Hi everyone,

We arrived here 2 weeks ago and would also love to meet up. Me, my husband Lee, our son Alfie who is 5 and our daughter Lola who is 2 would love to come out and play. Is it still happening at Flex on the 4th September and will there be other children there?

Hi Claire, Welcome to NZ, hope you are getting sorted, your children sound fab, I remember those days VERY well, I am here and coming to the meet-up, my 'baby' is 17 and will be in the skate park on his bike, but I am sure that there will be other little ones around, if not I can still push a swing
really looking forward to meeting you and your family, see u there

The first few weeks are tough for everyone.... if you fancy a coffee or catch-up before the 4th, just let me know I am waiting for my Husbaand Mike to arrive in December, so pretty much have most eve/weekends free, I am living in Browns Bay, but have a car so can travel, I will PM u my Mobile number if u want to catch up, we can even take the kids to Mac D's they do good coffee and have a play park for the little ones
take care claire

Hi All

Enjoyed meeting those who were at the last meet up. It was our first time and it was good to swap stories and find out lots of info.
Clare - Welcome to New Zealand. We arrived about 6 weeks ago and have a 2 almost 3 yr old son called William and I am 28wks pregnant - so a new kiwi on the way! Looking forward to meeting you on the 4th and if you want to get intouch before thats cool. Meeting new friends is always good when you first arrive, as we have found. We are renting a house in Albany.
Our container arrived on Monday and it was like christmas for the first few hours but then the amount of boxes and mess became a bit stressful. All sorted now
See you on the 4th.

I know the forum's for British expats, but was wondering if I might join you as well at your next meet up? I'm originally from Finland, but spent practically all my adult life (13 years) in the UK before moving to NZ with Kiwi hubby and now 11 month old DD at the start of April.
