Pam – my wife – said “Jackpot?!?“ to me, when I found that page. I first found a list of English groups, theaters, institutions and doctors on www.foodfromhome.de, second I found the page of ‘The Social Club’ in Mülheim an der Ruhr which offers more interesting links. The rest of this article will cover ‘The Social Club‘.
Due to its website, it’s a ‘British run Bed & Breakfast. Unique in Germany! World-Famous’ in Dortmund.‘ Its only a few kilometers away from Dortmund Airport and the owners offer a shuttle service “for guest arriving”.
I had a look at the pictures on the website. It looks very typical for ‘bed & breakfast’. Even if I live, I might consider it when I’ll have to take an early flight out from Dortmund.
Via the website of the British German Club in Duisburg, I found a hint to an English theater group at the university of Duisburg. The university is now the university of Duisburg and Essen after they joined. The group is already nearly 30 years old and consists of students and aluminis. It calls itstelf the “Duisburg University Englsih Thespians”
Surfing the internet and looking for a page with the word ‘British’, I ran into the page of the British-German Club Duisburg, an officially registered club. Here’s how they describe themselves:
We call our association the British-German Club Duisburg (officially listed as: Deutsch-Britische Gesellschaft Duisburg). In fact, we are open to anyone, regardless of nationality.
What ever your roots may be, we look forward to welcoming you to one of our meetings or events. So pop by, or join us regularly, for instance, for the opportunity to converse in English and take part in a variety of activities, ranging from talks on current affairs to contemporary and traditional cultural events and get-togethers. We are, of course, glad to embrace nationals from other English-speaking countries worldwide. People from all walks of life who either come to our city on a brief stay or to live here on a permanent base, attend the meetings of the British-German Club Duisburg. Why not come and have a look for yourself in order to both enjoy and add to the scope of activities our club has to offer.
They seem to have a monthly meeting. Looks like it is each month on the first Thursday at the pub Hundertmeister in Duisburg-Dellplatz. They list their planned acitivties on their webpages. There is more than just round tables.
Yesterday I wrote about the “Very British” festival at the Rhein-Ruhr-Zentrum shopping mall in Mülheim. The festival also contains at least two English movies per day at the Cinemaxx cinemas there. Here is a list of the movies in English language between July 2nd and 11th:
There’s no guarantee for the correctness of this information.
From July 2nd to 11th there will be a “Very British” Festival at the shopping mall of ‘Mülheim an der Ruhr‘, not far form the city limits of the city of Essen. The mall is called ‘Rhein-Ruhr-Zentrum‘. There will be several events. I assume that most of them will take place on a stage, i.e.
There is a printed program which is also available as a PDF document here.
Pamela told me, Canada-Day is July 1st. Well, at the Ruhr University in Bochum it July 3rd. Looking for the English theater group “The Edna’s” I just found a conference about history and politics of Canda: “Canada-Day 2009: The Other America. Canada in historical and political reasearch” is the (tranlated) title of a conference on Wednesday, 3rd of July.
Looking at the program there seem to be some speechs and talks in English language. I wonder a little bit that they didn’t offer an English translation for the conference. I wonder even more because it is organized by the chair for history of North America.

On Februar 12th i wrote about a supermarket on wheels called ‘food from home‘. On Saturday, 13th of June 2009 my wife and me finally visited its stop at the theater of the musical Starlight Express in Bochum. Well, it’s more a van than a lorry. We only bought Kraft’s Maccaroni with cheese (without any cheese in it) and a packet of baking soda. Later we found out that we could have used ‘Kaiser Natron’ which is available at pharmacies. Anyway, I produced a small video of one minute length about the supermarket on wheels with British-American food.
Right now I am working on several videos to be released soon but this is the first one ever published on youtube.
