It seemed for a while there was some interest for a meet-up. I am just wondering if there is still interest in meeting up somewhere in Reading,Newbury (Berkshire)

Would love to meet up with some fellow Americans if anyone is interested.

Hello all! :)

I have been in Newbury going on three years now and only met one American, that was in Sainsburys. Lol He had an Arizona cap on, so I got the guts up to talk to him. He did give me his business card and offered for me to call him, but am a bit shy at calling someone out of the blue like that.

I would love to meet up with some local fellow Americans! I am pretty homesick, and outside of my husband, pretty lonely. I haven't had any luck with jobs, so I am pretty much stuck at home.

I'm interested too and I'm happy to help plan. Might be nice to get a group together for Independence day or around then!

Wow, just looked back on here and am glad so many have responded. How funny, we were thinking the same thing about doing a meet-up on or around July

Since July 4th is on a Thursday it may be hard for everyone to meet up on a weeknight. If this is the case, how about we all plan on the following Saturday, July 6th? (We are taking the 4th off ourselves though)

Any ideas where a good place for a meet-up? We will be coming from the Warfield area. We have only been here since last October and am not to familiar with the Newburyport area but we are always up for an adventure

Maybe we can pick a central location for everyone to make it as easy as possible.

If Saturday July 6th works for everyone lets plan it. Feel free to email me directly at fahnlandersuk@gmail.com as it is the best way to reach us.

Sorry, just noticed I misspelled our email address. The correct one is fahnlanderuk@gmail.com

Sorry if anyone tried to email us and got it kicked back. Would love to hear if everyone is wanting to meet-up int he next few weeks.

Looks like we have the makings for a meet-up the weekend of July 6th.

If that weekend works for you, maybe reply and we can get a better idea of a meet-up place and how many people are coming.
 
Cheers

Hi everyone! :) Yay! I too would love to meet up with people that sound like me! :) My husband and I live relatively close to Reading and could easily get there, but sigh, I/we are not sure about the July 6 date as we have planned to sell some "goodies" at  carboot sales that weekend. (Yes, I'm one of those that brought waay too much stuff over!) Please, please, please keep me informed though! Looking forward to meeting you all! :) Kind regards, Diana

I know things fell apart last night but I'm happy to help plan something in the future if there is an evening or weekend that people would like to get together.

I've made a doodle pole. Simply enter your name and vote for the dates that would work for you and we'll go with the majority.

I thought Reading would be best but let me know if anyone thinks of somewhere nicer or easier for everyone. Hope to meet you all soon!
