david_ED Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hello!I know a lot of kiwi families live around ED and someone mentioned that they thought there was a kiwi family group that met up? If not, would anyone be interested in starting a group? Help remember childhood favourites like Oma Rapeti?!Also, has anyone been to the Kohanga Reo? My little one is a year old, not sure if that is too young...Oh, and for some reason my husbands ED name is linked to my email, I'm Caroline!

niwi Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi,I'm a kiwi in ED. When I first moved to the area a few years ago there was a forum thread about Kiwi families meeting up. I never went along (as was pregnant with my first at the time) so am not sure if anything came of this. I'm sure someone will be along soon who might know more about this. Either way I'm happy to meet up as I want my kids to be in touch with their kiwi side too!

Pickle Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hello.Another kiwi Mum here. I went along a few years back to a couple of coffee meet ups, but didn't really follow up on it and I'm not sure if it carried on or not.I always meant to go to Kohanga, but Saturday mornings always seem busy, so we've never made it. We did go to the hangi that they are part of a couple of years ago, which was great. I YouTube clips of the traditional songs we did at school in an attempt to educate my 3 kids on the kiwi side of their heritage!We are moving to NZ at the end of this year, after 15 years in London. Happy to meet up - my kids are all at school now (youngest mornings only), but maybe we should try to arrange a kiwi picnic once the weather warms up?

Convex Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 to be honest i think it petered out because i was supposed to organise it... but would like to join if someone more organised than i can manage it!we can only meet weekends though.

david_ED Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Shall we meet up one weekend? We could do either the 30th April weekend or the 14th May. Peckham Rye park if the weather is good?

nbb Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 HiDid you kiwi lot meet up in the end, or have you scheduled for a later date? Our little NZ family would be keen to meet up with other NZ families. We can be around the next couple of weekends if that suits anyone?

Missjojo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hi. I'm a kiwi with a 4 and 1 year old who I'd love to have more kiwi in their lives. We'd be keen to meet up too.

Convex Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 yes i am still keen and still free on sunday the 15th, anyone else? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/102005-kiwi-family-group/#findComment-992846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I think we are free on Sun 15th (in the afternoon), would be good to meet up. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/102005-kiwi-family-group/#findComment-992872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_ED Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Sunday afternoon works for us too on the 15th. 2.30 at The Plough? Or happy if someone can think of somewhere else. We have a 1 year old so am not super familiar with the best family friendly places.

Pickle Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Sounds good - or if the weather looks nice, perhaps Peckham Rye park? Either near the cafe, or in the picnic area? Let's see what the forecast looks like nearer the time.

niwi Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 We are free too so count us in! The park is probably a better option for keeping the kids busy so I hope this nice weather stays!

nbb Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hi KiwisI so so so want to meet with you on the 15th, but sadly we're not going to be around that day. I'll hassle you for the next date though - my family needs a little kiwi too :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/102005-kiwi-family-group/#findComment-996718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missjojo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 We're also not able to come - we'll be at home counting chicken pox spots! See you all next time. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/102005-kiwi-family-group/#findComment-996720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bli Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'd be interested too, though my children are a little older- our youngest is six. But am actually in NZ for a few weeks, so hopefully next time. Enjoy. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/102005-kiwi-family-group/#findComment-996974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_ED Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Sorry we will miss some of you. Let's definitely get another date in soon.For Sunday - shall we meet outside the cafe in Peckham Rye park? I think there are picnic tables there, and then maybe head off to somewhere a bit greener in the park? You can spot us as we will be with the very blonde toddler.

I've met Convex before, for others we will be with three kids (my eldest son and middle daughter look like twins). Also have a blonde haired 4 year old girl. Chances are we all know each other anyway! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/102005-kiwi-family-group/#findComment-997551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
