South Coast Meet anyone?
 
Hi,
Missed the last meet due to work commitments and would love to meet up with some of you guys leaving the South of England for Australia. How about it?

Do I take this as a "NO" then? Where are all you guys who met in Portsmouth/Southsea a couple of months ago? Have you left for Aus already?

Robbo2.

Claire,
Sorry, been busy and have not been reading all the threads. Getting busy for us now, as we leave on 6th of August. Do you know roughly when and where. Hope we can make it and get to see you before we leave.

Re: South Coast Meet anyone?
 
looking at this i think somewhere in southamton would be the best for all. anyone else thinks so ? maybe a pub near m27 or m271 ? sunday arvo best for me say 4pm onwards

JJJHM May 18th 2005 8:59 pm

Re: South Coast Meet anyone?
 
Sounds good, we couldn't make the last one either... how about the Sunday after the bank holiday... I think thats the 5th June...

With regards to where we meet, there's a Brewers Fayre pub (but no play area) called The Gateway, Leigh Rd, Eastleigh, Hampshire SO50 9YX (Situated on J13, M3 going towards Eastleigh) which is the first junction up the M3 from the M27... or how about The Parsons Collar at the Solent Hotel Whiteley, just off of junction 9 M27...

Can't go on recommendation just looking at location and ease from the motorway.. both of these pubs are just off the motorway junctions.

However if someone can suggest somewhere with a kids play area even better.. I know there is a big pub right next to Paultons Park but I don't know the name or if there are play facilities!!

Just a few ideas!!!

Julie

forgot to say... have 2 small children so 3pm would be better for us as we wouldn't be able to stay much after 5pm... soz!!!

Unfortunalty not, but an ok outside if the weathers good... if anyone can come up with a place with kids area we'd prefer it too!!! but this is really easy access to the M27.. right on J9..

Any other suggestions?

Hi Guys,
Sorry, have not checked forum for a couple of days. Somewhere in Southampton sounds good. 5th June 3pm sounds fine too. Just need a venue.
Pub next to paultons park isn't that child friendly, but the brewers fayre in Eastleigh could be a possibility.
Someone want to confirm venue and start a list?

Sorry, Pub next to paultons park does have a good outside play area!!! nothing indoors if weather bad though.
Anyone know of any more pubs with indoor play areas?
Are we definitely on for 5th June? Anyone know where the last meet was? I think it was Fareham or Southsea? The pub they met in had a playarea for kids I think???!!!

I feel like we're going round in circles.. venue being the biggest problem!

Looks like there will be a few of us, as the only pub we seem to know that has good kids facilities is The Farmhouse on the Eastern Road, Portsmouth (cheap food too!).. shall we make it there or stick with the Parsons Collar at The Solent Hotel which is more central?... decisions, decisions... .. anyone would think we were trying to organise a major event!! Please would someone who can be decisive make a decision :confused: ...as I'm having a bad hair day!!! :D

Just to confirm...

Date : Sunday 5th June
From : 3pm (ish)...

THANK YOU...

Julie

Fabulous...lets all bring something Australian so we can spot each other!
Alternatively, hubby suggests ordering Fosters or Castlemaine xxxx rather loudly at the bar!!!!!
Looking forward to meeting you all. x

Re: South Coast Meet anyone?
 
Yep, we will be there. It will be me (sarah), Dave and two kids. Dave is still fiercely english, so I am not sure I will get him to wear anything australian, but the children will wear their aussie caps that we got them in december. Look forward to meeting everyone.

Sarah

It is the link next to the 'My profile' link at the top of the page - this new format - very confusing.....

Hiya,
Have attempted to add it to Meet ups calendar, but it's come out on todays date!!!!! Not very helpful. Must have done something wrong. Anyone else want to have a go?

Guys,

there was a meetup recently organised through Aussiemove.com in Southsea at the Clarence. They have a really good kids area and the food was reasonably priced.

Good luck with the meetup, we found that getting together with like minded people eased some of our worries and helped us make a whole new load of friends
