Useful Lists on English Contacts

Recently I started a little research to get a list of English roundtables in Ruhr. I wrote an Email to all four contacts and the result was a surprise.  Wolfgang Wosmann from The Social Club Mülheim an der Ruhr sent me a list with a lot of them. (Many thanks!) But he also added that not at all of them native speakers take part. Anyway, it will add a lot of items to my list.

The list of ‘English Speaking Clubs in NRW’ is provided by the British General-Consulate in Düsseldorf. It is last updated in April 2008. The website of the General-Consulate contaings further ‘Useful Lists‘. Have a look at them.

Is there something like this from any other English speaking country, it’s embassy or a consulate?

Boring ‘Very British’-Festival

Here’s my report on the ‘Very British’-Festival at the Rhein Ruhr Zentrum shopping mall in Mülheim an der Ruhr. I had announced it here. It was only okay and not really worth going there. The trick worked – we did shopping

Very British – Festival At Rhein-Ruhr-Shopping Center

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.

• a visit of the “Queen” (sounds like a look-alike),
• British live music,
• British movies in original languages, at least two per day, and
• a restaurant offering Fish’n'Chips.

There is a printed program which is also available as a PDF document here.
