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.

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.

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.
