Trolley Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 We have been living(renting) in Narangba for the past 4 months as I have a job over here now and finding it very difficult to meet people socially outside of work colleagues that I know. I appreciate it is early days for us living out here but it would be good to make some friends early if possible? We have a teenage daughter who is starting to settle into school life now and also making some friends. Are there any other fellow poms that would like to meet up for a chat or in a similar situation to us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hello all OH & I arrange 3 monthly get-togethers in a park in North Lakes. The next will be Saturday 11 July, 2pm til you have to go, at Parkside Park/bbq area, Aurora Boulevard, North Lakes. BYO food, drinks, etc. There are free electric bbqs, play equipment, half-pipe skate bowl, off-leash dog area & a huge playing field for kicking a ball. We usually get about 10 families (with & without children) so enough people to have a chat to without feeling swamped. You'd be very welcome!

Barbara and myself (Pete) are returning to Australia in November after two cold years in the UK and will be settling in the Narangba/Burpengary/North Lakes subject to finding a suitable rental. We are both retired but active and would like to meet up with other similar expats or locals for friendship/coffee/whatever or join a group such as yours if possible. If possible can we contact you after our arrival with a view to joining your get together as this would be a great way to integrate we feel.

petercgee Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hi Angela and Steve, thanks for your post. We won't be in Brizzy until late November but certainly we would like to meet up either via Pat's monthly meets or just to chill out somewhere. We are staying in the CBD area for 2 nights on the 23rd and 24th November before doing an Airbnb in the Kallangur area as we were thinking of locating somewhere in the Northern Suburbs, renting that is. We are open to suggestions however if you feel other areas are worth considering. Do you have an e-mail or contact telephone number which we could contact you on nearer our arrival time please. Thanks once again, Pete and Barbara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
