THANK YOU. Your membership is important to us.
Renew your BCT membership to continue benefitting from what the BCT and its community has to offer.
Have you attended our playgroups at The Clubhouse already? There are weekdays and weekend groups with lots of different topics as well as free play meet-ups that try to cater for every age and parents' schedule. Many of our interest groups also meet at The Clubhouse to combine social exchange and fun for their children and themselves. If you rather would like to meet members in your neighbourhood get in touch with our many local groups for play dates, coffee morning, stroller walks and more.
Our family events such as junior cycling or Halloween or the popular summer picnic are great fun not only for young children and the Nearly New Sales as well as our member courses and information talks are for many of our members the reason to renew their membership even with slightly older children.
Did you know that we offer peer-to-peer support to our members on different subjects related to pregnancy and parenting? This is especially helpful for those that do not want to discuss their personal stories on Social Media channels and value an exchange with a real person.
There are so many great reasons to stay a BCT member and rest assured your membership helps us to continue what a small group of inspired expats started over 40 years ago: Trying to be a home away from home by offering information and support in English to families and parents-to-be in Belgium.
"Now all three of my children are in school I don’t use the BCT social and support services as much. However, I still enjoy reading Small Talk and have joined the Lifers group, where you can get some very useful tips and information about living in Belgium. I have even attended the odd coffee morning, without children, especially when I know old friends are going to be there too."
