"As a former member now relocated back to the USA, I enjoyed seeing your website and have already passed the link on to my husband's co-worker who is relocating. It was fun to see the photos and remember how much fun I had. Newcomers to Chester was a lifeline for me. Thanks for being there. I had a reunion at my home a few months ago with two other Newcomers who became my friends there. Although we have all been back to the States for 3-5 years and we are widely spread out (Arizona, Kentucky and New Jersey), we have kept in touch by email and phone. Getting together again after five years was a real treat and we picked up right where we left off. Wishing you continued success".

"The website looks great! I sent the address to friends and relatives. Wonderful job! All of you can be proud of the job you are doing with that and making lives easier for us other newcomers, even if for a short time, like me. Newcomers to Chester very much enriched my stay. Feel bad that I wasn't there long enough to give back in some way"

“Just a few years ago, I found myself relocated from the USA to Chester. My husband became very busy with his new job and my children with their new schools. That would have been about the time when I could have drowned myself in “homesickness”. Instead, I was greeted by the warmth of a NTC member and was whisked away to my first NTC coffee morning. By the end of that Meeting, I had met many welcoming members, all who once were in my situation, learnt much about Chester and left with a diary full of dates for the month’s events. NTC became my “lifeline” to Chester and many friendships”.

“ I was picked-up from the hotel to attend a NTC coffee morning during a pre-visit to Chester. Besides meeting up with lots of very nice people, was also asked to volunteer in the NTC committee, which I very happily accepted. Having all this in place a couple of months prior to arrival in Chester was very heartwarming, as it means not arriving “stone-cold”. Looking around for interaction opportunities, I definitely can say that NTC is the only group in the Chester area with a diverse lot of people of differing ages, nationalities and interests in which one can find a friend, if not many friends. I would have found it hard to live here without NTC support”.
