Hi everyone!

I moved to Uppsala a month ago and am finishing my PhD long-distance (thus, not a student at Uppsala U). I'm eligible to work and while a part-time job would be nice, what I'm trying to find is a volunteer opportunity or some kind of club based on a hobby (soccer, singing, etc) in order to meet people. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! biggrin.gif

If you really want to do volunteering in Uppsala you should visit Volontärbyrån Uppsala which is located at Kungsängsgatan 74. They can be contacted at 0771 - 24 14 00 or info@volontarbyran.org.

You could contact Uppsala Squash Rackets Club

It says for potential new members to contact "Ulrika" and gives a hotmail e-mail

Hey There.

Ive been trying to get some people together for squash games in Uppsala. According to UTK (which is just down the road from me) they are putting on squash lessons in the new year but also would be great to have a few matches, if anyone fancies it shoot me a message as Im trying to get details.

http://www.facebook.com/jasondainter is my facebook page

Im probably a 'medium' when it comes to skill level, used to have lessons when I was younger so would like to play some people who are a bit of a challenge, but also I'm certainly not a pro!
