Guest wrangers Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 What about The Darlaston Inn on the A34 between junction 14 and 15 of m6, stafford and stoke. It has facilities, a wacky i think, for the kids and it does the 2 for 1 meals. Easy to get to. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaniaColin Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hi Tania, The pub/travel lodge is called The Castlewood - it immediately off Junc 28 MI. It have an excellent play room for kids inside and out and is quite safe and plenty of room for the adults too. You can get a drink and/or meals at reasonable prices. I'm not sure if there is a website - but as it's not far from here I can pop in and ask any questions that arise if everyone decides to choose it. Cheers Annie Hi Guys just wondering if there is anyone else interested in the above meet-up it is on the 22nd June at around 11-11.30 it would be great to see as many people as posible so we can compare notes and have a moan how long our visas are taking. Please try to make it, pop a post on and then Annie can let The Castlewood know how many approx there is. Don't forget pink caronations or stickers or flags. :jiggy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbane or bust Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Well done for organising this event. There will be 2 of us as we are leaving the children with friends. We have not told them or our families yet about emigrating and know that if the children find out, then everyone will know. Look forward to meeting everybody.

Guest wrangers Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 That sounds good, how old are your kids then? Mine have just left Alleynes, two boys, one 18, one 16. My husband is a plasterer and tiler and i'm a midwife at walsall. What sort of visa have you applied for and where are you hoping to live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ms_Fi Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 My son is in year 7, and my girls in year 5 and year 2. We're moving to the Newcastle (NSW) area in 2010 when I graduate. My OH is Australian so we're going out on a spousal visa. We're really excited and can't wait. We were planning on going out for a month next Easter but we've put that off till the summer holidays and we're going to go for 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
