The British Women's Club is a non-profit social club for women. We meet regularly over a cup of coffee and have an organised programme of activities for members and their families (see sidebar folders). Please contact us at info@bwcmoscow.co.uk if you would like further information. If you would like us to call you back, please include your telephone number.

We have approximately 200 members.

We hold our monthly meeting in the British Embassy and, because of the security issues, our membership is only open to British Passport holders and spouses or partners of British Passport Holders. If you are a foreign national with a British spouse/partner, you are required to provide a copy of your spouse/partner's passport when you join, for security reasons.

Those who do not meet these criteria will be unable to join us at the monthly Embassy meetings, but will be made welcome at the weekly coffee mornings at Starbucks. Please contact the Newcomers' Coordinator or visit the Coffee Mornings page for more information.

The next BWC meeting at the British Embassy will be at the start of the new 2009-10 expat year in September (date will be confirmed nearer the time). Our weekly coffee mornings at Starbucks will continue throughout the summer. Please visit the other pages of this website for more information or contact us at info@bwcmoscow.co.uk. "What's On" information is posted on the Members' Ads & Notices page.

New members and existing members will be able to join the BWC at these meetings if a Committee Member is present; please ensure you have your completed membership form with your fee ready.

Membership Notice: Please visit the Membership & Contacts page if you would like further
information on how to join the BWC. If you have joined but haven't yet received any emails from us, please contact the Membership Secretary at: members@bwcmoscow.co.uk or the Newsletter Coordinator at: bwc_newsletter@yahoo.co.uk. Thank you!

...of British Nationals ('LOCATE')

The FCO recommends that British nationals and their families register when travelling or living abroad. A new registration system has been set up for this purpose, called LOCATE. To register online, visit http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travelling-and-living-overseas/Locate/; you will need to create a user name and password to enter the site. The only mandatory sections are those asking for personal and passport details and for travel/living information. LOCATE assumes everybody starts their travels from the UK (called a 'trip' in LOCATE), which could be a long weekend in Spain, a few weeks in South Africa or a few months/years living and/or working in Russia. You can only register for a maximum period of one year, which you can renew. If you fail to renew after receiving an email prompt near your expiry date, the system will discontinue any registration and you will have to set up a new registration.

Note: This service is not related to the British Women's Club, so please contact the British Embassy on telephone 956 7200 or email LOCATE using the form given on their website if you have any queries about this registration process.
