From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Hi all,

I'm about to move from Edmonton to Calgary.

First of all - I / we (my wife and I) won't know anyone in Calgary, so if anyone's up for a pint or 2 sometime soon please let me know. We are both mid 20s and sociable!

Also, I'm looking to join a football (soccer) team - Is there anybody on the forum who knows of a team with other ex-pats in? If so some contact details would be appreciated.

Anyway,

Thanks for reading!

Dave.

I work in downtown Calgary and would be happy to meet up for a pint at lunchtime. We lived in Calgary until just before Christmas last year when we moved out of the city. I would be happy to provide you with answers to any questions you may have.

I suggest you give cheeky_monkey a shout. He moved from Edmonton to Calgary and is a former pro footballer.

Thanks for that, would be great to meet up for a lunch time pint! - I'm sort of in a transition period at the moment, spending a few nights in Calgary at a time and going to be there full time from October 1st, 2013.

My current mobile number is <snipped>, maybe you could drop me a text or something then i'll have yours to arrange something for maybe the next time i'm down.

Thanks for the tip with cheeky_monkey - i'll get onto him now.

Thanks,

Dave.

needed a third post to send a message to cheekymonkey....

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Lunchtime pint? I could do that too.

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Sounds like we might be into a winner with this...take my number in one of my posts above text me, then when I'm down over the next few weeks I'll text around and see who's available!

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Ps my number is <snipped>. - hopefully this will post this time !

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

PM on the way...

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

I have removed your phone number (twice) as it is never a good idea to post your phone number on an open forum.

If you want to send your phone number, send it by private PM if you want someone to have it.

Lunchtime pint i'd be up for. I work downtown. I also play on a football team (Soccer for the Canuks). There are 3 of us English lads on it. We got promoted this summer to Div 4 for next season and are about to start in a month the indoor season. Let me know if you are interested. Xi FC is the team and we are in the CUSA Leagues. A few of us are Arsenal fans and we watch all the games as well at the Pig and duke pub as it's the only downtown pub that opens for all the 8am Saturday games. We will be there Sat 8am to watch Arsenal v Sunderland if you fancy stopping by.

I'm always up for pints in Calgary, not at lunchtime though :lol: i need my full concentration so i don't kill myself or someone else :P

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Thanks Dave03 I just had the same question (almost) and here is your post:goodpost:

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Typical - I am stuck in Edmonton and everyone wants to go for a pint in Calgary :)

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Don't you need to go for a meeting in Calgary on Tues 24th September? I think you do.

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

That would be handy :)

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Nice you flatter me too much:thumbup: In fact i was an apprentice with Arsenal for one season 1986-7..but injury and illness meant i never made the grade as a full time pro:thumbdown:(but that's another story)

But yes i did move from Edmonton to Calgary.

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

How will I know I've found the right crowd on the 24th? I'd hate to spend a lunch hour only to find out I was sitting with a bunch of guys from the French Expats forum.

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Well naturally, I'll be wearing a kilt and have my face painted blue, and AC will have his pith helmet and Union Jack waistcoat on.

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Well that should make it easy.

I'll bring a cradle so you recognize me.

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Really? And you haven't come down and watched any games with the Supporters Club here yet at the Pig and Duke?!! Come down tomorrow morning for the Sunderland Game.

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Well i'm SAFC so this should be interesting......

I don't make it a habbit of getting out of bed before 10am on a weekend, but seen as though there is a chance (albeit small) of being the only guy there who can gloat - i'll try to make the effort!

See you all at the Pig & Duke bright and early tomorrow morning! :-)

Is anyone able to twist their missus' arm to come down too - then there can be some handbag chat for my 'better' half!?...(joke - hopeully no-one will be too offended!?)

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

p.s. cheeky_monkey - did you know all the Morningwood boys then? - Danny Greenwood / Ant Bent etc, etc, etc...?

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Sounds good. Come and ask for Rick or Jake. We are both North London originally. Love a bit of banter. So his missus is in Italy and mine sometimes comes down - depends on the hangover but there is usually at least 4 or 5 girls there so she won't be alone. see you tomorrow!

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
 

Jesus I didn't go to bed until 8am.

Re: From Edmonton to Calgary....
