Meets in Essex

Hammer · 14-10-2007, 02:48 PM

Thought we'd start a new thread as had no replies to post we left on end of first Essex meets thread We'd love, my oh(soexcited!) and I to go to the next meet. We have missed every one so far. We live in Wickford and have our Visa and are moving to the Coloudra area next summer with our 4 Late teenage kids. PIO and the aus mag is the only contact with our future life at mo and having to wait another 11 months with 1 foot already in Oz is torture. Especially when read posts from all you lucky people that are already out there.

I know it will soon come around but it's sharing the excitement of it all with others.
If a meet is getting arranged count us in.

hi all
we will be doing another meet but was looking for somewhere for kids that was free or cheap as there are quite a few kiddies.can have a bar reserved at the halfway house but people would have to turn up at roughly the same time not all through the afternoon as in the past.perhaps november if people are happy with that?

November is fine by us, our kids are all late teens and certainly would not be seen socialising with us incase god forbid, their mates might see them...............................

, so we,re happy with anywhere picked.
