celeste Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Razorwelcome to the site.What happened to all the durban based forumites? I know some of us have already left these shores but others have gone very quiet? We had just three families at the last coffee club but it was great chatting none the less. Please someone suggest a date for the next gathering. May i suggest botanic gardens again as it is a great venue for the kids if it is not raining.

Camper Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Come now guys, a few of us leave and the coffee club comes to a stand still. It is the best place to meet and talk about what you are going through, we met a wonderful bunch of people through the Durban coffee club.CheersCamper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Hi RazorUnfortunately we have something on until 2.30pm on that sunday but we can meet up with everyone after our earlier appointment so please feel free to suggest a time and we'll just arrive later. The afternoon is better as we have church in the morning.Camper: Great to see you rustling the people together albeit from across the ocean - and that was great news on your job offer! Please give my best regards to your family.Flockie and Romar: Someone left a pair of girls slops (pink and blue with butterflies) at my place on saturday. I thought they belonged to Romar's little girl and sent a text msg but no reply. Do they belong with your family perhaps flockie? cheersC Edited January 11, 2008 by celeste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celeste: No, we did not leave any flops behind. Must be Romar's.Looking forward to seeing you on the 3rd.Razor : The Durban Botanic Gardens is situated opposite the GREYVILLE RACECOURSE. This is where the Durban July is always held.Centenary Road runs between the Racecourse and the Gardens. If you need to get your bearings, check out http://maps.yellowpages.co.za. Search, Centenary Road, Greyville, KZN. This will help. Great, Im excited to have a bigger group of people attending. Cheers Flockie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Razormay I suggest that we meet in front of the orchid house near the Koi pond? The gardens are pretty big and i think it would be a mission to traipse around looking for people that we haven't met stopping to ask groups if they are from the forum. What do you think?cheersL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sure thing Celeste...See you all thereRegards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoMar Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hey CelesteThat's a great idea - know how we felt the last time looking for you guys! Really hope that it's going to be a lovely day so that all the kids can play.RoMar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Congratulations Candi and Mau...I am married two years now with the first baby about to pop out anytime now. I live in Austerville near Brighten Beach and have visited New Zealand, but since all my family are now in Aussie hence the move. It is an absolutely wonderful place and I suggest you guys don't give up just yet...if you are keen make that move.Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that there is no point to you coming to the coffee club. We are still in the information gathering phase and havent done our assessments or IELTS as yet. I attended the first CC for this year and it was so much fun. Heres why:1. I got to hang with similar minded people and chat about "Australian Dreams" 2. I bounced off a few ides about the way we were approaching the application and was offered an alternative. 3. I was given sincere advice.4. At the end I left motivated and more geared to pursue this dream of mine.5. Its amazing how complete strangers can offer so much support. To the rest of the Durbanites: See you all on the 3rd.

Mauritzvw Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I will speak to hubby and see if we can make it!!Candice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Firstly congrats on your big day , glad to see you are still thinking about leaving. Don't stop get on with your application, start appling for jobs and get out of there.CheersCamper and Family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
