Told you it was going to rain some more! And seems like it will be another wet weekend! I remember reading a report a few years back where scientists suggested weekday pollution (caused mainly by commuter traffic) could cause a build up to a rotten Saturday’s and Sundays. I doubt anyone would contest the fact that Los Angeles roads are congested, is traffic the modern raindance?

It seems lots of you are planning trips abroad, as not only have we had several requests for our Air New Zealand discount codes but we have had an influx of enquiries on how to renew your British passport. In the good old days you could send it all off to the embassy in Washington D.C. The Foreign Office have now streamlined the application process so that all British nationals apply through the UK offices. Having used both the old and new systems you will be delighted to hear that not only is the current procedure faster but it is actually slightly cheaper too! Visit us at www.Britsin.LA for our “How to” guide. And for our exclusive Air New Zealand discounts, email ANZCodes@britin.la
Their is an awful lot of fun stuff going on within our Brits in LA community – The 24th Annual Queen Mary Scots Festival (February 18-19th) in Long Beach is proving to be a popular choice for a lot of you – make sure to look out for fellow Brits in LA Members, Lorne Cousin and Kieron Elliot who will be playing bagpipes and serving up Single Malt Scotch accordingly – Goldstar have great deals on tickets, ranging from Complimentary to $10, details found via this link https://tinyurl.com/Goldstar-Scots . Our featured Meet A Member James Longman has a complimentary screening of Iron Men coming up on March 4th. He has asked us to extend an invitation to you all, which may interest the three West Ham fans amongst you, (my mum being one of them!) Email him at longers1@gmail.com for further details. Don’t forget The 10th Annual Toscars are just a few sleeps away. The participants won’t let anyone rain on their parade ( February 22nd forecast is currently 50/50). Precipitation is part and parcel of Oscar/Toscar season; but that never seems to deter the Hollywood hopefuls when there is a shiny gold award up for grabs. Only a few tickets left – this event will sell out so visit Thetoscars.com to get yours today!
Our Tuesday Breakfast Club at Cecconi’s will run as normal, hope to see some of you there – feel free to drop me a line at eileen@britsin.la if you have any questions
Cheers
