I actually thought you guys were away just now!!
Well it might just be that weekend, we shall just go with the flow and see what the concensus is, not much feedback tonight though!!

Did you get your meds done?

Bill

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Not yet, got the Police Checks out of the way though, Meds yet to be done - waiting for paperwork from Agent. Still have no acknowledgement from DIMIA that they received our application so we are hoping it has not gone astray since it was signed for (we know the courier delivered it).

That weekend we would have greatful grandparents to babysit cos they wont have seen him for 4 weeks.

Hi

We'd be up for it ! Heading to Geelong, Melbourne in October so would be nice to see how fellow Aberdonians are getting on.

My husband works offshore, two weeks on, two weeks off, but if he's here we'll come along.

Bill

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Hi Bill,

sorry but I will be offshore then so count us out, hope to make the next one

Brian :beer:

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Hi Bill

Yes, we got our SIR visa in January but not planning on heading out until October (work committments etc). Did you just get your visa granted today?? If so CONGRATULATIONS !! :)

Unfortunately 14th May won't be good for us but I'll keep checking in case it changes.

Judy

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

I think the date will change, try and suit everyone if we can.

I'm sure the thread will be on the go again soon..... :confused:

Bill

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Maybe the end of May, that will hopefully catch everybody with Visa's heading out in June/July (you know who you are!)

Denise & Lee

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Hi, We will hopefully be in Oz, but if not we will be there might even stay over.
Must make sure the date suits the boys from Arbroath after all they are entertainment on their own.... Dont take offence boys pleeeeease.

Elaine

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Dont know what you mean Elaine but Ill take it as a compliment, end of may would suit me and most likely garry(if he is still here)

Brian :beer: :beer:

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Hi all,

hopefully we will be leaving in June sometime, havent heard about the visa yet but the house is up for sale (had lots of viewers and its only been on for 5 days) so hopefully we will sell without too much hassle. had our police checks and medicals done in antiscipation so all we wait on is the requests etc

Brian(the guid lookin wan) :beer: :beer:

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Nice one Brian, good luck with the house sale!!

We'll hopefully get a night out sorted before yous go.

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Any firm dates yet then ?

Judy

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Hi guys

First of all congratulations to Bill & Linz absolutely fantastic news, very pleased for you.

We havent been on for a while - things are a bit hectic organising things, selling the business the usual will try and make the next meet but not promising anything. Would definitely be good to catch up with everyone again.

regards

atticus

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Cheers Atticus

Just waiting for the passport requests so it makes it a bit more real than a phone call!!

Hope everything is going smoothly your end. :scared:

Hopefully we can have a get together before we all go but it may be easier to organise it in Brissy!!

Bill

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Oh no, we wont make it to Brisbane!

Denise

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Dont worry denise we are also going to other side WA, so lets just say we'll meet them half way. :scared:

On top of 'Uluru' armed with a bag of 'rowies' for an early breakfast!!! :D Do you know if you can Barbeque them!!! :p

Cheers

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Would imagine you could, will check with Lee cos he barbeque's everything including sausage rolls...

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Dont know about bbq-ing butteries, give me a nice kangaroo steak any day!! ;)

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Hi Guys,

We wont manage the next meet, our flights are booked for the 21st April but hope you all get to your destinations soon and I take this opportunity to welcome any of you over to Melbourne.
It is a great feeling when the visa arrives but the initial kick is when you book the packers and book the flights. There is so much to do and not enough hours in the day.

Good luck

Brian & Elaine

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Hi all

We have all been very quiet lately, just thought i'd get the thread going again and see what your all up to :confused:

We have a closing date on the house for 12.00 Friday the 1st april, fingers crossed :scared:

Are we going to get a meet organised or not???

Bill :D

Re: ABERDEEN Meet ~ April
 

Hi

We've booked our flights.......5th October to Melbourne. Seems like ages away but as my list of things to do is getting longer by the day we'll probably need as much time as we can, but will probably still be rushing towards the end.

Fingers crossed you get a good offer for your house today. We're just going to rent ours out.

Definitely up for a meet, would be great to share experiences. We'll try and fit in with everyone else, but Ronnie works a 2 week on/2 week off rota offshore and has just gone away today.

I'll keep an eye on the thread to see what dates come up.

Judy
