Sydney meets
 
Hi gang, Pauline and I would like to thank you all for the fun we have had at all the Sydney meets. The amount of really nice people we have met is far too long to list, but you know who you are.
It’s been great catching up and hearing how things have changed for each person since the meet before. Some of the young couples now are parents or just about to be and some have returned home.
Its not easy emigrating to the other side of the world, weather you have kids or not, but you lot have made our life here much easier with you pish© patter and kindness.
Pauline would personally like to thank you all for putting up with me at the meets, she claims it gives her a break.
We would love to catch up with you before we head north, but I doubt if we will get that chance, so I will take this chance to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.
For all the people struggling, I hope this year takes a turn for the better.
Love to you all
Soapy and Pauline

yip sold the car ;)
i sound like a good idea when they offer to sell your car, but its just to fill their lot. they never show it to anyone and they put them off it so they can sell the cars they own :rolleyes:

Bon voyage robert and pauline but you don't get away from us that easily. Keep in trouch with your new whereabouts as we often come up north to see other friends and could arrange a meetup then. Happy Christmas and a successful and prosperous New Year. :beer:

Robert, I and the bairns wish you and Pauline well in your new venture. We will just say goodbye for now as I am sure there will be opportunities for us to meet again either this end of NSW or in your new patch.

Best of luck and thanks for all your hard work in galvanising the Sydney mob - or at least those of us who know who we are :beer:

i ask the same question mate. it looks as if there might be a split between the north and south, something i tried to avoid :rolleyes:
i hope someone can get them all together for the meets.

All the best for your move up the coast, you'll have to pop down every few months to keep the meets going in exchange for a few :beer:

Anyways thanks for sorting the meets out once again.
