International club for cultural and social activities
for speakers of English
Please note that the international clubs are no longer part of the VHS and cannot use the 2nd floor rooms in Mecumstraße 10. Please pay careful attention, therefore, to the venues and start times of our next events and check again before your visit.
Here are the club events that are scheduled for spring 2026. We look forward to seeing you at our meetings.
We cannot accept card payments – cash only.
Poems crop up in all areas of the English-speaking world: in David Baldacci and Lee Child thrillers, in films and TV series, in journals and newspaper articles, Cardiff docks and even in the 2012 Olympic Village in London.
Martina R. Jones will present some of the UK's popular poems as voted for in a survey carried out by BBC Radio 4 in 1999. A bit of background information, an explanation of some of the vocabulary and then a reading by a famous actor or two, thanks to YouTube. And as a bonus, she'll present her favourite poem in both the German and English language.
Do you have one in your street? Has it been there too long?
