Belgaumites worldwide meet in respective towns

A deliberation just came in as to why not all the Belgaumites away from Belgaum can congregate and meet, exchange ideas or even share some thoughts in their respective current cities and countries.

There are Belgaumites spread all over the world, the proof the reach of this very small site AAB, which is read in 113 countries/territories & 1167 cities worldwide.

There might be Indian groups or city based groups in various countries, but here you could connect to a person from your home town and person from a home town is always dear, isn’t it.

What one could do is come and meet on a holiday monthly or bi-monthly and come closer to your home town. If you plan a get-together it could be highlighted on this blog so that more people from the area could join you.

This is just a thought; let me know more from you.

I have found the following people who have volunteered to collect and coordinate from their respective cities/countries.
