 print lines to publish his offers and wants in our magazine to get
in contact with our members all over the world. Announcement of sale are not
free.
Members and affiliated persons are invited to attend our international exchange
meetings, which are organized 10 times a year at various places all over in
Germany to indulge one's accumulative passion. Senior members help beginners by
donating material or straight tips to build up a proper collection.
Regular local meetings can be attended in various German cities. Details can be
found in the BDM or on our homepage.
You come to know dates and venues of other meetings in Europe.
People not being able to attend meetings can trade through the post. We offer
establishing new contacts by ads in the BDM or with the help of our list with
trade prospects.
After refunding our expenses you can purchase all publications such as brewery
directories either via our shop or at meetings.
For collectors of beermats/coasters, beer labels, crown caps, playing cards and
drop catchers we have established special services called "Beschaffungsdienste"
to provide new issues.
If you have any unidentified breweriana, you can ask officials of the FvB, who
try to assist you in filing them properly.
Membership fee per annum:
41.00 euros for regular members, 23.00 euros for students,
pupils, apprentices and those serving his military duty.
11.00 euros for connector members to regular members without supply of the
Bierdeckel-Magazin.
We impose a once-only admission fee of 7.00 euros. In return every new member
obtains a membership book, not a card, for which we need your passport photo
together with your application, and a package of beer mats/coasters or labels of
your own choice.
