Regular meetups in Hannover

Good afternoon,
just out of curiosity, is it possible that English speakers actually do not meet as regularly in Hanover as they do in Bremen, Munich, Berlin etc.? Other cities seem to have a much large English speaking group than Hannover does. Would be nice if someone (pls. don't point any fingers at me) could start organizing regular meetups...
Thx, Hannoverman

Hi HM,

it's true, there are fewer meetups in Hannover than in Munich or Berlin. That's probably on account of Hannover being a smaller city, and secondly having a smaller proportion of English speakers too.

Nevertheless, regular meetups do happen. Probably the most popular is the "Hannover4EnglishSpeakers" meetup on the third Wednesday of each month at "Henry's Griddle" on Georgstrasse. See the related topic for full details: Hannover4EnglishSpeakers monthly meetup in Hannover. There's also the Anglophiles that meet twice a month.

Otherwise, why do you ask that nobody point fingers at you? It's really not hard to organise an event. Simply pick a venue, pick an evening, and make a post here. If there's demand then people will come. If not, you've only lost the three minutes it takes to make a post.

What Editor Bob said.

Hannover4EnglishSpeakers has its monthly meetings (next one is this Wednesday), plus occasional afternoon tea-times and pub quiz nights, and twice-monthly meetings for families with small kids. We announce them on TT sometimes, or otherwise you can check our calendar.

Other English-language groups in Hannover:

Anglicans in Hannover
Monthly church services in English

Anglophiles
Meets twice monthly, currently at the KDW in Osterstraße

German-Australian Society

Hannover-Bristol Society
Regular meetings in German, but with occasional English conversation evenings and get-togethers

International Women's Association of Hannover

SpeakEasy
Meets on last Monday of each month at the Bayrische Botschaft on Thielenplatz; also have occasional hikes and other meetings

There is also an informal group calling itself GNO for "Girls' Night Out" that the wimmin-folk can find on Facebook. I have heard that the university also has a conversation group, but don't know much about it.

If you do set up another group, please let me know and I'd be happy to swap links. But Hannover's not quite so dead as you think. Just that the Hannoverians don't seem to post much on TT, and it's not for lack of us Hannover TTers trying to change that.

When you´ve got H4ES Chat, who needs TT?

I would post more, but, like I´ve got a life, right? Seriously though, I quite often can´t be arsed to look in regularly, I seem to have lost interest.

Judging from the "activity" on H4ES Chat (or the near-total lack thereof in spite of 30-odd members) it would seem that Hannoverians just don't say much online, here there or anywhere.

I check in here almost daily, but aside from me nobody from Hannover seems to post much. *shrug*

Cheers,
