Guest lisaandnigel Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi Lisa and Nigel We went to the last Essex meet and it was great to meet up with other like minded people and chat about Oz. Our visit was a bit brief though as our kids 4 and 2 were starting to run riot a bit in the pub. It'll be great that there will be others around of a similar age. Sunsh1ne hi, yeah we are looking forward to it never been to one before. at least there seems to be lots of kids going of similar ages ah! see you there lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i've phoned the pub to let them know, and they said the food should be ok (not that everyone will be eating) but they may be a little short staff, but if we have to wait a little while for a drink, we are used to it.......... waiting for a visa, lol See you all tomorrow KP Nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
