Jit7 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi Everyone I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas! The last meet up at Kangaroo Cliffs was a great success as we met some lovely people. It was great to talk about similar experiences and just get to know one another to build that network of friends. So, its time to meet up again.... The next meet up is on SUNDAY 6TH JANUARY at the Southbank/City Beach at 1pm for a picnic. We will be around the grassy area near the kids water play area. So nearby activities are the beach and childrens playground. I believe the Surf Club is just next door. There are loads of cafes, restaurants, dessert/ice cream places close by too. I think there is parking but you will need to pay. Alternatively, you could park a bit further down (Kangaroo Cliffs) for free. The free city hopper (ferry) stops at Southbank 3 which is across the river from North Quay. Or simply walk across the bridge from the city (Victoria or Goodwill) which will bring you to the Southbank. There are limited BBQ's there so bring some picnic food. This time there are lots of things for kids but I forgot last time as we don't have kids yet (sorry). Some of you know what I look like but I will have my Olympic Union Jack Towel draped over something. I will try to get hubby to wear a Pommy top again. Any questions, send me a message. Please post if you are coming so I can look out for you. I hope to see you there Jitixa x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any 11/12 years meeting up?? as daughter has not made much friends with it been summer hols here. I am Irish and my partner is Welsh. We lived in the u.k. (scotland for 10 years). Hi Hubby and I arrived at the end of October so not much longer than you. Where abouts are you living? How are you finding it so far? We are settling in OK but really missing family. It will get easier I guess. However, we're enjoying exploring and really enjoying the weather!! I only posted this yesterday so not sure on numbers yet. However I do know there is a 5 year old coming (doesn't really help you though). There was a family that came last time that had daughters a few years older than yours. Hopefully they can make it too. They are from Scotland. However, try to come along if you can as it would be nice to meet. I will let you know if I get any messages from families with kids your daughters age. Hope to see you on Sunday Jitixa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDSON 4 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hi We will be coming on Sunday. Amy is definately coming and Sarah is hoping to come. The kids will be bringing their swimming stuff too. Amy is 14 and loves company and is looking forward to meeting your daughter. They managed to start school as soon as we arrived in October so it made a big diffrfence with meeting people before the summer holidays. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Nats Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Good stuff. So I'm looking for a Union Jack Olympic beach towel then? Failing that if I suspect anyone should I just shout out "Jitixa , Morag, George, Tim & Pam"?? hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jit7 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi Nats Really pleased you are going to join us. Hopefully you will spot the towel but I will listen out for someone shouting our names lol. Looking forward to seeing you all x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GeorgeD Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'll be heading in to the city soon...we went down to Surfer's Paradise for breakfast. My wife needs to go straight to work so she won't make it...but I need to get our dog out and about, so he's coming with me! I'll have him on his lead and I'll put his little muzzle on (he has a habit of licking children which bizarrely some of them don't like!) His picture is my avatar. We'll see you all there.

Nats Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So sorry, doesn't look like we're going to make this one. Chris still at work! Had I known he'd be held up this long I could have come myself! Have fun today, hopefully see you all at the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
