We will be taking the names of attendees that will be kept for a month and request all attendees to inform us if they have been exposed to corona or tested positive – this is to keep everyone safe and to to keep track of people in the event that we are asked by the Gesundheitsamt.

Report on the Leipzig Stammtisch 9th July

We had, I feel, a really successful first gathering. 11 people showed up, and perhaps a couple more would have been there, but they had trouble finding us.

We discussed the usual Brexit matters, but after a while we got some really good things on how people are feeling, what concerns them, and we even had some time to offer support to someone who is able to apply for permanent residency. A Migrationberater also attended and was helpful in offering advice and help both at the meeting and afterwards.

Some of the matters discussed were:

  • The various and different registrations required to both live in Germany and to get your Withdrawal Agreement rights before the end of June 2021. How this affects those with dual-nationality. The process for gaining permanent residency for those here after 31 December 2020;
  • Statuses as “Neubriten” vs. “Altbriten”. Do those with dual need to apply for this?
  • Family rights, leaving the country to care for relatives;
  • Scope of British in Germany;
  • Advocacy and raising issues at German/EU/UK level;Referring members to the British Embassy/Consulate for relevant matters;

and

  • Referring members to BME as Immigrationsberater for employment issues, duration of contracts, losing a job and subsequently applying for social security payments.

As an introduction it was good, and we are now voting on when to have our next one, potentially mid-August at the moment. Several people who couldn’t make it to the event this month have shown interest in coming to the next event.

I have some more plans to get the word out to more British people in the Leipzig area, such as speaking to the local English language newspaper, and I will be able to have a clearer view on that once the date for the next Stammtisch is set.

BiG Braunschweig group – meets for first time Thursday 20th

British in Braunschweig group meets for the first time on Thursday 20th February 

By Wendy Anne Kopisch (Organiser)  ** NOTE CHANGE OF DAY – 1 week later, same place, same time. 

What will we be talking about on Thursday 20th ?

That Brexit will probably not solve but rather exacerbate the very injustices it was supposed to solve?

That all the things for which Britain was respected the world over – not so much its former colonialism but rather its enduring politeness, grace in the event of setbacks, and diplomatic dexterity – have become hard to detect under the tirade of abuse from Farage & co?

That we made life decisions based on the assumption that the rights we had at birth would not suddenly be taken away from us by a vote in which many of us were not allowed to participate?

While all these thoughts have been with us a great deal over the past few weeks, months and years, and they are just as justified now as they were on that morning three and a half years ago, the focus on Thursday evening will be on looking as positively as possible to the immediate future.

Now that Brexit has happened, what next for Brits in Germany? What are the most important steps to take now? What do the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, currently in force until the end of the year, mean for us, and what happens after the end of 2020? We are fortunate and grateful that the German government has agreed generous and flexible conditions for Brits living here, and this will be the main topic on Thursday. Come and join us!

7 pm in the Rheinische Republik.

Looking forward to seeing you there!  Sign up here
