we will be there with our new arrival as she came out a bit early , see you sunday

Karl & Ann - Sorry you cant make it.

We look forward to meeting those that can via the Aussie flag!
See you Sunday

Congratulations!!! You must be thrilled!! Only trouble is, once the wife sees little Bardie, she'll want another one!! :scared:

Just sent you a PM(before I saw this post!)

Hi Alfano, Just sent you a PM

Look forward to seeing you all,

Chris

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!

Haven't been on for a while but we still intend to be there!! Hopefully I won't be the driver!!

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 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:Dodgy picture of the Effy's! 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!

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

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

This is a BIG Thank you to Chris and Sharon for organising todays meet and it was very good.

It was good to put faces to names and meet other people emigrating to oz and their experiences of the visa process

Hope to see you all again soon

Colin and Sandra

Here, here!!

It was a thoroughly nice afternoon and really nice meeting everyone. Good Luck to all with following your dreams!!

Thanks Chris & Sharon for organising a good afternoon.

Nice to meet all you others going through it.

Good luck again to all of you.

Leeane & Frank

Hi guys,

Thanks for organising the meet

We had a great time, nice to meet all the new faces.
sorry we didn't get to meet everybody but will defo next time.

Hopefully we won't have to leave so early

Lets organise another meet soon while the sun is shining and have a few

thanks again

Phil Tracey and the girls

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!

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

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.
