Hi all,

We (family of 4) have recently arrived in Christchurch after 3 great years in Tauranga. I'd forgotten what it is like without family and friends (again!) and would be keen to meet others living here.

We're currently based in Merivale but are moving over to Cashmere towards the end of November. We've met a few people so far but I'm working from home until the end of the year so opportunities to meet others are a bit limited!

Look forward to hearing from people,

Jac

if you are even in No4 look for the geordie couple, I'll buy you a pint.

I'm in Christchurch

So am I... and I vaguely remember a promise to buy Persephone candy pops and a night out (in?) in an earthquake shelter... That bar that is a lorry in Merivale is pretty good, we can always sit under the tables rather than at them. It's also the only place I stand a chance of finding - and even then it will involve wandering around in circles for a while... Don't know how child friendly it is though?

We can meet you in Merivale we go tutti benne there, good Italian if you havn,t tried it yet ?

How about we try and organise something then, somewhere in Merivale- Italian and then bar?
Chauxfleur, didn't you promise to provide us all with copious amounts of vodka as well

Jan n Neil

JDV does food too, well above average food for a bar. Tutto Bene can be very noisy and hard to hear people talking. We'd be up for a meet

*looks in suitcase* Yup, we're all covered on the Vodka front! Also my fridge appears to be growing it's own cider. There are more bottles than I bought in there now...

Any ideas on a date?

Persephone

Hmm will have to think about that. I tend to finish work at 7pm every night and sometimes later. Maybe a weekend would be better for everyone?

Jan n Neil

A weekend is prob better for us too

Bloody hell if you are going to be that close to my bach (No4 Bar) then I might even meet you for a pint.

Most days are good for me, I try not to let work interfere with drinking..

Weekend after next? I know most people are pretty busy during cup weekend.
