HereNow OhWow Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hi Pat - Lesley and me(Dave) just came across your post and wonder if we might find common ground with members of your group who we assume are mostly younger families. We're just retired but fit, and have been in Kallangur for a year. Have family close by but missing friends. Finding it a bit difficult getting any sort of social life going here - maybe it's just the fact that we don't have work and workmates any more. Would be nice to meet expats just to get other people's views. Can we just turn up to the get together ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hello Lesley & Dave By no means is it just younger families: we have 30s people up to 60s people, so yes, you'd be very welcome. If you want more personal information, send me a PM (private message). Perhaps we can all contribute ideas for getting a social life going for you -they're a small but very welcoming bunch! It can be very daunting in the first couple of years (I remember that!) but time and determination will hopefully sort it out. See you there.

BYO (bring your own) everything: food, drinks, chairs. July meet had 11 families, so not too big to get to chat to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knsc Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Are you planing on having one these meet ups in December ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahb23 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Believe me...not planned this at all. Landlord issued us notice for dec but would rather get out and sorted ASAP than hang around waiting. Dissapointed can t make today. We could maybe meet up at the boat club / Morgan's for fish and chips or whatever in between next BBQ meet. Will let you know when things are bit settled. Have a great day.

PatW Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 No, the get-togethers are 3 monthly, so the next will be Sat 18 Jan at the Parkside Park/bbq area, Aurora Boulevard, North Lakes (behind Bounty Boulevard School). 2.30 til dark (usually because people have young children & they're ready to go come dark). BYO what you need (food, drinks, sunscreen and possibly chairs, although we usually get a shelter shed that has cover & a bbq table/benches). There's a free electric bbq at each shelter shed. Are you a motorbike fan?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 19 Oct has been & gone, so the next will be Saturday 18 January at the same place: Parkside Park/bbq area, Aurora Boulevard, North Lakes (behind Bounty Boulevard School). 2.30 til you have to go (and most go around dark 'cos a number have littlies). BYO what you need (food, drinks, chairs). There's usually a free electric bbq available, plus kids' play area and toilets. About 8-9 families came last week and we had a good natter.
