NETWORKING and PLATFORMING ! ! !

The things we get up to!!

Centrepoint, the English speaking club we belong to in Basel, is having an Aussie Night in September and Roger and I have volunteered to help out! We had our first meeting last night and I managed to round up 5 people. The lady who is suppose to be organizing the event completely forgot about the evening and I had to remind her it was on! Ah, it's great to be around Aussies!

So, we're looking for 'all things Aussie'! Do you think we thought about this sort of event when we left Australia? NOT AT ALL!!

We've also been invited to go on a Youth Camp for Germany speaking young people at the end of August and will be putting on an Aussie Night there as well. We'd better get cracking with ideas.

Any Aussies out there reading this blog want to help us gather things together! All help would be much appreciated!

MOSAIC PICNIC IN THE PARK

Today has dawned bright and clear with 31degress predicted. We have our Mosaic picnic and we're both really looking forward to it. As usual we have no idea how families will turn up, though we do know our dear friends Bernhard and Lorraine from Basel will be there!

Today is Bastille Day and we've been told a lot of the French will be coming across the border to shop in Germany as the shops will be closed in France!!
