Bridge Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi everyone,I tried to make a provisional booking for us at the Irene Country Lodge.However, I was informed by Zelda that they only offer a buffet meal, no ala carte menu at that time, and as we are over 20 people, we would have to pay a venue fee of R500.00. Thus, the change in venue to The Irene Dairy, just further down the road from the lodge. Irene Dairy are happy to have us and will seat us at 2 large tables(look out for the Aussie flags) under the trees, where there's lots of place for the kids.I hope this doesn't deter you from joining us and I'll send all who have submitted a RSVP a PM to remind you.See you then Bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisvdb Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi AllI am new to this forum. What is the PTA coffe club all about?RegardsChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridge Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi Chris,Basically, it's few of us(well 46 at present) that get together, all at different stages in the immigration process. We just chat about what we've all gone through. It's nice to meet people who are in the same boat as you and who can offer you support, advice and can share your excitement.Hope to see you there, Bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisvdb Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 HI BridgeI am in the process of emigrating to. Very beginning stages I must add. I am still looking for career opportunities but are struggling to get any.What is the demographics of the club?As I am 24, male, AfrikaansRegards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridge Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Chris, We are a medley of people as you probably gathered from this forum.We are varying ages, occupations, genders, and some are parents. We speak English and Afrikaans, some are married, some not, we all want or are in the process of Immigrating and we all live in and around PTA. Any more specific, I'm afraid you'll have to come meet us yourself The idea is to meet people(yes strangers ) who share your enthusiasm for OZ and who can offer advice or support in this adventure called Immigration.Bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bronwyn Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) I hope someone has warned Irene Dairy to stock up on extra seating and munchies, as well as an extra waiter or two, it sounds like it's going to be huge!
