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.
All other parts of the UK have their groups, what about us Welsh! Or are we just too lazy to get ourselves organised? Probarly!
Living up in the Northern Beaches, love to meet up with any Welsh, or anyone else for that matter.
Married, 2 young daughters, wife's an Aussie, been here 6 months, don't know too many people, give us a shout and let's see what we can get organised.
Gday Butt
Sorry we're not in Sydney but just wanted to say hi to a fellow bridgend lad.

Hi Bridgend Lad.
We are in Melbourne - but my husband is Welsh and I'm an Aussy. We actually lived in Bridgend for a while. My husband is originally from Pembrokeshire and my husband's brother has lived in Bridgend all his married life - he is a policeman there (..its a small world, you might even know him!). We've been back here for the last 2 1/2 years but have never met any Welsh in Melbourne so if you are visiting Melbourne let us know. We only live 10 minutes out of the city.
(I actually started a thread under 'Victoria' titled 'welsh in Melbourne'..there are a couple of replies from places other than Melbourne)

Hey Bridgend Lad,
I am Welsh (Carmarthen girl) AND living in the North Shore (St Ives), been here just three weeks, still getting organised. I have a couple of Welsh contacts who are due to come out to Sydney in the near future too!! And there was me thinking I was the only one!!
Must arrange a meet, we have 4 kids, 11, 9, 5 and 2, three boys & a girl.
Where are you living in the Northern Beaches?
Drop me a pm if you like and we can try to arrange something.
Chat soon,
Wendy
