About Brits Abroad
We launched our 'Brits Abroad Website' in the summer of 2001 and since then we have gone from just a few web visitors a day to well over 1,000 on a busy day. Our theme has always been to be very staunchly British which means being very proud of our homeland and for all that Britain is, and stands for.
The 'Brits Abroad Newsletter' began in January 1994 in Vancouver, Canada. The first mailing was to 52 interested readers worldwide that had answered an ad about the newsletter in 'The International Express'. Since then it has grown to 1,000 subscribers worldwide. It will be faded out in 2006 with the last issue being sent on June 1st 2006. You may order the last few months copies on a pro-rata basis and also reserve a copy of the final issue. We shall then just concentrate on our two websites, Brits Abroad, and, Club Saint George, the former retaining the format of the Newsletter and its respected writers. Order at: Britmail@aol.com
