Need help meeting new people
Hi
Myself and my husband moved to Barbados in October this year. My husband is retired but I am early 30's and will be looking to get a work permit (another story for another time !) and both will be applying for permanent residency.
We have bought a house in Christchurch and have been busy doing things around the house and garden.
Now we are settled in we have realised we haven't got to know many people yet. Everyone where we live is extremely friendly, we live surrounded by work professionals who, understandably, are out at work all day and have young families to attend to at night.
Any suggestions or contact details for groups / networks / societies etc would be appreciated. We know the island fairly well. As I have time to spare I have been looking in to volunteering options but again, any suggestions or contacts would be a help.
Also, I didn't want to restrict myself to solely expat groups as it would be nice to get to know all locals, but I have seen advertised the British Womens Club who seem to do some great fundraising but neither in the phone book nor online can I find any contact details.
Any help, suggestions or people free to meet up please let me know
