ginger Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi all me (30), my wife (30) and kids (7, 6 and 2) have recently moved from the UK (Hull - Yorkshire) and we are wondering how you actually start to build a friend network. Back home we have left some great friends behind but did expect to meet people here. The kids go to Coombabah school but the parents don't hang around the playground like back home so bonds are hard to build. We have had quick chats in supermarkets but that was when were at a friends in Robina. Any advise or even people who feel like they are in a similar boat could get in touch. PS - I feel like a total tw@t for having to do this haha Ginger......or just call me Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r4v7 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi Rob, we live in Paradise Point, so not far from you. We only arrived in July and are keen to make friends. We have 2 boys age 2 and 10 months. If you fancy meeting up, give us a shout. Vic P.S. You don't play golf do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissofthegypsy Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Im on the broadwater in labrador and been herer two years from cannock, just outside brum. Play golf when I get chance although normally about the 95-100 mark round most courses. Glad to meet up for a beer, chat or whatever, my missus is from Tazzy so can talk to the women at the same time as men with her other head (only kidding, seems to make all the kiwis laugh) Cheers Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
