Thumbs up Brisbane and surrounds, meet up 10th November

OK, here goes - I am going to attempt to arrange a meet up!!

We are Rob 34 and Caroline 27. We have been in Oz for 4 weeks now and have settled into a lovely unit in Redcliffe, just North of Brisbane. The only thing missing is a social life!

We would love to meet up with others in the same boat for a drink and a chat.....

We are open to ideas on where and when but thought that for a starters, a Sunday would be good!

As a suggestion, Redcliffe itself is fab on a weekend. Beaches and parks a plenty and generally a nice place to 'get away from it all'!

So...who's up for it?

Hi,

We haven't been to any meets but I know that there is another lot of expats that meet in the Pig and Whistle pub (Eagle Street Pier) in the city every month or so. If you type Brisbane British Club into google it should come up.

Have fun!

Hmmmm, seems like there is some interest after all!

Was holding off responding in case no-one else did!

OK, folks.......

Lets make it, the weekend after Soapy's bash in GC on the 27th - the Saturday is good. How's that sound?

Open to all suggestions on a location - obviously somewhere kiddy friendly would be good.

Let us know your thoughts........
