Every Oktoberfest group needs a b**r expert, a sausage enthusiast and someone who knows what time the bus leaves. 🍻🌭

Then there’s the one who “doesn’t dance”. We’ll check on them after the oompah band starts. 👀🎺

Swipe through, find your character and tag your mates with theirs. You can have more than one role — especially if you’ve made a spreadsheet while wearing lederhosen.

Which one are you? 👇

Every night out starts with a group chat. Getting everyone to read it is another matter. 😂🍻

There’s the organiser, the one asking questions already answered, the outfit planner… and the one whose only concern is sausages. 🌭

Tag your mates who’s who in your group? And spare a thought for your Sarah. She’s explained this three times already. 👀

📅 Makerfield Oktoberfest this Friday and Saturday, 16 - 17 October!

🍻 MAKERFIELD OKTOBERFEST BINGO! 🥨

Someone claiming they’re “only staying for an hour”? A mate who “doesn’t dance” suddenly leading the oompah? Someone taking a photo of their sausage? 👀🌭

Save this card and see how many you spot this Friday and Saturday!

No prizes. Just the satisfaction of being right about your mates. 😂

Tag the person most likely to get a square named after them 👇
