Di&Gary Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thank you very much Serendipity for organising such a wonderful event, we really enjoyed it. Thanks also to CraigSA - that document is exactly what we needed. Thank you Francois (Herby) for your valuable advice, we have submitted to PT Labs and await his reply. Who knows - maybe we won't have to go the RPL route after all!Thanks to Mark and Heather for 'breaking the ice' with us, hopefully we'll see you guys in Perth some day soon!We were really sorry to have to leave so early, would have loved to stay longer, have a drink or 3 and have more discussions with everyone. But Gary had a big exam to study for, which he passed with flying colours thank goodness (all helping towards getting a good ACS assessment).We really enjoyed it and look forward to the next one.Di&Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendie Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I would not have eaten the cake! It's too beautiful! Wonderful effort Serendipity! This forum and the people it attracts keeps on amazing me. I am not around here much, but I am honoured to be part of this community too!Enjoy!@Serendipity why don't you open yourself an account with Flickr? It's a free picture hosting service (there are others too, but this one is my favourite) and you can post links to photos you have on there to your posts here.

Serendipity Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Well done Simpsons...proud of you for offering (or being coerced, not sure which?)ahhhh Mara, no intimidation was used at all - just a short brief discussions at the last get together - the running was between Kyto and Simpsons to start.I would like to think Simpsons offered out of her own right?and this now gives us an excuse to get together again with them for coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpsons Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Mara, As I said before, Serendipity has set the bar high, GULP. But it would be an absolute pleasure, I would love to contribute a little too. Will have to get the details for the "sisters" to attend too, they are a little like the coffee club furniture now!Kyto, Abso-friggin-lutely, I will definately take you up on all the help you offer, SO BEWARE, RUN!Serendipity, Sounds GRRRREEEEAAAAT, with the ideas from yours and Stranded's coffee clubs, I can't go wrong! Waiting for the coffee invite, hell lets have a packing party, we'll be there!!!Lata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray1973 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 G'Day,I'm trying to find the family who attended our last Coffee Club at Dros Edenvale with their son on his way to University in Brisbane. Would like to find out who they used to help with the Student Visa. They were sitting at the end of the table across Serindipity's table.Thank you.Ray1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
