Why: Cover the cost of Meetup.com charge approx $180 a year.

We are a wonderfully eclectic mix of characters, young, young at heart, couples, singles, parents and children. We hail from all parts of the UK, are married to someone from the UK, have just arrived or have spent considerable time there and miss fish 'n chips, Walker's crisps, Bird's custard, decent chocolate and taking time to have a good whinge about the weather. If that sounds like you, come on and join us. We get together a few times a month to have a natter, a bit of a laugh, a drink or two, and to reconnect with our roots. If you enjoy good company with your fellow Brits, come and give us a try.

We also welcome our rugby playing nations Aussies. Kiwi's and South African's, we don't mind if you have been here 20 years or 2 months, come along, all are welcome, the group are really very friendly and easy going.

Most events are open to all members, we do some women only and men only events (usually happy hours!) If we do a dancing event we open this to all, i.e. you can bring friends. I live NW of town so I will post stuff out there too. We try and do stuff out in Katy and Woodlands too, but mostly its in Central Houston so its fair for everyone to get into town.

All Members are welcome to post an event, just email me and tell me when, where etc.

RSVP PLEASE UPDATE IF YOUR PLANS CHANGE. ALSO REMEMBER TO RATE THE MEETUPS YOU ATTEND - THANKS

Photo and personal bio/information required for membership; non-photo & non-bio member requests may not be accepted.

Please plan to add a yearly donation of $5 per person to the group to help me pay for the meetup fees or buy me a drink next time we are out :-), you can pay on paypal with a credit card or just hand me cash or check at an event.

Thanks

Sue
