First thank you so much for joining and I hope this group will become
everything you may need. As with all new communities it will take some
time to build this into a stronge well communicating community. But
rest asured I have many successful communities under my belt and am
dedicated to this more than I have been with any of the others.

I am aiming this place at mainly native English speakers from anywhere
in the world, who are now living in Bogota and Colombia in general.
But feel free to join if you are not. Target is to have up to 100
active members in this group by the end of the Year with about 200-300
more as passive members. That is a high figure for a new community of
this sort. But I believe we can do it. ;)

I myself am born a raised In London UK, I have lived in many other
countries across Europe and am part German myself. I am married with a
wonderful Colombian lady and am planning to move to Bogotá next Year,
for a few Years to begin with. I have made many visits to Bogotá and
most parts of Colombia.

I would really really like to hear of any comments, complaints and/or
suggestions for our new community. The only way this place will be
succesful is if it's members partake in it's functioning. I really
need at least two people who would be able to take on moderator roles.
Basic tasks will be to approve groups posts held in pending statues.
As this group must not have have any SPAM. I will be posting a group
charter in time in so that everyone knows what is allowed and what
isn't.

In the long term I see this being a major hub for English speakers
living in Bogotá. It will be the number one place for local
information, eating out, nightlife, local events, renting, selling &
buying, tech advice, travel info, meetings, politics (friendly),
locasl businesses of interest and just general discussion.. Can think
of any more at the moment (please let us know if you have any
requests)...
