Hi all! I moved here around six months ago from England for a new job. Im enjoying it here but have found it difficult to meet new people to socialise with! Am hoping this forum will help

Good luck. I moved to basel last week and, yeah, it's a bit grim at the moment.

Grim? Rubbish, at last something you could almost regard as weather.

Keep your eye out on the social events - if you want to meet people and like Indian food, then there's the monthly curry. The pub crawls are well worth trying too. Hope to see you both around some time!

Welcome to Basle! As Quark mentioned, we have a curry coming up. Please feelf ree to join us here Basel Curry- February 1st 2012!!! it is a great waz to meet some new people!

Welcome to Basel, CreativeAries! I have also been here for 6 months, having moved over after 8 years in the UK and love it. Agreed that meeting new people does take time and some effort...
Good luck!

There is a not so serious book group on 16 Jan - see the events calendar for details.

Welcome to Basel!
You really should join the curry evening, but if it seems too far from now, I am organizing a rather small Greek dinner event on 14th of January with some friends I met through EF.
If you are interested let me know and I will give you more details

Hi, thanks for the reply's everyone The Curry night sounds really good, will confirm if I will join this shortly.

Just to ask though is there a mix of ages that attend these?

Hi
Welcome to Basel and the Forum. Hope to see you at the curry event

Will try to join the Curry Night as well, same question here about the ages ;-)

The age is diverse: from early 20ies and up

Hi! I am new to Basel as well. I just arrived last week. As well as the forum, there is Centrepoint - a network of people of all ages who meet up for coffee during the day twice a week and also there is a party at night on January 20th. They are a nice bunch of people who are all very friendly and welcoming to new people. I went there last week and will definitely be getting involved. See you at the curry night!

i am also in basel a few times a week so feel free to PM me to meet for a quick beer etc.

Hi! thanks for that info i had heard of Centrepoint and was planning to join, great to see its a good way of meeting new people! Yes curry night sounds good!

so, when are the drinks? :P

looking forward for the next basel bar crawl

I'm planning on going to the Friday morning coffee at Centrepoint this week (I'll only know one person, so I'll be there to chat and meet people!). Here are the details:

Coffee Mornings
Date: Every Friday
Time: 10:30 -12:30
Place: Centrepoint
Who: All are welcome

Would you like to have fun and meet new people from different countries, find friends with similar interests, learn and share in what is happening at Centrepoint, in Basel and its surroundings? There is always a good group of people gathered in Centrepoint on Friday mornings for delightful cup of coffee or tea. Feel free to bring some goodies to share. Everyone is welcome!

Hi there's a few of us from this site that meet up regularly for beers so feel free to pm me and we can organise something. I've been here about 6 months as well and have been to some EF events. Also thinking of planning a skiing trip, haven't been yet and have no idea of the best resorts or anything like that but keen to try it soon so would be good to get some bodies together for that.

January seems to be a quiet time here and as @Phil_MCR says maybe a bit grim, but Fastnacht is coming up in February which is supposed to be a great event.

Welcome to Basel. I'd socialize but I'm not very social. Preferring instead to just stare at people on the tram.

Weren't you elsewhere in CH before?

And welcome to you too!
