Rooksie, so sorry to hear about your TRA result. You know that everyone here will lend a hand to make sure you get through next time.

Neil.

RE: Wolves meet

Has anyone got anywhere organising a Wolverhampton get together?

We're free for the Oddfellows in Compton (5 mins from Wolverhampton, 20 mins from Telford) on Sunday evening - the place YamYam's suggested before.

Any takers?

Haven't heard of anything, but as we only live in Telford we would be up for it.

Hi Flip
We are hoping to go to Perth next year
We Live about 5 miles from Wolverhampton so would be keen on meeting up when can
We are off to visit Perth on the 8th April for a knackering 10 days.

We hope to be able to get the feel of the place abit but also do some diving but haven't told the kids that bit.

By the way does anyone have any good agents numbers as have just seen the bit about failing the TRA and dont want to get stuck with a dodgy agent!

Sounds like the 17th would be fun have fun all

Hi Nickie

A bit confused - does this mean you'll be able to make it on Sunday April 3?

Thought we'd make it about 7.30 to 8pm as we've got to get back from visiting family in Bolton.

We need interaction with like minded people as our family are frosty to our plans at the moment and we feel unable to speak openly about Oz, which is severly dampening our excitement.

So if anybody is out there with similar experiences and wants to have a bevvy and a chat make contact PLEASE

OUR SANITY DEPENDS ON YOU!!!
hiya yam yam i am in walsall just round the corner from willenhall my hubby and i and our 16 mnth old son are hoping to go out to sydney on a 457 visa have just had our xrays and waiting for son to have his meds. where abouts are u headed? hubby is sydney at the moment visiting his new employer am sooooo jealous as they are paying for everything and they have put him up in a fabulous apartment while i am stuck in wet miserable walsall. anytime you want to chat give me a shout at [email protected] am on most nights after 8 as hubby will be away for 6 weeks can't really go far with little one being in bed for 7.30 our family are quite up for us going i think they are just after the cheap holidays although my mum and dad will miss us i am only child and thomas is their 1st grandchild.

Sorry we didn't see you at the weekend. I've left the midlands meet thread cos it's too confusing with the Birmingham set.

Maybe we could get together with the Raindodgers when they return?

If you make a new posting for a meet in Telford and we can make it we'll be there.

Where are you going? When? Family or couple?

Hope all's well

Carolyn

Sounds good to get together with yourselves and the raindodgers when they get back.

If there is enough interest then maybe we could organise a telford or wolverhampton meet. Anywhere in that area would be good.
We are a family of 4, myself, mandy, and the lads, Jamie (14) and Lewis (11). All being well, and if the timelines are anything to go by, we want to be in Brisbane by the end of September. What about you?
