Thanks Chris. Sorry we've had to pull out, and yes, hopefully we'll make the next one (by which time our application should have been sent off!).

Cheers
Karl
PS: Aussie flags are probably safe, now that they've been (unfairly) eliminated from the World Cup!

Hi All

No changes to the line up above, so see you all tomorrow! :)

Haven't a clue where we should all congregate, as I have never been there before :o but I'm sure we will find each other + you have our numbers - If you are desperate to clock us before tomorrow there is an old picture of us here:http://www.discodelic.netfirms.com/s...yepopping6.gifDodgy picture of the Effy's! http://www.discodelic.netfirms.com/scared-boltaway1.gif Yes, I know what you're thinking........... that there is a striking resemblance to Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie! but it's purely coincidental & they are not related to us! :D

See you tomorrow guys!

Hi Guys

Just to say I hope you have a good meet later today.

Sorry we couldn't be there but it is a bit of a trek at the mo:D

The funny thing is though we are meeting up with Jane and Russ today so we will be having our own little Northampton meet but here in Brissie.

Have fun

Graham

Hi all,

thanks guys for a great meet! Becky & Craig + Stuart & Michelle - sorry guys that we didn't get time to chat , but hopefully will at another/next meet! :)

it was really good to talk to you all about moving to Oz & it makes you realise that everyone is in the same boat when it comes to gathering info for forms & Visa's :)

Also, we found out that for most people, their Oz move is not meticulously planned down to the last item, as we thought it might be, but mostly everyone is just seeing what happens when they get over there & taking things as they come. This is a great relief as we thought we weren't putting nearly enough effort into researching suburbs & the like! :rolleyes:

Thanks again all & look forward to another meet + thanks Karl & Anne for the initial planning & suggestion of having a meet :D

Cheers all,

Chris & Sharon

Hi everyone

Sorry we couldn't get to the meet....it took longer than we thought to get back from Cornwall and we were still on the road at 7pm!

Glad to hear you all had a great time and we're looking forward to meeting you all at the next one. :)
