Meet in Birmingham

[Liz and Kris UK]

Hi everyone would anybody be up for a lunchtime meet one saturday in march, in central brmingham. We thought it would be easy for most people to get by car or train. We are hoping to emigrate in april or may and would love to meet as many people as possible.

 

Hope to see you soon

Hey mate...!

 

We would meet in Brum...just depends on Stephs work rota.....!! Think she is off 15th March though!

 

Will give ya a ring soon too...!

 

Dan and Steph

[Liz and Kris UK]

ok mate I will request 15th march off.

[Guest lynne]

I don't mind meeting up. Do you think it might be better to meet outside of the city near the motorway exit. If people are travelling than they will be able to find it easier.

 

Where in Birmingham was you thinking of?

 

Lynne

[Liz and Kris UK]

we will be getting the train so somewhere in the city would be better for us am open to suggestions.

[Guest swampo]

HI all,

 

Yes, we would be up for a meet, it really is a great way to meet people and chew over the fat. Don't mind either city or burbs, any suggestions? We have traditionally met up at the Marlbrook, Bromsgrove on the A38. It'and easy, straight off the motorway, can't get lost. On the other hand, the city sounds good - shopping opportunities for us ladies!!! Keep us posted.

I know all you guys want to be here in adelaide, but for a night out i would love a night in brum, starting at lloyds, then onto the sports bar before finishing off in the Risa bar, unless all these bars have gone in the last couple of years...

 

but have fun at the meet....

 

Maybe when everyone is here have a brummy meet in glenelg, at the dublin, Salt, Pier Bar or Fizz at the beach.... with better views than broad street...

[Guest swampo]

Sounds like a plan to me!

[Liz and Kris UK]

We were thinking march the 15th at one of the pubs at the canal basin in the centre of brum if thats ok with everyone else.

[scooterdan]

Hey Liz and Kris,

 

Sounds fine to us...dont know a lot of the pub names but can easily find them!!! Any idea on sort of times....?

 

Keep us posted.... speak soon mate, tried the other day, you musta been working/out, will try again!

Well..thats looks fine to us....!! Nice lookin pub!!

 

if you wanna shopping trip would it best to go for a afternoon/late afternoon meet, about 2 - 3pm ish..?

 

Dan and Steph

[Guest swampo]

Don't mind, I can shop anytime of the day !!!! However 2-3 does sound like a good idea, it will allow those coming from further afield the time to get there.

[Guest swampo]

Dan and mrs dan, just realised this will be the last time we will see you until we are all on the 'other side'. Is anyone bringing the flag? Otherwise we will all be sitting in the pub in diffeent areas not knowing there are 'others' out ther or worse, going around people and saying "are you a Poms?"

 

Anyone with children, this is a great place, the National Sealife Centre is just accross the canal - ideal for kids (old and young).

 

So are we saying THE MALT HOUSE 2 o/c KICK OFF is a definate folks?

[Liz and Kris UK]

Hiya

Its a yes from us we will be there, this will be the first time we have been to a meet. I will have to tell Kris to behave or it might be our last ha ha.

 

 

 

Liz and Kris

[scooterdan]

Hey!

 

We will be there...!! I can bring a flag...but also wear also my Wallabies top..!

 

This will be our last meet over here.... but we can have more on the other side!!!

Hey Mall and kev,

 

Marino is a suburb, just north of Hallet Cove, have heard its a nice place of various folk we have spoke to. We have got a 1 bedroom place there for 2 months. Got it of a site called www.realestateowners.net.au

 

Just email the owners of the property you like and see what they say.
