New: Gatherings and events in Belize

Hi,

Would you like to have a coffee, organize a dinner or find people for activities in Belize?

To help you meet people and find outings in Belize, we launched a Gatherings and Events section in Belize: you can now follow what's going on in your area and make the most of your time off.

You can also create events and organize a gathering with the Expat.com members.

How to create a gathering?

On the Events in Belize page, click on “Post an event”.
Fill in the form with the details related to the gathering: date, place, hour… and post your event.

It's now time to invite the other members! You can opt for a public event or a private one (Invitation or Invitation plus).

To send invites, click on “Invite friends” on your event page and select who you wish to invite.

Get informed of who is coming through this page and get in touch with the other members or add pictures of the events in the comments.

A photo album dedicated to the event will then be created.

What do you think of this new feature?

Thanks,

Julien

This is a great idea for Belize. Unfortunately many events are not widely publicized in news papers until they have happened and are reported on. Partly because there is no community calendar in our local weekly newspaper and partly because like most news here it travels by word of mouth. If you are new and don't have an ear to the ground you may not hear about events.

I encourage everyone to try and list local events. It will help new expats to get involved as well as help the organizations holding events.
