Calling all kiwis

[Marlsnz]

I would be free to catch up in ChCh either after work (excl Wednesdays) or on the weekend.
How do we make this happen?

[Ladybird]

Hi Marlsnz,
Lets wait a week or so to see what responses come in and then we can set up something.
There is a lovely Cafe (been open about 12mths) called Mielu - not sure of the spelling - (pronounced Meal You) in Wrights Rd Addington (off Blenheim Road) not far from the entrance to Westpac Stadium and the raceway. I know they are open Fri nights (Sat am) and I'll check what other nights too. Parking is easy - (FOOD LOOKS GREAT!!!!!! ......but coffee is excellent).

Sounds good
Addington not far from me, so your pick of cafe also perfect

Hi Cohen Kiwis, first, welcome to Carolyn.It is great to have you here.
I do not yet know when I will be in Christchurch but hopefully before Winter is over so when I know I am coming I will check with you all and see if it suits you folk to meet up. All the best everyone.

[Chen]

I'm another Chch Kiwi and would like to join in a get together. Milieu is VERY NICE!

[Ladybird]

Hi Chen, what time suits you, after work (not Wed) ? Sat am?

[Chen]

Sat morning would suit me fine, not free Monday or Thursday nights.

A Kiwi meetup ? Lucky it's this year. If you were having it next year, during a Rugby World Cup year, you'd most like choke on your crackers.

[Ladybird]

We could have one next year toooooo - we'd only need a very small venue to fit our svelte like bodies into by then.
Mind you I guess there won't be much room in NZ during the rugby World Cup as the place would be full of Aussies (and Poms) trying to get as close as they can to the trophy which they wouldn't ever see at home

How about we make a time and then I can book a table just in case it's busy there.
Let me know if you can make it.

PS - Just mention the "kiwi catch up" at the counter and I'll ask them to point us in the right direction. Mind you it will be the only table without food

[winghama]

At this stage, I can do next Saturday and it is only minutes from where I live - bonus!!

[Chen]

Suits me, see you there.

[Marlsnz]

Works for me too

Thanks so much to the lovely ChCh ladies for a great catchup yesterday
Ladybird, Chen and Winghama it was fabulous to meet you, hear your stories, listen to your advice and have a lot of laughs in the process.
Ladybird - you look sensational - so motivating for me at this stage!!!
I look forward to meeting up with you all again.

[forfreddie]

hi ladies

Ladybird and winghama have let me know about the chch catch up in June. Would love to join you and share some top tips.

My friend from Wanaka is moving up to Christchurch in the next few weeks and she has been doing Cohens since Nov so she may be keen to come too.

Confirm with the closer to the date.
