A new intro from an old hand  :)

I have now become NZ's latest immigrant. I will be initially living in Kaikohe, up in the Far North.
I have a second interview on the 7th for a job at the same place my wife has a job, so fingers crossed.
The container with all our worldly goods arrives early November, so not sure when my next gaming will be...

Cheers

Glad you arrived safe and sound. Fingers crossed that your wargames stuff does too. A friend of mine was in NZ during the last World Cup and couldn't believe the tension there during the tournament. I'm sure it's the same this time around.

Very, very best of luck in your 'new venture', Ian !  :)
Hope the second interview goes well.   :-bd

Cheers - Phil

Great news, really good to to hear you've arrived safely, I hope your possessions do as well!  My brother-in-law's stuff survived the journey without any problems when he emigrated.

We'll be expecting some pictures of this strange New World as well...  :D
