MichaelD Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Well after a few months here thought it was time to get a social group going. We have met some great people here since we arrived but starting from scratch and making new friends is hard going, Im guessing that we aren't the only ones in this boat so I thought id go out on a limb and see if something couldn't be done about it. So here goes lol, My wife and I are both professionals and living on Darling harbor, 30 ( 'ish on my part ) and no kids. Love the whole eating out and going for a few drinks scene, Well into the rugby ( Will be out Saturday for the Lions match! Watching at Helm bar by the aquarium) and just generally enjoying everything Sydney has to offer other than that. So if there's anyone about wanting to make some new friends get in touch!! I know the Ex-pats forum has a Thursday drinks club going in Sydney so maybe we could get something similar going on on this forum??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Butt Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Michael, I'm not out there until Christmas (mustn't forget the sun cream!). Me and Mrs B will definitely be up for getting together with some like-minded. As you rightly point out - you're not the only ones in that boat, so let's see if this thread gains any momentum. Hopefully by the time we get out there, you'll have a whole network to introduce!! Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtowner Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hey Michael my fiancé and I have been here for nearly a year and only have a small work social group, time to expand we think. We enjoy going out and enjoying what Sydney has to offer. I'm in fire protection trade and cheryl my partner is in business admin. We are out to watch the rugby tomorrow night have to pop to the helm where it seems a lot of Brits will be heading. joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Don't forget you have a new Sydney Forum as well now http://www.sydneyforum.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 @ The Pom Queen, Funny you mention the Sydney forum, My wife Claire ( Clairebear82 ) is running a shockingly similar thread there all ready lol @ Newtowner, Your are more than welcome to join in the fun and festivities tomorrow while we watch the Lions trounce the locals (wishful thinking I know but its the taking part that counts). By the looks of it theres going to be a bit of a crowed so should be a good giggle for all. Hope to see you tomorrow night. Claire and I are planning to be there for about 7 but if you fancy heading in early I can highly recommend the food (and beer) at Helm, $25 will get you 1KG of prawns and $12 for a 2 pint jug of beer/cider the rest of the menu is all top notch too of course :-) Look forward to meeting you tomos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traceyd Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi guys, I would love to meet up, it wold be great to get a group going regularly. I am 42 and living in Westmead, Western Sydney, near Parramatta, having arrived on 30th January this year. I am here alone and am finding it particularly difficult as don't know many people. I am a nurse so work shifts but if I am free when you get together, I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
