FIRST SUTHERLAND/SOUTH SYDNEY MEET-UP
Calling all in Sutherland, Kirrawee, Gymea, Miranda, Caringbah, Sylvania, Menai, Cronulla, Como etc etc
Gymea Hotel (next to Gymea station) 2PM Saturday 29th March
http://www.gymeahotel.com.au/
After a few threads and posting by Britexpats in The Shire, I've decided to set a date and place for our first meet-up.
The Gymea Hotel is right next to the railway station on the Sutherland - Cronulla line and has a large car park at the rear. Kids are welcome in the lounge during the day and there's a large area to sit outside if its nice. The TAB is in a separate room, so it does not feel like you are sat in a betting shop. Meals/snacks are served. Taxi's are available from the rank outside the hotel.
The plan is just to have an informal get together over a beer or three and show that there is life beyond the CBD.
I hope that we can have a good afternoon and that we'll all make some new friends in this great part of the world.

Less than 2 weeks to go ... and it looks like there should be a good few of us, but come on the rest. We want to see you there!

Hi, we were down in the Shire 2 weeks ago when my mum was over on holiday. We were in Sydney so my wife took us round to where she grew up in Como.
Useless info but I think it's a lovely area. We're back on the Sunny Coast now and mother's back in Wales

Re: FIRST SUTHERLAND/SOUTH SYDNEY MEET-UP
Looking forward to seeing people tomorrow for our get together.
Me and the wife will be in Saints rugby T-Shirts. Her in a light blue one and me in a red and white one - probably the one I've got on in my little picture.

Re: FIRST SUTHERLAND/SOUTH SYDNEY MEET-UP
I think for the first one it was a pleasing start. I think we had 12 adults in all and plenty of kids! We had a good time and I hope that everybody else did.
The feeling is that we should do something again - perhaps in Cronulla this time - which would be great
