Re: WEST BRISBANE FAMILIES
Hi, we moved to The Gap from Chapel Hill in November. I'm Emma, and my husband James, & sons Joe 4 & Toby 2.
I work full time but would love to catch up with people for a chat /BBQ at the park or something at the weekends.
PM me if anything is being arranged!

Re: WEST BRISBANE FAMILIES
Hi Emma, I've also sent you a PM.
Hi Peter - we are a family with 2 boys under 5. we're currently in the process (fingers crossed) of moving to Chapel Hill from The Gap. Hopefully should be settled in about a month or so - maybe we could arrange a meet up at a park or something?
cheers,
Emma

Re: WEST BRISBANE FAMILIES
It would be great to meet up again - although I'm afraid we're really busy for the next few weekends - James is manning a stall at Greenfest next sunday and we're attempting to arrange a garage sale & pack the household belongings.
How about we make it for next month? We might have moved house by then and things will have settled down a bit, you never know!
It was a great spot at Mt Coot-tha, so would be good to meet there again.
Maybe a few others would like to join us too?
Thanks and hopefully see you soon!
