It is a well developed area with several large shopping malls but rural at the same time. Look for macarthur area. I think you are Camden type of people. Will post you more links when I have time. All the best,

Shame no-one came last time. We would be interested, went to a couple of meets in Kent (with Asher) which we quite enjoyed. We both work during the week & don't get home til after 6, so weekend would be better for us. We don't have kids, but doesn't bother us if kids are there.

Hi Everyone,

Can I join in please?

We have been here since Jan and started off in Mount Annan and have now moved to Kirkham just outside Camden.
Kids friends are all in Mt Annan/Currans Hill though so I'm still up there most days.

I dont work yet so I'm available for get-togethers anytime.
I'm 41 and hubby is 45 and we have 3 kids 19, 17 and 12.

Look forward to meeting some of you sometime.

Thanks
P x

Thanks, nice to meet you too.

Where abouts are you?
