TBPA

Welcome to the TBPA Home Page! If you’ve found us, you are probably interested in joining an organization that helps you celebrate your British heritage; and keeps you in touch with those roots. Or perhaps you just want to hear a familiar voice and share a “cuppa”. We can do all that for you!!
We are a diverse organization (both male and female - no age limitations) of British birth AND heritage. Go to our “History” page to read how we got started. Some of our members are original war brides, their spouses; some of us are their children & grandchildren. But we are also made up of Brits who have moved to the USA for work – either permanently or just here temporarily or we are of British “heritage” and want to celebrate those British roots.

OUR PURPOSE AND AIMS: Are to provide fellowship to our members, to offer other forms of support and information when members have questions or concerns about travel, immigration, etc.; and to foster Anglo-American relationships and continue TBPA as a permanent link with our British heritage. Of course we do all this by enjoying social fellowship and activities celebrating our British heritage – like dart & cricket matches, Guy Fawkes Bonfire night, soccer matches, fish & chips night, Burns night, Family Picnics, the Queen’s birthday – we are always looking to celebrate and have a laugh over a ‘cuppa or pint’ together.We offer membership in Branches (local clubs) and Areas (state designations) in the USA from coast to coast. The Branches meet more regularly. Areas generally have meetings in the spring and fall when all the Branches in their Area come together to meet and renew old acquaintances and make new friends.We do offer a Postal membership for those who cannot travel to a local Branch because of distance, etc; but want to have TBPA membership and receive the association’s magazine. Of course, you can form a Branch right in your hometown if you have 5 people of British “heritage” (male or female) who would like to start one. We would be all to happy to help you get started if you are interested in forming your own Branch.

Both TBPA memberships (General & Postal) entitle you to attend any and all TBPA functions including our Biennial National Convention. Our next convention will be in Providence, Rhode Island in 2008. Watch our web site for more details concerning the upcoming convention. These conventions give members and their guests an opportunityto get reacquainted, make new friends and just have fun."

And trust me, we do have fun!!!!

The TOGETHER AGAIN magazine is published 6 times a year for our members and contains articles pertaining to items of interest about British news, history, places of interest, recommendations for B & B’s in the UK, plus a variety of other subjects; and it also keeps members informed on new happenings in the association at national, area and branch levels.

On our web site the “Other Sites” page offers links to a variety of other subjects including local UK newspapers, UK embassies, the latest news from across the pond; and food vendors from whom you can order all those sweets and savories we crave and love. The web site also offers any one a connection via “We’ll Meet Again” to contact friends and/or relatives who you’ve lost contact and our Chat Room to post enquires or information and maybe find an email Pen Pal. CHECK THEM OUT!!!!!

I hope I have tickled your curiosity and we’ll see you at one of our meetings – it’s a great opportunity to meet your fellow “Brits” and have a chat over a ‘cuppa’. Who knows, you may find someone from your old hometown! Or perhaps we can be your “Home Away From Home” – a British family here in the USA or help you connect and celebrate your “British Roots.” Why not join TBPA for that FUN and FRIENDSHIP?
