The North American Connection is an organization committed to the support of North Americans living in England mainly in the West Midlands.

The Club, while essentially social, provides assistance with integration into the English community, as well as the opportunity for charitable activity.

Our goal is to understand the needs of new expatriates and to help bridge their transition into British culture.

We are here to provide friendship and support, as well as social, educational, and philanthropic activities for our members.

The majority of our members are from the United States or Canada. The club is open to all women with a particular connection to North America or a specific interest in Club activities.

Our Members

We are a diverse group of women who are here due to a short- or long-term work assignment or who have chosen to relocate to England permanently.

We include women who are single, partnered, or married. Many members have children - both young and grown-up. We come from all areas of the Midlands but most members reside within an hour's radius of Birmingham, including Solihull, Leamington Spa, Stafford, Derby, Worcester, and Stratford-upon-Avon.

We also belong to a larger organization of expatriate women's clubs called FAWCO - The Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas.

We have a number of active groups plus activities, including:

• Thanksgiving dinner and July 4t
• Canada Day Celebrations
• Moms and Tots
• Coffee Gatherings
• Pub Lunches
• Book Clubs
• Dining out with spouses and partners
• Business Net working
