looking for friends in Wellington!!
Hi Everyone
Mark and Ashlie Here!!!
We Are currently residing in Plimmerton (until furniture arrives mid August) and we are looking for a bit of a social life in Wellington. I am a welder and Ashlie (my wife) is an interior designer.. We are pretty down to earth and by no means Party animals. I know its Winter here in Wellie and not really the time to be wheeling out the barbies but we are looking for some friendly faces here in Wellington who would welcome some new faces into the city. We are mid 30's couple but we are happy to mingle with anyone young or old, any nationality..
Drop us an email if you fancy a night out or a night in..
Many thanks
Mark and Ashlie Buckingham

Hi Mark and Ashlie,
We are moving to the Welly area in September, my OH Hilary has just got a job in Porirua. Obviously not ready to meet up yet though!
We stayed at the backpackers in Plimmerton last year (just for one night). How's it working out living there? Are you renting or living in holiday accomodation? Do you have jobs?

Hi Mark and Ashlie,
alas it's not party season yet with the barbies... so it's all a bit quiet at the moment in Porirua, but being only round the corner from you in Whitby we'd be more than happy to meet up! How does a coffee sound first up?

Hiya Amy, James and Holly, We are currently looking at properties in Upper Hutt with a view to moving there. We will try to catch up with you shortly for a coffee if the offer still stands.
Thank you for all your replies and messages!! We are trying to make an effort to meet up with everyone that posted. It is nice to know that there are people out there in Wellington that have been through the same as us and are willing to meet up for a coffee and give any advice that is needed...
Many thanks again
Mark and Ashlie

Hello!
First time posting on here but have been an avid lurker.
Myself and my partner are in Welly. We have been here since Feb and are keen to meet other folks. I'm a kiwi but my partner is English, we are both in our thirties and live in Brooklyn. We were living in London and in total I've been away from NZ for 10 years!
Would love to catch up sometime

I'm off to the Black Harp (cnr of Featherston and Johnson) for a few drinks after work tonight with a couple of other pom's. Feel free to come along and say hi We'll be there from about 5pm, and the pub does a free BBQ to stave off the hunger.

Hey Cleverchap
Thanks for the invite
Unfortunately we won't be able to make it tonight, but we are keen to catch up another time. Do you usually go to the Black Harp for an after work drink on a friday?

Hey magwa
Yeah the BlackHarp has become a bit of a regular haunt for us just lately!!! (prob because of the free bbq and cold nights)
But come summer time we'll be found in Mac's soaking up the sun and cider
