The A.S.S. was founded in Stuttgart in the roaring 1970s. This was the time when the town was crowded with lots of English and American people, forced to leave their natural habitat to seek employment abroad, desperate for friendly folks with the same longing for Tea, Fish´n Chips, McDonalds, etc; and the same mortal fear of Kehrwoche, Brezeln, Maultaschen, and Württemberger Wein.
Since then the A.S.S. provides a chance of meeting people from all over the world (including Germany) in an informal way. We have two regular meetings per month in various restaurants and several seasonal occasions, most notably a barbeque party and a "Weekend Away". Bowling sessions are also part of our program. Day trips to "Stuttgarter Events" are organized if enough people are interested.
Our main social event of the year is the Christmas party ... the (only) chance to wear a tie...
The A.S.S. is a very open club with a few regulars and many guests joining only for a year or for however long they stay in Stuttgart. So we would like to welcome anyone brave enough for an evening of english conversation to come to one of our meetings and find out whether you like us. We are always pleased to see new faces and eager to help anyone new in Stuttgart around the main traps.
Some of our Special Events are highlighted below:

All
meetings start at 6:30 pm, if
not stated otherwise.
Wednesday, 11th January Meeting at the Brauhaus (NEW!), Bolzstr. 10, S-Bahn Hauptbahnhof
It is a new place, rather modern, but with good beer and food.
Thursday, 26th January Meeting at the Arche, Bärenstr. 2 (opposite the Markthalle)

Saturday, 11th February Potluck and General Meeting (Members and invited guests only)
We, Christina and Günther, invite you to a potluck at our place (Begonienweg 1, just opposite from the S-Bahn stop S2+S3 Sommerrain). As usual with Potlucks, everyone should bring some food to be shared all around - the drinks and the company are free. We´ll start from 3 pm onwards. For the preparations we absolutely MUST know how many are coming – so please let us know well in advance if you intend to come. People who show up without timely announcement may get no chair and (worse) no drinks.
For the General Meeting we would like all of you to address your opinions about the club, possible improvements, or other things you have on your mind. If you cannot come, please feel free to write us any proposals you have. The agenda together with the account is attached.
Thursday, 23th February Meeting at the Brauhaus (NEW!), Bolzstr. 10, S-Bahn Hauptbahnhof
Lets try it also on a Thursday.
Wednesday, 7th March Meeting at Aspendos, Neckarstr. 98
