Which gate was suggested earlier? Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SunDreamer Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'm ok with Tues afternoon, 23rd March, and am looking forward to it. I guess earlier in the afternoon is better for people with other kids. Is 12.30 / 1.00 appropriate??? I only have a three month old so i'm flexible on time. Did we say gate E, by the childrens garden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vicky66 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 12.30 to 1-ish is good for me. We'll bring a sandwich. I'll look for Gate E but I haven't been before. Do you know anything about parking round there? Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SunDreamer Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I think there are meters for a couple of hours but I'm not sure how easy it is to get a space. I might go by public transport and walk from the city. I need the exercise anyway!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SunDreamer Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Just a quick reminder for tomorrow. 12.30/1.00pm by the children's garden, by gate E in the Botanical Gardens. (I'll be there nearer 1.00pm) just a thought so we can recognise each other, I have a red Phil & Teds push chair, & will have my hair up. Anyone else have anything to note them by?....

Guest SunDreamer Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well it was a bit confusing last week with the meet up location and I'm not sure if anyone else made it, but I did manage to catch up with Lisa. Is anyone up for another go? Would a Friday be better? I'm open to suggestions on location, it doesn't have to be the same. The afternoon works well for me though.

Guest Clairey23 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hi Sheryl & Charlie I just came across your post. I have just moved to Melbourne with my husband and daughter who is 2yrs. I would love to meet up with other mums and share tips about Oz. Would be great to meet up. Look forward to hearing from you.

Guest fran Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hello, I have just come across this thread - am I too late?!?? My husband and I moved here from London on a 457 visa (i.e for 4 years) 2.5 years ago. My daughter is now 3 months old and I would love to meet up with some other new mums. I'm off work until Jan 2011 and I think I might go mad without adult company once in a while! I live in Hawthorn and don't have a car but am happy to jump on a tram and meet up somewhere central.

Guest MartinandKaroline Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hello ladies, I just thought I'd mention that there's an established UK mothers meetup that takes place every Wednesday at Hampton Community Centre from 10-12 (or 10.30, I've never got there that early to find out!). They also organise nights out for dads. There's a minimal fee of around $4ish per child but there are toys, an outside play area and a kitchen where you can make yourself a coffee. The bayside area attracts a lot of expats so you're guaranteed to hear a familiar accent if you head down that way. Hampton St also has a Treats from Home shop. Hope this helps. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sally04 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Just come across this thread. Myself and OH live in Elwood, we have a 4 week old daughter and so would be interested in meeting other new parents in the local area. Also, If anyone fancies meeting locally for a coffee during the week for a general catch up then please feel free to PM me, some grown up conversation would be great!! S.

Guest lydiak Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have just joined this forum as we are moving to Melbourne late August/early September and it is very comfortng to see other Brit mums trying to arrange meet ups. I will have an 8 week old (roughly!) and a 24 month old and am keen to meet other mums when we get out there so if you now have an established group who meet regularly, hopefully it will still be going in Sept so I can come along. I''ll keep checking this forum but if meet ups are arranged another way can someone let me know?? Also, great to hear about the playgroup in Hampton - we don't know where w'll be renting but if anyone knows of any similar playgroups elsewhere can you let me know as it may influence our location decision! Thanks, lydia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmafaye Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hi, We are relocating to Williamstown in 4 weeks, and as hubby will be out forging relationships at his new work, I am keen to throw myself in at the deep end and meet up/tag along/join any playgroups etc going! Ive noted this thred is a little out of date - are any of these meet-ups still happening? Could i possibly tag along with my 4 year old too???? (pretty please?)

sheryljae Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 hi emma firstly, good luck with the move, williamstown is so lovely (although probably a bit blustery at this time of year) fabulous ice cream shops for when the weather gets better.... so, although i started this thread i never actually managed to meet up with any of the girls, don't know if anyone else did - although co-incidently i'm actually now very friendly with one girl (claire who posted here) who i met through some other friends. anyway we're based over the other side of town so i don't know much about what happens "over the bridge" as they say, but a good place to start would be your local playgroup. see the link below: http://www.playgroup.org.au/Playgroup/FindaPlaygroup.aspx also, people are super friendly and you're going to meet people when your little one goes to Kinder etc. since i started this thread i've now got another bub too so i'm off on maternity leave again. send me a message when you get here and you're settled and we can meet up for coffee, i love williamstown so it's a perfect excuse for a trip. enjoy your last few weeks in the uk and enjoy the warm weather, it's cold, cold cold here this week.... well, it's about 13 degrees but it feels freezing sheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hi, I would love to meet some people too. I'm 4 months pregnant! so no baby yet, but will be soon, just after new year. I live in Reservoir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
