Meets
I keep hearing about the North Meets- are these organised through a professional company or do you just meet up yourselfs? We live in the South and its too far to go to the North does anyone know of a Meet in the South? May be if there is not one we could organise it between ourselves - we are going to Adelaide in September this year and would love to meet with anyone else who is going!!

No they arent organised through professional companies, only us popping into a pub and asking if there is some space we can use. We had a nightmare organising the manchester meet as the managers of the brewers fayre were rude and unhelpful. We had to commondere (sorry not sure spelling) the conservatory. Then when went to organise another one, they were even more awkward.
We tend to organise them within a certain vacinity and anyone is welcome. If you want to organise one, send out a thread. If its near a motorway(ish) it is more accessable for more people. Plus its easier if there are a couple of you organising it. Lacey21 and I do the organising and Sleeping Beauty and L-j helped us out.
We had info packs, t-shirts with our avatars on (made by lace),oz flags up, oz hats.. all bits and bats..went really well and made some good friends. Half of them now have visas or CO's, some are out of the country and its even nicer to hear how they are goin.
anyway, good luck with organising one. You will be surprised where people come from to attend.

Re: Meets
Thanks for your replies, its so nice to talk to people in the situation. Its not the same just talking to your friends, they don't know what you are really going through. Yes we get the papers, we've got books you name it we have been looking. I'm a bit of an organiser so I think I will organise a Meet. Thanks again, love talking.
