S.T.U.D.S. (SPOUSES TRAILING UNDER DURESS SUCCESSFULLY)
STUDS BRUSSELS is a casual, multinational group of males, most trailing spouses in Belgium because of their wives' jobs. We are hardly an organization in the formal sense - no constitution or bylaws, no committees. There are few events actually organized by STUDS - a weekly brunch, a monthly luncheon and winter ball. The essence is networking and such events as happen by tradition or which individual members propose.
The primary benefits of the organization are socializing in English (although many members are not from English-speaking countries), exchanging hints on life in Brussels, and finding others with similar interests. Major interest areas are sports, history, new technologies, literature, travel, exploring Belgium and environs and more... For some members, this is the first time to be the trailing spouse and/or Mr Mom and/or living outside the homeland. For them, STUDS provides an affinity group of kindred souls. Alumni of STUDS Brussels are scattered around the world, and many remain in touch.
drop an email to find out where and when, if you would like to attend the weekly brunch. all you need to qualify is the ability to have a drink or two and some degree of proficiancy in bulls*#t of some kind.
