Just a final update for tomorrows meet at the Castlewood - just to let you know that the Castlewood will be available from 11.30am tomorrow morning - so dont rush down for 11.00 if its raining you might get a bit wet!
For the record - the address again is:
Castlewood Brewers Fayre
Carter Lane East
South Normanton
Alfreton
DE55 2EH
Its just off Junction 28 M1, take the turn off for A38 Mansfield, turn immediately left and you will see the entrance to the Castlewood on your right. Don't forget your car park exit code on the way out.
I have only just seen this thread...we are in Mansfield so just down the road from the Castlewood. Unfortunately, we won't be able to make it tomorrow. Hope you all have a great time and fingers crossed we will make it to the next one!!

Sorry it's short notice but we won't be able to come tomorrow.
We are just home from visiting my folks in Northampton and need to go back there tomorrow - Dad poorly part way through chemo. Feel guilty enough we are still contemplating going to oz with him not yet fixed.
Anyway, hope all have a good time and hope to meet you another day instead!
Sorry we weren't able to make it yesterday but Paul had to work. I really meant to let you know but things went a little manic end of the week. Sorry.
Hope the meet went off ok. Really gutted to have missed it. Had been looking forward to meeting people and catching up on their stories and having a good moan about length of time DIAC/Adelaide taking to acknowledge things and get things moving with people who would understand what it is like.
Never mind, hopefully there will be another meet before we go (not difficult at this rate!) and maybe next time it could be a little closer - maybe Coventry way as there seem to be quite a few of you guys from this area.
Just had some good news from the Queensland Nursing Council. They're currently processing 7th May UK applicants. Mine went in on 13th May, so may get it by end of week, fingers crossed!!
Once this is done, will submit it to DIAC and visa will hopefully be granted, WHIPPEEE!
Will keep you informed. Anyone going to Brisbane? Would love to hear from you and keep in touch, will hopefully be there in the next 8 weeks or before now.
