Older Teenagers/Young Adults Get-Together

[Guest Miss-Wales1987]

Hi. Count me in. Where will the BBQ be held? I am 21 and live in Moana. Orig. from Wales. =)

[Guest searknubley]

This is aimed at every older teenager / young adult on this forum. My family and I will be arriving on the Wednesday 10th February 2010. We are a young couple with a daughter Shannon aged 17, son Nathan aged 21 and another daughter Charlotte aged 11. I am extremely worried about my kids being isolated and not gaining good friends in Adelaide. I am not so worried about my Nathan has he is a professional sportsman and has very outgoing nature, but its my Shannon she is more resiliant about our family adventure with our new life in Adelaide. Basically does not want to be in Adelaide.

 

So what I am hoping to arrange once we have settled is to arrange a a BBQ at our place for all you teenagers / young adults to socialise. Hopefully this will not just help my kids but other young people to meet new friends. Maybe some like minded parents can tag along as well lol.

 

Obviously we will not be in Adelaide until Feb, but I will post an update nearer the time. Furthermore I have coached and managed soccer teams for the past 22 years here in the UK, plus my son has been a professional. I am going to look into sorting out a team from scratch and enter a Saturday/Sunday league. Maybe we could call the team PIA FC. What do you think moderators. We could arrange Parents V Kids Soccer match.

 

I understand that you young ones - that it is horrible for us older people/parents trying to get you friends etc, but this BBQ is meant with all good intentions. Hopefully some good can come from this socialable event and you had the chance to gain acquaintances and exchange contact details and sorted out your own future arrangements regarding meeting each other.

 

I look forward to your replies...................

hi we would be happy to come I have a nearly 16 yr old girl and a 19 yr old girl. stewart & elaine

Hi just to keep you updated about our get-together. Please read below:

 

To all young adults! My son is 21 years old on the Tuesday 16th March 2010. We have just emigrated from Newcastle upon Tyne and my Son Nathan has not met any mates as of yet. So celebrating his 21st birthday is not going to be so special.

 

Therefore I would like very much for all younger adults (male or female) to come and celebrate my son Nathan's 21st birthday on the Saturday 20th March 2010 and to go out around Hindley Street on the drink. I am suggesting that we have a later afternoon session (4.00 p.m.) at our home in Ferryden Park (North West), which is 9km from the CBD, near Woodville, Kilkenny, Athol Park, Angle Park and Croydon. This will help people to chat/socialise and a have drink, I will even put some food on. Then if the mood takes us we can end up going out around Hindley Street later, (this may change on the night). For those people who like pass the parcel, sorry been told that's a no go area, but jelly and custard I will try my best for, lol.

 

I have also a daughter 'Shannon' nearly 17 years old who would like to meet friends at a similar age, so you can come along as well. We also have a 11 year old girl as well 'Charlotte', who requires friends as well, so bring them too. In addition we have Mam's and Dad's who are welcome - as my wife and I will be going out as well. If not we might be left with the cleaning up instead. If you are short of money then don't do the Hindley Street , but still come to our home to join in the celebrations.

 

Please make my son's 21st Birthday memorable in a great way. If you would like to come, please can you inform me via this post or my other posts titled : Younger Adults Night Out & Party / Sons 21st Birthday Celebrations or you can PM me if you require further details or you want me to keep you informed via telphone/text message, leave your details via PM. Each and everyone who states that they would like to come I will contact you via PM or telephone or text message with our address and which buses you can catch from the CBD.

 

I hope to hear from you very soon, by the way our home will be without a lot of furniture as our furniture does not arrive until the end of March.

 

Thanks and I hope to see you soon!!!!

Just another update, we were originally having our party on the Saturday 20th March 2010. Sorry this will have to be delayed by another week, this is due to not gaining our furniture from the UK. Shipment has been delayed. Therefore our party - Nathan's 21st celebration will be on the Saturday 27th March from the time of 3pm.

 

Sorry if this has inconvienced anyone but we would feel a little bit embarrased with an empty house and no glasses to drink out of and no plates to put the food on lol.

 

I will keep you lot informed ok.

[Guest searknubley]

no worries we will still be there on 27th..hope you guys are good.elaine & stewart

[Guest the4hopes]

Tony, you're in Australia now!! People can bring their own deckchairs and plates

[Boxertony]

I was fine about it, not having any furniture, but it was my Nathan who said he would be ashamed inviting people to our new rental when its empty and drinking out of paper cups and eating off paper plates lol. So he wanted to delay it a week, hopefully our stuff will be here by then. Already its two weeks behind. Hope to see everyone soon

Hi,

 

We have just moved here from the Uk 2 weeks ago. I am 41, husband is 38 and my son is 20.

 

My son is struggling to settle in at the moment, he hasn't met any friends as yet, and he's missing his mates back home. We've never seen so much of him, usually back home, he comes home for shower and to be fed and then we don't see him until the next day! Where do you suggest the best places to go to meet people his own age?

 

kind regards

Donna, Sean and Sam

[Guest Donna&Sean&Sam]

Thank you so much for inviting us to Nathan's 21st, we had a really good time.

 

It was really interesting to hear other peoples experiences, and good to meet so many lovely people.

 

Hope to keep in touch with all of you.

IGNORE THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE

 

To All,

 

It's that time again for another BBQ/party at ours. Our previous one we had for my son Nathan's 21st at the end of March was a really good celebration and a great turn out. This time it is my 41st birthday celebrations.

 

Same guidelines as last time. Therefore I would like very much for all younger adults (male and female) to come and celebrate my 41st birthday on the Saturday 8th May 2010. This will help you sociaslise with people of your own age and meet new friends. I am suggesting that we commence around (7.00 p.m.) at our home in Ferryden Park (North West), which is 9km from the CBD, near Woodville, Kilkenny, Athol Park, Angle Park and Croydon. This will help people to chat/socialise and a have drink, I will even put some food on.

 

I have also a daughter 'Shannon' 17 years old who would like to meet friends at a similar age, so you can come along as well. We also have a 11 year old girl as well 'Charlotte', who requires friends as well, so bring them too. In addition we have Mam's and Dad's who are welcome. I would like all newcomers to join in, nice way to meet people who have been through the same experiences.

 

If you would like to come, please can you inform me via this post or you can PM me if you require further details or you want me to keep you informed via telphone/text message, leave your details via PM. Each and everyone who states that they would like to come I will contact you via PM or telephone or text message with our address and which buses you can catch from the CBD.

 

Bring your drink remember and hopefully see you this Saturday 8th May.

 

Thanks and I hope to see you soon!!!!
