Hiya

We are due to come out in Aug (Lauren just turned 4, and George who is just gone 15 months), and must admit am getting nervous about meeting people out there, is it as easy as people make out or is it really quite difficult?
I would love to meet up once we are out there, but all depends on where we would end settling of course, but if nothing else there are always nights out

Hi

Would love to meet up when you get here, I know its a bit scary at first and its always nice to speak to someone who's been here for a while just to tell you where to shop and stuff!!

My youngest is 16months old, I think I found it more difficult to meet people because I'm working as all the mothers groups and playgroups are during the week, I did join one when I first started and met a couple of people and one really good friend so they are a good start when you get here. The place where you get kiddies check ups and stuff is called maternal health care nurse and she will put you in touch with a group of mums with kids the same age.
Any idea where you will be living? If you need any advice or want to ask any questions just give me a shout.

Hi all,

I'm coming to Melbourne late August and keen to meet up at some stage.

Should be flying 22nd August and on a 4-year TR.

Cheers

There are several Whites Downunder who live in Melbourne. We used to listen to North End matches live on the internet a few years ago; I'll see if I can trace my World Wide Whites membership details and come up with some contact numbers for you. Whatever you do........... don't go back to Preston; give it a go over here. I was really disappointed on a recent visit back to Preston.

In '92 we held a Preston Guild get together here in Perth and had more than 500 turn up........ great craic, had a live link up with the major of Preston and a chat to Sir Tom.

I am Scottish tho, and we live in Melbourne - Hampton to be exact.
What about getting plenty of Scots together and us all going to the next Melbourne meet?!
