Besides these regular meetings, there are several activities,
either for specific groups, or open to all:
|
| Book Club:
Once a month we read a book and meet to discuss our
thoughts on it. If you enjoy reading and reviewing books,
please join us. |
Creative
Writing:
The Creative Writing Group meets occasionally and also
functions as an e-group. See the products of our creative
writers in the Rangoli newsletter. |
English
Conversation:
This is an informal group, which will give any non-native
English speaker the opportunity to practice their English.
You do not have to be fluent in English. It is also
an opportunity to network and make friends. We usually
meet once per week directly after Thursday OWC coffee
mornings and have lunch in a nearby restaurant. We discuss
our backgrounds and our experiences with living in India,
as well as abroad. It is an opportunity for people to
ask questions concerning the English language, yet it
is not a formal grammar or English teaching session.
If you want comfortable place to practice English, we
would love to have you! (This group is currently looking for a coordinator) |
Horse Riding:
India presents many opportunities to try new things
that may be cost or time prohibitive back in our home
countries. Horse riding is one of those activities.
If you’re interested in pursuing a passion for
horse riding, please join us. The instructors are excellent,
offering classes for everyone from absolute beginners
to advanced riders. For children, there is also a popular
Pony Club that runs “Own a Pony” days and
“Kids Kamp” weekends. |
Lunch Bunch:
Each month club members have lunch together at an area
restaurant, discovering new hotspots and old Bangalore
secrets. Cuisines have ranged from regional Indian and
Japanese to Mediterranean and more. Join us as we taste
our way around Bangalore. Second Thursday of the month.
|
Bumps and Babies:
This group was created to help and support women who
are pregnant for the first time and moms who are expecting
again. This group is here to provide you with information
you may need or for answers you may be looking for.
|
Playgroups:
Playgroups meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the homes
of OWC members. If you have babies or pre-school children
and want to meet up with others in a similar situation,
this is an ideal opportunity.
|
Road Trip:
If you would like to explore interesting places
in and around the city, this is a great activity for
you. Every month we visit a different venue to see what
it has to offer and learn a little more about our city.
Previous trips have included specialty shops, spas,
hospitals, ashrams, and more. Third Wednesday of the
month. |
Sundowners:
This activity provides an excellent opportunity to relax
and meet new people. OWC members and their partners
gather twice a month for cocktails, light snacks, and/or
dinner. Join us to unwind and socialize at the end of
the week (and avail special OWC discounts on food and
beverages). Last Friday of the month. |
Professional
Women's Group:
We meet monthly during evening hours to accommodate
those members who may not be able to attend OWC gatherings
due to their work schedules. This is a great place to
network and reconnect with other professionals if you
are temporarily out of the working world due to your
Bangalore move. |
Other OWC
activities include:
Pet Club, Funky Friday, Cooking Club, Austin Bangalore, Community Services of Bangalore, Bible Study, Bridge, Craft Club, Wine Appreciation Club, Choir, Scrapbooking, Spanish/Latin Club and
more... |
