Socialising & Get TogethersIf you're looking to meet up with like minded people emigrating to Oz or want to arrange an event in Oz, please post details here.
Hi to all the Yorkies!
Got to agree had a fantastic day and night and it was good to meet our fellow migrants!!
Great to meet you all and hope everything goes well for you.
Big thanks to Abi & Dan for the lift and hopefully we'll all be able to have another happy gathering in the near future!!!
Mark and Ginny
Well done Karen!
Really didn't know what to expect. Nigel, OH, initially thought I was being very sad dragging him off to meet people off the internet... think he was expecting peodophiles and wife swapping. He soon got into the swing (pardon pun).
He was pleasantly surprised and conceeded that it was a well worth exercise! Everyone we met were lovely, normal, down to earth folk! (not sure about Luan ... only joking love...you know what i really think about you!)
The time passed very quickly and, like many of you, sorry didn't get to meet more of you. Next time will consider making a weekend of it (that's if Doormouse 12 can squeeze another 2 in?)
Didn't meet anyone going to suburbs of Sydney or Central Coast... please give us a shout if there were.
Anyway, great to meet you all. Thanks Karen.... Enjoyed Steve's speech... to the point and from the heart! What a nice bloke.
Ditto to all that's already been said! What an excellent weekend! Robert too was a bit doubtful about me dragging him the 336 miles down there to meet a bunch of nutters off the internet, but he really enjoyed himself...said he ain't laughted so much in ages! Well, IMO the reason the whole weekend was such a success was definetly the people there! What a fantastic bunch you are! And as has already been said by many others, sorry if we didnt get a chance to talk to everyone! Too many people, too little time! And the time did fly by!
Any one else think that maybe Steve had had too many E-numbers that weekend?! That speech will go down in history! Steve, you're such a star! And yes, as you were so well behaved, I'll forgive you for the trouble you've caused! lol! Just dont do it again!! Or next time the Angels will get revenge!!!
Oh, and I'm sure we could make it the Dormouse 14,16, 18....whatever! Oh, I so miss you lot already!!! Can't wait to see you again!!
I'm gonna try to download some pics this afternoon, once I've worked out how to reduce the size! So keep a look out for some of the remaining evidence!
Bring on the next meet!
