Re: Brisbane Expats Meet
Hi all,
I get the keys to my new home on the 5th, so this will be my first weekend as a house owner! If I can drag myself away from shopping for all the bits and pieces I need to get it up and running I might pop along. Might have Mum and possibly my new kiwi man with me....
See ya all soon (maybe!)

Chairs, drinks and pre-prepared food can be a good option.

11am, I think mate!
I'd imagine we're to take chairs, eskies full of drinks and either sangers or BBQ materials. Unless anyone says differently, that's the way we'll be going at any rate!

Re: Brisbane Expats Meet
PR, I think we had more the first time & close to it the second ... you should have seen us all on the ferries over to Coochimudlo .
Gazza, the flagg would be great.
Andrew, my mind is reeling at the thought of what the logo might be .
Everyone with kids - dont forget their swimmers.

Lordy, all sounds fun. We should have been there in Nov - but still stuck in Scotland! BAH! Please have another in a few months, and you can count us in then! Have been on and off here periodically for a while but I guess you only really meet people when you can put a face to an avitar as it were! Have fun guys!
