Haven't said much lately, too busy pulling what's left of may hair out!!!
Hoping that we may hear before the weekend, and they won't drag it out to the end of the month - Monday!
I was there on the information day and have come away with the impression that we all - 150 of us - would know by the end of the month, did everyone else think this, or is my paranoia getting the better of me?

Re: Club One Five '0'
Just had a quick look at the photo section.
On a minor point which people may not of considered;
Are the Oz press anything like ours???
Eg. if a recently joined ex UK officer is involved in an incident where shots are fired ( they are an armed force) and someone is injured or dies, the press may well take alot of interest.
Lets not kid our selves that people in Oz are not looking at these sights!!
There on display is a picture of that officer and his family. :scared:
The UK press would have it down loaded and stored just incase.
It may be worth thinking about before putting pics of your partner or kids on it???

Re: Club One Five '0'
Hi,
Has anyone had their medicals already? We had ours 3 weeks ago, and they were sent of over a week ago to Oz house. Are we supposed to receive some sort of notification that they have received them? I thought we would be given a reference number which we would then put on the visa when it is submitted so they could marry the two up?
Anyone know?
It's just that after spending over £500 I need to know if they have received them!

Hi Ann
If you go on the Australian High Commision (London) website, there is a 'first enquiries?' email address in the visa section, but i'm sure they will answer you question.
They usally are pretty prompt at getting back.
Hope all is well with you, Rich and the girls

I will take a look tomorrow, off in a few minutes for Zoe's swimming lesson.
I hope every thing is going well for you with the big move!

Just to lighten the mood whilst we wait to find out our fate
It's snowing like crazy here. Nice to see what we might be missing though, although the kids love it!!!

Hope that helps

We also have gone ahead and had the medicals done, two weeks ago. When I spoke to Scott he said the medicals would be filed with the federal goverment dept of Australia House, would be interested to hear how you get on, I was going to ring later this week.
After spending all that money thought I might just make sure they've got there and are held on file!

We had contact from Oz House today. I emailed Scott re an extra xray form (they only gave us 2 instead of 3) and we had ours done today. Fortunately we were able to borrow one from a friend. We were told by Petra that everything will now be handled by SAPOL. Scott is currently away skiing (don't know why - we have perfectly good snow here!!!)

I still think the big thing for us is the fact that they really can't afford the bad publicity they would get if they let down 150 experienced cops at this stage.
I don't believe in psycic's but had a spooky experience with the Haywards Heath Citizen (free local paper) that siad I would be be considering a new job and it would be my choice after careful consideration if I took it. I haven't read my stars in 20 years and probably wont fo the next 20.
When we do find out it would be nice to meet up with any 150's local so maybe we could post some details of Forces/ Stations etc. I know my wife would like to meet any other mothers with kids before we go. My son is 9.
We would also like to consider sharing a container to keep cost down if anyone is interested.

Ronnie,
Sorry for the slow reply. Been down with the parents this weekend placating them and no time to log on!! Meeting up sounds like a good idea regardless of where we all are. There must be some 'mutual' meeting area we can arrange. If we're all gonna travel to the other side of the world I'm sure 2-3 hours to meet others around the country ain't gonna hurt - provided we can fit it into the medicals, house painting, car selling, pet jabbing, happy/stroppy kids schedules.
I'm currently a PS (won't be that for much longer when the sun calls!) and work at Ilford in the Met and know Pete. I'm single, no kids. Would love to meet up with any others that are in our situation.
Kimberley
