Maaate, you weren't in the place to be!!!
Cool, we have a 4.5 year old girl too who is home with Hubby as she is the baby of the family and he's indulging her!! Also have 15, 12 and 8. We will definately organise another don't worry!
Hubby's ancient and in bed ... I'm 21.
I work in the Mount, if I PM you my number, call and we'll have coffee/wine if your timings right!
Originally from London, then Cornwall. Hubby originally from NZ, then Birmingham, then London and Cornwall when I put him right!

Hi Everyone,
I moved from the Uk to Taurnaga around 8 months ago. I think some drinks in Town to catch up with everyone would be good.

Hiya that would be fab Loolah (is that your name?!) Where abouts are you in Papamoa? We are east, Off Golden Sands.
We have some mates here from Birmingham but always on the look out for more! Our daughter is 4.5 too so will probably start school at the same time, are you Papamoa Primary or Tahatai?
Cheers, looking forward to a coffee (no wine for me as baking baby number 3!)

Re: Forum Get Together, what about Bay of Plenty???
OH YEH!!!!!!! we been here 2yrs now but dont seem to get out much!!! a night out in Tauranga sounds just wot we need!!! make new friends b4 xmas ......thas the worst part of yr i think ! im havin a kiwi "Ann Summers" party at mine in a few weeks if anyone interested!! what better way to meet new people than that!!!????? lets plan the night out tho eh??!! im chris and oh is john...3kids , livin in ohauiti.
It would be fab to meet up with more people. What this place needs is an EX-pats social club where you can go regularly to meet people. Havent found anything like that yet though!! I find it harder here in the winters and am ashamed t say I still get homesick, summers are so fab and I wonder why I'd want to go home then.
Ann Summers, i will give it a miss due to me being heavily pregnant!!

Re: Forum Get Together, what about Bay of Plenty???
OK ....let's stop talking about what a good idea it is and get down to some serious planning. I reckon that the 3rd week in November would be a goo date to start with. We will be back from UK, Heleninuk will be here and settled and, hoefully we will get a full turn out! 
The Friday night is the 16th November and we could meet up in either the Mount or in The Strand. From Papamoa they are a similar distance so I would propose The Starnd and the Friday night rather than the Saturday.
Please feel free to agree/disagree as you see fit. Can you please PM me or email me if you are planning to attend so that I can judge numbers.
I look forward to hearing from you

Re: Forum Get Together, what about Bay of Plenty???
Hmm....ok...
we both go to the gym, do classes and work, but.....
in the gym everyone tends to do their own thing anyway and work, well, we work in the same company and have 4 collegues, including the boss!!
Well, I suppose we could make a bit more effort to find some friends!!
We have just bought a house in Papamoa and will move beginning of September. We both agree that we need to meet people and have some fun!!
Last Christmas was quite bad for us over here, we had not long been here, missed our families and friends back home like mad and were really lonely.
Its all gonna change this year cause we will make lots of friends!
Cheers

Re: Forum Get Together, what about Bay of Plenty???
Hiya Paul,
I would love to do this but I'll have a 3 week old by then so will have to decline! Baby will be born on the 25th October so will be sleep deprived and a feeding mum!
Would be better in September for us maybe? or you could do both?
I don't mind where as I'll be driving.
Any other ideas from anyone?
My husband Nick is up for meeting people too. We run a business from home so we don't have work collegues. We meet up with another pomm family every weekend so we could invite them too

Moving over to Tauranga from Uk on 4th October with two kids - boy who will be 2 in December and girl who will be 5 in October. My husband is a Kiwi but from Napier so doesnt know anyone in the area and hasnt lived in New Zealand for 10 years.
Would love to come to your meet up if that is ok
