Re: Looking for Brits in NC/ SC
its only popular because everybody that plays is from Europe, oh saying that there is one canadian and a couple of Yanks and yes Hubby is British he's actually the Coach of Triad Rugby and I have to thank god for it! if it wasn't for his rugby he'd be at home on the weekends driving me crazy so he's got his hobby and we've got ours, which is cool coz then we've got something different to talk about over dinner.

No worries Simon, can I bring the family with me?, actually saying that my OH loves going to the Blind Tiger pub on a Saturday with all his Rugby mates (he's the coach of the Triad Rugby team) so you'll meet loads of English, Welsh and Australian if you fancy something different.
P.S. just added us to the frappr

Sometime this summer I'll bring my lot down there too. My wife Heidi (yeah, I know, she hates her name, although I don't know why?
) and our 2 boys, Ben (7) and Cameron (4). Also, I'm from the wirral in Merseyside, originally from Runcorn though.
Take care,
Simon

Definately Simon, I have a little girl Kiya who's 5 and is a complete tomboy and would love to play with them and I'd love to chat with some fellow Northerners (oops that is if your wife is from the North),..So how long have you been here and whereabouts in NC do you actually live?

Re: Looking for Brits in NC/ SC
Actually my wife is originally from Greensboro. We currently live in Reston, Va.
However, Heidi wants to move back down there.......so that's why I'm travelling back and forth to Greensboro, looking at commercial real estate, to open my first restaurant.
Hopefully, the first of several.......
I'll let you know when I'm going to be in the area?
Thanks,
Simon.

Re: Looking for Brits in NC/ SC
Hey there!!
I'm a recent-ish transplant to NC (18 mos) and would like to meet other brits living here. I keep hearing about you all but I NEVER meet anyone!! :curse:
You know, when you go in to a shop and they ask where you're from and then they give you the run down of all the places they have ever been in their fabulous life and the British people they know... ALL OF WHOM I HAVE NEVER MET!!!
OK, that's my gripe over. I am a calm and friendly person, honest!! It just seems that there are apparently a ton of Brits in my area and they're all invisible!! Prove me wrong, that it's not consipracy!!!
So, if you are in the NC/ SC area and would like to meet up with/ chat to a fellow hybrid then let me know.
Take care!

No this is a new group that has been formed on meetup.com. The organizer is Elizabeth Hinds and you will find it on meetup,com as: THE GREENSBORO EXPAT BRITISH, IRISH AND SCOTTISH MEETUP GROUP. The next meet up is scheduled for Aug 11th. Hopefully more people will join as at present there are only 4 of us.

Re: Looking for Brits in NC/ SC
Glad to be of assistance. You probably won't see me on the 11th as I am already going to a "do" at the local Elks lodge,I have just had an email from Elizabeth Hinds and as no one else has yet replied as a yes to the 11th, the date may change to accomodate me. Hope you do join us and that others will to. I cannot wait for some new mates who live locally!!
