Hi guys

I just moved here from Scotland on 1 August. Enjoying it so far but don't really know anyone here yet so would love to arrange a meet up and grab a beer or 3 with some of you!

Haven't used this forum before so not sure if it all just gets arranged through replies or private messages?

Hope to set something up soon - always fun to meet new people!

Happy to do a large group meet up when we get numbers or just meet up with 1 on 1 or smaller groups. Just really looking to meet some new people soon/now

Ok - where and when suits everyone? I'm not sure if this gets arranged just here like this or if there's a private message thing?

Pubs, it won't matter, but if it's a weekend meet up for families, might pay to check the weather.... it'll mostly be windy!

The family and I are coming to down to Wellywood for the Bledisloe cup game on the 24th.

I can definitely tell you that I'll be drinking in town and probably going for a curry on the afternoon/early evening on Friday the 23rd.

Will be back in town for some jars on Rugby day too.

A pal of mine is pals with the bloke who runs the Green Man on the corner of Willeston and Victoria St. A decent enough pub.

Hey tommy, we will also be there for the all blacks, so will also be in the city, planning to do a day of it and get some food in the city before the match as a family

Dodfather

All sounding good guys! Should we try and set something up?

moonie2011

I'm up for it, family friendly please

So what date are we talking about?

If you want to meet a variety of people with different interests (not all British/expats), take a look at www.meetup.com then type Wellington in the find a group search box and you will be surprised at the amount and diversity of interests in the area.

Given the weekend being touted is Bledisloe Cup weekend, as expats, I think we'll be outnumbered as it is ...
