motherof2 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Well we've finally arrived and are looking to settle in Highton/Belmont. If anyone is up for a meet and a chin wag we'd really appriciate it. Have had some great support for Leila & her family over the last few days for which I am very grateful for. She said there's a great PiO crowd down here - so prove it:biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernie inn Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi my name is Chris, and i'm a pom that lives in Belmont. I have a wife (also called Sue bizarrely) and a 3 year old. We are originally from Liverpool and like it here although the lack of decent bacon is somewhat disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't made my mind up yet but I think it's important to support your local team. As for getting into AFL from what I've seen on TV and the one and only match I've been to it's a better game to watch compared to UK footie IMO (probably get shot down for that but I hated UK footie with a passion!)

Harpodom Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 OK, enough already. who wants to meet up for beers? I'm thinking Scottish Chiefs or Bended Elbow. I'm thinking weekend after next.
