Post subject: Social groups

I am new to Shanghai, can anyone help me get involved in the expat society? Are there any ladies clubs? ladies sports? or general good groups?

First off, welcome to Shanghai and ShanghaiExpat!

There are many expat based groups here as well as other groups that have alot of expat participation. My suggestion is to first take a look through the site, especially these forums as there is alot of dynamic info that flows through it. ShanghaiExpat itself sponsors and hosts a few events but other groups you may also want to look at include Community Center Shanghai. there are several ladies groups around and i am sure those involved will also chime in as several members ofthose groups are on this site as well.

Anyhow, look thru the site and feel free to come back and ask more specific questions as well! AND youa re welcoem to come by the expat mixers or coffee meetings listed in our events pages!

Cheers!

WELCOME TO SHANGHAI !!

You will find that your Consulate will have either a business group/chamber and/or social group so maybe you can contact them.

As mentioned above, there are plenty of events and some groups on this site. Shanghaiexpat organises a mixer every Wednesday at Malone's Bar and you'd be made to feel most welcome. You'll find the details on this.

I am not sure of what your nationality is but here are some women’s groups I know of:

American Women's Club of Shanghai
http://www.awcshanghai.org/index.html

Brits Abroad
britsabroad57@hotmail.com

Australian Women’s Group
awsgshanghai@hotmail.com

Expatriate Professional Association
http://www.epws-shanghai.org/

There’s a large general expat group here too that holds a lot of events.
Shanghai Expatriate Association (SEA)
http://www.seashanghai.org/
seashanghai@yahoo.com

You'll find that you make friends very easily and quickly here.

Enjoy!
