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 over 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' representative or visit the Coffee Morning page for more information.

The next BWC meeting at the British Embassy will be on Tuesday 9th September, at the start of the new 2008-9 expat year. **Please ensure that you are on the security list by Thursday 4th September.** This meeting will be an opportunity for you to meet new people and catch up with old friends; the sign-up meeting has been postponed to October. Please visit the Coffee Morning page for more information.

Membership Notice: Please visit the Membership & Contacts page if you would like more information on how to join the BWC and contact the Membership Secretary directly if you are a new BWC member and you haven't yet received any emails from us. Thank you!

...of British Residents with the British Embassy, Moscow

It is important to register at your Embassy when living abroad. If you are a British passport holder resident in Moscow, you can register online at https://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1078995027067 (or follow the link on the Foreign Office website to their "Online Consular Registration" page); you will need to create a user name and password to enter the site. Alternatively, you can register in person at the Embassy. The consulate asks you to keep your registration up-to-date, e.g. inform them of any change of address or phone number, and let them know if you are leaving the country permanently. It is important that registrations are renewed annually, preferably in January. If you fail to re-register, the Embassy will discontinue any registration that is more than one year out of date.

Note: This service is not related to the British Women's Club, so please contact the Embassy on 956 7200 if you have any queries about this registration process.
