british expats meetings?
Hiya!
I have moved to Rangiora in New Zealand 12 weeks ago and am having problems getting integrated. Does anyone know of a british expat club or anything in thats sort of area that meets up for a chat?
At the moment I am missing my mates very much and am needing to make some here, so to keep me from returning back to uk!
cheers,
Deb

Can't help much cos I'm in Brisbane, but try posting the name of the town in the thread title - there may be someone near you.
We had an Expats meet up the Sunshine Coast recently, and someone put up a notice in the local shop.......might be worth a go?
Good luck

Hiya Louisa
If you just start a thread about an Expats meet, you'll be surprised how many people will respond... someone just has to start the ball rolling and suggest some venues and possible dates.
Good luck!

Its true, the first one we ever did was just an experiment suggesting "Brighton meet" and I think we filled the pub!! Put the place or area in the title, suggest a few dates and locations, and you''ll hopefully be surprised at the response
Try and think of somewhere child-friendly - in Brighton we used a pub with a huge kids play area, and over here we use parks with bbqs. That way people can be as sociable as they want to be, and the kids are happy too!!
