DandNHILL,
Looks like we will have to come and visit youlol
I think we are the only ones in Ottawa, or the natives are shy.

Would love to see you guys Arty :wub: We could be :drinkingpals:

Re: Ottawa,Kanata.
 

There seem to be a few BE members from your area, but not much mention of meet-ups...

Despite living in Saint-Perpetua-in-the-Back-of-Nowhere Qc, I have made it to a couple of Toronto gatherings, because they coincided with other plans to be there; well worth it. I could do Ottawa (it's not *that* far from me) too, possibly, if I could tie it into other reasons to visit.

(On the other hand, I promised to try & meet up with a MTL BE member ages ago, as I'm in the city regularly, but haven't been able to make that work :(. ).

Some years ago, I used to be in Ottawa quite often, & there seemed to be quite a lot of Brit gatherings going on. Have you had a look at meet-up.com?

Arty...in the east we are a little scattered! Bristol and I fly the flag for our respective bits....sometimes one does miss a fellow Brit....that's why I love BE...I'll never get to a meet up, as they're too far away, and in a way that's good too...all the friends that I have on here....(and yes, after this length of time I consider very many of the posters as friends) I feel that I know quite well, but I'm not constrained by how they look, it's sort of like a silent version of The Archers but with written responses!

Some years ago in Europe, I really wanted to meet other parents with bi-lingual school aged kids, so I put posters up in a 40 km radius in supermarkets and the response was incredible. It was really successful; a club was started and they still meet twice a month now. Might be worth a thought. Very best of luck:thumbup:
