Thought of you all meeting up yesterday and didn't you have great weather? The flag helped then Carl? We also are looking forward to the meet up on 28th. It will be fun to be around people that understand what we are going through.
We will make sure that we bring a camera, you just can't get the staff these days can yer? ;)

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Oooopppppss yes I did mean flags:o

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Fresh back from the pub that had us in stitches.

Thanks, Gibbos!:rofl: :rofl: :p

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Will be booked into the Travelodge from Friday 27th so any time Saturday is good with us!

Just depends what sort of distances people are travelling on the day!

Thought I'd got the wrong meet up when you mentioned "fags"!! :rofl: :p :eek:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi All,

Just started reading this thread this eve.... maybe interested in your meet up soon could you give me a few more details on where, when etc.. ?

I have 2 boys aged 10 & 7 that may have to be dragged along.

We're looking to go to Nova Scotia, having been there twice and Newfoundland once,,, just had Meds last Thursday at clinic in London recommended by MK Murrays.

Thanks

Michelle

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

How did meds go?
Hope they looked after you?:unsure:

Meds were good,,, think worse bit is actually the thought of all this stuff !

Came down with throat & aching last Monday and still not too good,, probably the worry,,, goodness knows what I'll be like when we finally get there !!

Never got round to mailing you to say Thanks for the lists,,, bet you are counting the days until you leave these shores,,, did I read somewhere you are off on 29th ?

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Michelle, Hi & Welcome.

Have a look on page 5 message 62 & 64 of this thread but meet up looks like it's going to be changed to 12 noon.

Hope to see you there.

:thumbup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi mumof2

Glad meds went well - at least they're done with now.
Yep we go on 28th.......eek!

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi Mumof2,
glad you can make it.
We are meeting in the car park for the Major Oak. It's free parking, large play area, cafe, few pubs in local area.The Major Oak is just North of Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire. If you put a search in on multimap for Edwinstowe and you will see the parking marked on the map. It's in the Sherwood forest.

We the Gibbos are caravaning in a site about 2 miles up the road from the Tree and the Hotel is a little further along. If you contact stevd61 he has more details about the hotel, also other people staying in travel log and another B&B, so if you are look for a place to stay, just ask. I will send you a PM with link for the campsite tomorrow. Along with more details on the venue.

We are taking our two kids, Emily 9, and James 7, and I think there will be a few more kids, so they should keep them selves happy :eek: :thumbsup:



mkmurrays,
Did make me laugh and had to show Trace. I have had a few tins now, so I am being extra careful:p

Nova boy,
you never know who gunna turn up:huh:


This is looking like it's going to be a brill meet-up, loads going:thumbsup:
speak soon,
Carl:thumbup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Ah mkmurrays,
real pitty you are not going to be there for the 28th meet-up, you have been a great help and just wanted to meet and say thanks in person.

We will have to try and meet up when we go over for holiday/research trip, end July, begin Aug?

Cheers Sharon,
Carl:D :thumbup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

hello all
got an email from the site this week and have only just looked at it, there was a link to your calendar date

we're in the early stages of planning our emigration. I (Kristi) was born in toronto and am just sending off for my canadian passport, then i hope to sponsor my partner (Karl) on a family class visa.

we're just down the road from nottingham in northamptonshire and i think we'll be coming on the 28th (need to wait til i can get hold of karl, he's had to go to edinbugh today for work)

i've been reading loads of posts and articles on this and other emigration sites & forums and am getting a bit over-whelmed with all the info available, it would be great to meet and speak with others planning this big life-changing event to get ideas, info and advice!

hope to see you in a couple of weeks :)

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi thundercat600,
most welcome to come along and say hello. This will be the first meet up for most of us, we had a small on saturday, and we found it very interesting and helpful, and made some new friends in the process.

Will PM you later and hope to see you there.
regards,
Carl:thumbup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

great stuff! if i'd read this earlier in the week we could've popped across to stratford on saturday! hope to see you on the 28th :D

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi,, certainly would like to attend this meet up however, youngest child has to go to communion stuff 10-12 so cannot leave MK until 12.

According to satnav,, takes about 2 hours to get to meet up but both OH and I are looking at leaving straight after,,, will you all still be around about 2'ish ?
We may book in to the Travelodge as suggested by Novaboy.

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi Carl,
Sounds like you had a good time in Stratford, I am really looking forward to the 28th, although was a tad worried when I saw the 'fag' comment;)
Thanks for the laugh:rofl:
See you soon.
:wub:Charlie :wub:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

OH no, I'm not going to live that comment down, am I:o :D

12 meet-up time ok then? I will give the park a bell later today or in the week, get some more details.

I think we are going to sort out a picnic again for lunch, then have meal out in the evening? Then we could all meet up at a pub, maybe? on the night?
Please let me know what you think about picnic idea:thumbup:

Thanks all, see you soon,
Carl:thumbsup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi,
Picnic sounds good, am happy to go along with the majority, 12pm should be fine....
Will you have your fag, err sorry flag????:rofl:
No your never going to live it down, it will haunt you all the way to Canada:eek:
:wub: Charlie :wub:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

I think I will have to take both now, shut you all up:rofl:

There's that many going, I think I will have to let the police know:p

Sounds good, can't wait.

We are traveling up on the Friday, after kids finish school. Get straight to caravan site, sort van out, then have a pint some where. So if anybody fancies a pint Friday evening, let me know:eek: :thumbsup:
cheers all,
Carl:thumbup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

There's that many going, I think I will have to let the police know:p

Letting the police know?? Is that because of the amount of fags,flags or people??????:rofl:
I would love a pint, but i'll have to wait until the saturday:(
:wub: Charlie :wub:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Letting the police know?? Is that because of the amount of fags,flags or people??????

All of the above:rofl: :rofl: ;)

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Carl, are you planning to be a lumber jack in canada (monty python kind) wearing suspendies and bra???.

Picnic sounds great i have suggested to carl that a mobile number be given out for any late arrivers so they can track us down.

Hotel where some of us are staying in mansfield has restaurant and bar. i will try it out on Friday 27th and give a full report on the saturday if people do fancy drinks and or meal.

If you PM me i will let you have my mobile number, won't give it to carl just in case it turns up on some mens room wall LOL

Steve

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

picnic sounds like a good idea!

Re: Canada meet up in UK

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

All of the above sounds good to us!

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

It's the knickers that keep cutting me that's the pain:eek:

Let me know if you want my mobile and I'll PM you

As for the weather, we will have our seal skin undies on:o :p

The way we do it around my way, is any cheeky comments and you have to buy me a pint:eek: :thumbsup:

I am thinking about doing a list later in the week and PM everybody that has said they fancy the meet-up. So to help, if you would care to send me PM if you are coming, then I can start list now??

All have a think about what dates would be good for the next one and suggest them on the 28th?

Cheers all, see you all soon.:thumbsup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Don't worry about calling the police, you will have your very own on hand to keep you guys under control, be gentle with me! Tee hee!

I don't know if we can be there by 12 cos we are coming from Surrey, maybe we will just have to be sure to get up really early, we'll see.

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

"Don't worry about calling the police, you will have your very own on hand to keep you guys under control"

EEK, cripes best be well behaved, Carl you'll have to watch out you'll be hanging around a car park with your fag/flag.:confused:

I can just hear the 'hello hello, what do we have hear then?':rofl:

:wub:Charlie :wub:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

I'm there's an obscure offence somewhere of 'loitering with a fag, I mean flag, with intent to attract attention'. :p
you'll soon discover that we are on our best behaviour at all times. ;)

[QUOTE=Robin (The Gadget family);4650576]I'm there's an obscure offence somewhere of 'loitering with a fag, I mean flag, with intent to attract attention'. :p


When we were in the States people found it funny when a Brit asked someone if they could 'bum a fag' :eek:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

[QUOTE=moonraker;4650653]Carl, is so going to regret this...Anyone know where we can get a large inflateable fag....not flag?:D
:wub: Charlie :wub:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

[QUOTE=moonraker;4650653]my wife hadtrouble when she 1st came over. she was working with a woman who said she she had got on the bus went upstairs and had a fag. my wife's response was is that legal here in the UK then. it took her a while to realise her friend was talking about a cigarette:thumbsup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Oh you guys are sooooo kind. Don't worry I gave up smoking along time ago:p

Robin,

if you were to leave at say 8, you could be there at about 11ish? So if you got up just a bit earlier and left at 7ish, you would have no problem. You would have to go to bed earlier than you have been though:D

cheers for all your kind words,
Carl:thumbup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi guys, me again,

My kids have been driving me made, asking how many other kids are going to turn up for the meet-up? So have have said that I would ask on here and hopefully get some replies.

Our two are Emily age 9 and James age 7.

So could you please add reply to thread or send a PM, then stop them driving me mad:eek: :blink: :confused: :D

Thanks to you all,
Carl & Tracey:thumbsup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi Emily and James,
Sorry we are not bringing our children.
Hopefully other peple are, I'm sure a few had mentioned children, do you have a rounders bat??
I loooooove rounders, fancy a game???

:thumbsup: Charlie :thumbsup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Yeah mine are too.

Max - boy - 14 says he's not going unless there are hot girlies going!?! :eek: :unsure:

Kelda - girl - 8 now but 9 on 3/5 is just excited and keen to meet new kids.

....and we will be leaving here early-early! :thumbsup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Unfortunately i will be leaving my 4 year old with my sister.

Charlie great idea about rounders/softball i will see if i can get a set.

Maybe adults against kids, i know bit unfair on the adults but could be fun:thumbsup:

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Good job Carl did'nt make his faux pa before the Stratford meet, otherwise I'd have just sent the wife & kids.

Still, can't knock it till you've tried it, eh Carl.

We hope to be going on the 28th and having had a mini meet, would recommend anyone who can go, should make the effort.

As we are likely to be day trippers, we will get there hopefully 10.30 - 11.00. Any other day trippers who want to make the most of it could meet up a little earlier and join the main group around lunchtime.

'Just an Idea if anyone is interested.

Re: Canada meet up in UK
 

Hi,
yep we are taking some bats and balls, so we could find some where to have a game.


Robin,


great to hear your are leaving early.
so far we have 26 couple and families that have said they are interested in the meet-up, so there couple be a few there:eek: :thumbup:
