I have found out that there is an Australian show to be held at The Royal Highland Exhibition Center on 23-24 Feb.
We went to the Expo in Manchester in Oct, paid £15!!! each and didnt really find out anything we didnt already know.
What do you all think? A waste of time and money or worth going to. The center is quite big so I though there would be more stands and info for us. Now we have decided we are looking at removals, banks, pensions, the usual.
I suppose at worst, we will have a babysitter, so we could just treat it as a day out, just the 2 of us without someone shouting MUM. Doesn't happen very often!
I got a leaflet about the show with my Oz migration paper this week. It's not just for Oz, but also USA, NZ & Canada, so maybe that's why they need the big space! I've not been to an Expo before, so wouldn't know really what to expect. There are a few people on here who have been to some before, and I'm sure they'll let you know what they're like. I think it would be really usefull if we were at the start of the process and didn't know that much about it. But to be honest I think that I've learned more over the web through PIO, other forums, and websites than I think I would there. But it's personal choice! Would be nice to have a day away from the kids though, eh?! Personally though, it's a bit of a hike for us to travel down to, so I don't think we'll bother!
