British Expat Social groups in Winnipeg
Wondering if there is any groups in Winnipeg that get together and have some good old fashioned banter? Lived here for 15 years and my family is still missing the banter down at the pub. Is there such a thing or would we have to start one up. Family is between age of 28-56 years old.

Re: British Expat Social groups in Winnipeg
There is a thread about a meet up in Winnipeg on BE - albeit old. You could always post a meet up here and then make a thread so people know about it - or send them pm's and ask if they would be interested.

Wife and I are in our early 40's and like pubs, especially yours! Been here 8 years, live rurally North of Ste Anne, I like a lot of the pubs in Wpg but sometimes get frustrated at living too far away from it all!
By all means include us if you start up something...

It is quite interesting that although I never looked for my 'own kind' when I came here, Italians socialize with Italians, Philipinos stick with Philipinos and so on, maybe finding some more Brits isnt such a bad thing!!

I went to a bar in Osbourne Village called Carlos end something. It was llod of a Mexican bar but had a good crowd in there. I met an English guy there and a load of decent locals. I even got 'natived' in the words of the locals.

I can hopefully give you advice on either as I work in South East Winnipeg (at the Mint) and I live in South East Manitoba!
