Welcome!
We are pleased you have heard about our organization and would like to know more about us. We would love to tell you a little about ourselves and to let you know how you can become a part of our growing community here in North West England.
Just to give you a little information about the American Expats, let me tell you that in 1989 a small group of Americans living in Cheshire decided to gather for the first time and celebrate a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. After that, the interest in an expatriate social organization was so great that the founders decided to start a group that later expanded and in 1990 selected a name (The American Expats of Northwest England) and a slate of officers. In 1992 they added special interests activities, adopted a constitution and bylaws, printed up a membership directory, created a monthly newsletter and designed our guide, THE AMERICAN EXPATS SURVIVAL GUIDE to LIVING in NORTHWEST ENGLAND.
Today we are 70+ families strong, representing several nationalities all with ties to North America. We serve as an informal resource network and point of contact. We promote international friendship by welcoming Expats of other nationalities who share common experiences and interests. Although we are a relatively new organization we have grown tremendously and have developed a nice cultural mix.
The monthly coffees are really the core of the group. From these get-togethers we've added on many activities like Bunco, Wine Club, Book Club, etc. We also have several major social events throughout the year including a 4th of July Picnic, Thanksgiving, Holiday Lunch and Halloween.
We are a nonprofit organization and encourage members to get involved in their communities charities. As a group we help to support the Macclesfield Women's Aid through monthly household/clothing donations and various fundraisers.
We would love to have you as a permanent Member of our Organization. So, if you would like to join please click on the purchase membership button below.
