Doortjie Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Was great to put faces to the forum-names.Thanks for attending! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniDachsie Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks to everyone for organising the day - I think it's a great way for families to meet other families. Unfortunately, being single, I felt the lack of other single, 30 something people around! Are they just not crazy enough to move on their own?!!! I'm getting close to becoming "DESPERATE" to meet other single SA 30 somethings!Mara, Doortjie, anyone - Is it just that people don't move across on their own? Or do they just not attend these gatherings? Or go on the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doortjie Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Ah damn!! Next time.....Hi Melbourne_againI think there's a lot of singles out there but they are reluctant to attend the get togethers. Maybe they think it is only for families and "old" people... How wrong are they?! If you send me a PM I will give you Herman's contact details. He knows a lot of younger singles - not only South Africans - and wouldn't mind if you contact him.Hang in there.
