Welcome!
We are pleased you have heard about our organization and would like to know more about us. Our online forum is designated to current members only, but we would love to tell you a little about ourselves and to let you know how you can become a part of our growing community here in North West England.
Just to give you a little information about the American Expats, let us tell you that in 1989 a small group of Americans living in Cheshire decided to gather for the first time and celebrate a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. After that, the interest in an expatriate social organization was so great that the founders decided to start a group that later expanded and in 1990 selected a name (The American Expats of Northwest England) and a slate of officers. In 1992 they added special interests activities, adopted a constitution and bylaws, printed up a membership directory, created a monthly newsletter and designed our guide, THE AMERICAN EXPATS SURVIVAL GUIDE to LIVING in NORTHWEST ENGLAND.
Today we are 70+ families strong, representing several nationalities all with ties to North America. We serve as an informal resource network and point of contact. We promote international friendship by welcoming Expats of other nationalities who share common experiences and interests. Although we are a relatively new organization we have grown tremendously and have developed a nice cultural mix.
As an organization, we hold many different events throughout the year. We have a monthly coffee, a weekly Mom and Tots playgroup as well as activities such as Bunco, Wine Club, Book Club, Hike and Lunch, Days Out etc. Additionally we have several major social events throughout the year including a 4th of July Picnic, a Thanksgiving Dinner, a Holiday Lunch and a Halloween Party.
We are a nonprofit organization and encourage members to get involved in their communities charities. As a group we help to support the Children's Adventure Farm Trust through donations and various fundraisers.
We would love to help you in your transition here in the Northwest of England! We have all gone through the move and are more then happy to help in ANY way! If you have any questions or would like further information, please feel free to contact.
