Hi. I know there have been a few Northampton meets in the past year or so - are any more being planned?

Cheers

Hi Karl,

I have organized a few now and they have always been very successful, lots of people and lots of :beer:.
I am now however due to move out of my house next friday so I don't think I am going to get a chance to do anymore :(
Why don't you do one.... there has always been a big response !!!
Good Luck

Re: Northampton
 

We may be interested in a Northants area meet, especially as we can't make the Herts meet, whaddaya say Karl ;)

Re: Northampton
 

It's an idea. Did you go to any of the other Northampton meets? I didn't. Guess Saturdays are best for most people. My eldest daughter works 8 till 3 on a Sat, and we normally have to pick her up. Funnily enough, she really likes Milton Keynes (closest thing to Perth round these parts), and as we live in east northants, MK could be a good alternative venue.

Otherwise - previous N'pton venue (Billing Mill) is pretty easy to get to. Have to see who's interested!!

Re: Northampton
 

No unfortunately didn't go to any of them as we were still in the process of gathering all our TRA evidence & didn't think we'd fit into the scene! Sounds stupid I know :o

But now we have positive TRA we are starting to feel a part of it all now :)

We love MK & will probably miss it when we go.

Billing Mill? Is that near Billing Aquadrome?

Are you a member of 'Poms In Perth' Karl? If you are willing to organise it I could post a message on there just to put a feeler out & see who's interested?

Let us know either way :)

Chris.

Hi

We'd be interested in a meet. We live near Kettering so Northampton area would be great. Saturday or a Sunday would be fine. We are going to Brissy as soon as we've sold the house.

Hi,

We are in Milton Keynes and would be interested in a meet up around MK/Northampton area.

We're in the very early stages of our visa and would be really interested in talking to others about their experiences.

Cheers,
Kay

Re: Northampton
 

We'd be interested in a Northampton meet. We're just starting the TRA process (BF is a chippie) and we're hoping to move to Oz in about 18 months, so would love to meet up with others who are making the move. Billing Mill would be great - we're from near Wellingborough. :)

Re: Northampton
 

Hi again!

OK, how does late June or early July sound (after my daughter's GCSEs!)?

Jayne & Russ (if you're there) - did you normally contact Billing Mill before a meet up, or were the numbers not a problem?

Cheers
Karl

Re: Northampton
 

Another question is - any preferences for Saturday or Sunday?

Sunday is probably best for my family as my eldest usually works on a Saturday.

Karl

Re: Northampton
 

Hi Karl, June or July sounds good for us, wehaven't got anything planned.

We would prefer a Sunday as I wouldn't need to get a day off then, but we will ultimately go with the majority.

Looks like there is a bit of interest which is really encouraging.

Cheers, Chris & Sharon.

Re: Northampton
 

We can't do late June as we are away, but anytime in July would be great. :)

Re: Northampton
 

OK. Early July, and a Sunday. I'll confirm a date later after i've spoken to Ann.

Re: Northampton
 

HI Karl,
Good luck with the meet..... Looks as though you will have a good few people there :beer:
Billing Mill was a good location, however the play area inside cost £1 every half hour !!!!!!! we contacted them before a meet up and they said it was too busy to save us a corner :mad:
So we changed the venue to Crossroads at Weedon as they have a room at the back which we used... If the weather is good then Biling Mill is a fab Venue. They have a play area outside too...... We had our first meet there and the weather was lovely so it was a great meet.
We move out of our house on Friday and shippers are coming on Thursday :scared:
Good Luck I will be keeping an eye to see how it goes ;)
There are a few photos in the Gallery too
