Tasmania Meet Up
 
Hi Everyone, :D
We are looking at having a meet up in Tasmania, Hopefully going to make it every other month. Rotate the meets from Launceston and Hobart!!!
We are looking at having the first one around the end of Feb in the Cock and Bull in Launceston probably start around 12 ish make it a nice afternoon meet, Then if people want to go around shopping for a bit then come back they can do.
So has anyone got any dates they would prefair it to be??? I was thinking around the 23rd Feb 2008. How does that sound to people.

Gary and Vikky(Plus bump):thumbsup:

Can't make the Launnie meet but would be OK for Hobart. Any idea of when and where? We got to Tas in October and loving it but would love to hear from others who've moved here - over a cold beer!

Hello Heather!:)

We arrived in Oct too! :eek: Where abouts are you? We have a rental in Moonah and have met up with another brit family who came out 3 weeks after us (the Bishops), they are living in Lindisfarne. Its nice to be able to connect with each other as it can be a very lonely experience, not knowing anyone etc.

We have a 4 year old boy called Alex and the Bishops have 3 kids aged 6,5 and 2. So our kids get to play with one another which is good for them too.

Hi,

Good to hear from you. Hope to meet up with you sometime. We are from Burton-on-Trent (not too far from MM) but originally from Leeds and Birmingham. Love it here and we must have timed it right as the weather has been great since we arrived!

Heather (& Nigel)

Just saw the Leeds thread. Nigel is a lifelong LUFC fan too. Good subject for discussion when we meet up!

like you, we can't make the Launnie meet - maybe we could meet up for a beer or two?

Sounds good! perhaps you could send us contact details separate to this link. I can't figure out how to do this yet. I know it can be done as Kerry e-mailed me.

PS Nigel has some copies of Square Ball & LLL magazines.
