Re: Gold Coast Christmas In July Expats Meet 2012
Just a reminder for next Saturday. Its the British expats meet on the Gold Coast. We hold a Christmas in July on the coldest month to try and make it feel a bit normal to everyone from the UK. Its a family day out that we have each year to welcome new and old expats to the coast. The day starts off with a Scotland v England football match at 12.
After the game we will award the trophy to the winners and Santa will pop in to hand out small gifts to the children.
We also have a face painter and a bouncy castle for the children.
During the day the tuck shop will be open for all to use. In the evening the club will supply free finger food to anyone who wants to make an evening of it. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun.
Come out and support your country!
The scotland team is a mix of Scots, Irish and welsh.
If you click on the link below it will have a map and directions to the football club.
Some of you might not know anyone there, but thats how it was for the rest of us in the beginning. The whole idea is to get chatting to anyone. You never know you might make friends for life, just like we did when we first went.
See you all there!

Re: Gold Coast Christmas In July Expats Meet 2012
Hi chaps...my husband moved over two weeks ago and it currently solo on the goldie until me and the kids arrive in a few weeks. He's feeling a bit over whelmed so I will suggest he comes along. So it's a soccer club in Southport is that right? 14th July 12pm?

Re: Gold Coast Christmas In July Expats Meet 2012
Anyone travelling down by train this weekend, plan to set off EARLY.
Queensland Rail in their wisdom have closed the line between Dutton Park and Varsity Lakes so there are NO TRAINS to the Gold Coast.
There is a poxy rail-bus alternative which they reckon adds an hour to the journey

Re: Gold Coast Christmas In July Expats Meet 2012
Its the whole weekend 
Dutton Park to Varsity Lakes, with a couple of stations totally shut, which the numbskulls inform me means the bus won't call there either 
I did ask about express buses but that brought a similar confused response, almost as if they couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a tour of 20 suburban railway stations
