Vancouver Island meet-up
 
So how about a February meet-up then?
Would be great to put a face to your names ~ jempee, ellsie, Investor, me, & anyone else who'd care to join in (can't remember everyones name :() :beer: :beer:

Sounds good. We should have arrived by end of January and pretty much any date in February would be ok.

We'd definately like to meet up with you all in February - as long as it is after the 4th as I'm popping back to the motherland (to stock up on goodies!).

Where were you thinking of meeting up? Victoria, or someone more central to everyone?

Hi there :D

I think ellsie is in Campbell River, I'm gonna ask 'gooding' who is in Courteney, Investor will be here in Nanaimo & jempee is at Cobble Hill so we're pretty spread out............far be it from me to make the decisions ;) but how about we keep it central this time & if we all enjoy it we could take turns meeting in each persons town/city? :)

Apologies to anyone I've forgotten......(Burt?)

ellsie Jan 8th 2007 11:07 pm

Re: Vancouver Island meet-up
 
I am in CR and it's raining! Is Nanaimo most central, reading between the lines?:confused: :rolleyes:

Yep it is, most people fancied the 18th or 25th.........either works for me :)

I think the Escapea is off to blighty & I'm not sure if he/she'll be back for the earlier date...........Escapea???

Re: Vancouver Island meet-up
 
Hi - 25th is good with us. And I'm am off back home next week (hurray - I'm going to see how many M&S custard tarts it is possible to eat in a week...! :D ) but I'm back on the 4th - so we could also make the 18th date.

I'll make this sticky for you for a little while. If you haven't done so yet don't forget to add your meet-up to the calendar. We've added a new feature, people can now RSVP for get togethers so you have a better idea who is going to attend.

Re: Vancouver Island meet-up
 
We're going to try to be there but we are only on the Island for a week and our realtor has lots planned for us and there is lots we want to do. So if we can fit it in we will but won't really know for sure until we are there. Hopefully see you soon.

It has been so long since I have been on this site! Too busy and settled into our life here on the island.
For all that think the wait for immigration seems forever, once you are here, time flies,. I used to to spend every day on the site once upon a time.

Just to say we will be attending on 25th and coming down from Courtenay , so anyone looking at moving to this area or surrounds, we look forward to telling you all we know. Love it her, and will never return to old life now. See you all on 25th
