Newbie to Sydney - Looking for Socialising and any Sports people to Run or Play Footy with

[iamdanaldridge]

Hello.

Have decided to quit the big smoke of london and have taken up a new job in Sydney.

Moving over in mid-feb with my partner but very much looking to socialise and build up a good friendship group.

Both very creative people - who's backgrounds are in Media and Fashion and looking to offset this with some socialising and some form of sport.

Keen footballer - who is trying to still be peter pan (have played a lot of indoor football), keen runner and likes to play squash.

Also interested in Boxing (although never actually done it other than watch Rocky in awe.

 

Up for a few beers, beats or general creative chat.

 

Any help, advice, or pointers would be greatly appreciative.

 

Many thanks

Dan

Hello and welcome.

 

Not in Sydney but hopefully someone will be along. Also it might be worth re posting this when you are actually in Aus or posting a little more round the forum so people get to 'know' you, iykwim and perhaps you'll get to know others. Also try our sister site, Life in Sydney http://www.sydneyforum.com/

If your looking for a good place to start with the sport side, head to the Andrew Boy Charlton Pool in the Botanic gardens. It's a beautiful outdoor 50m pool that also has running and biathlon, triathlon groups operating out of there. They have a nice cafe and a room I've seen used to Taekwondo or some other martial arts.

 

They also rent kayaks from there. Lovely setting, opposite Garden Island and close to Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross for a few beers after the exercise.

 

Have a good time.
