I'm moving to Southville at the end of this month and don't know a soul in Bristol. Moving from London for work. Have DD (11). Would love to come to a meet-up/Christmas event and get to know people Smile

Helloooo Mrs Wembley. Not sure I approve of this as surely this is taking valuable time away from your reading? But I would be up for a meeting - freckledLeopard, I am southville, whereabouts are you? I am near Dame Emily Park and the swimming pool.

M44 · 04/10/2012 12:00

Waves and says hello......I would be interested....

MrsWembley · 04/10/2012 12:56

I'm moving to Upton Road at the end of the month. Not sure where it's near as I really don't know the area! Please tell me lots of nice things about it!

Spero · 04/10/2012 15:26

North street and the Tabacco factory are great - we can walk to SS great Britain and the arnolfini in 15 mins. ashton court is beautiful and a great place to walk the dog. I am going to a v interesting sounding debate between Christopher hitchens and Howard Marks at the Arnolfini at end of October!

I do miss London but I could never afford to live there and have a much better quality of life in Bristol.

QueenofWhatever · 04/10/2012 15:59

Count me in! I live up the Glocker.

MsIngaFewmarbles · 04/10/2012 16:38

An' I

freetoanyhome · 04/10/2012 17:10

where n when? Somewhere central cos of buses

MrsWembley · 04/10/2012 22:45

Right, this makes 10 of us now! Is that a party yet?

Actually, two people can make a party if they're the right people and god only knows, Mumsnetters are always the right people for a party.Grin

freeto Until we know if there's going to be lots or just a few of us, I don't want to look into venues, although I have a couple of places in mind. Walking distance from the centre ok?

And could people put in their thoughts about whether they'd want a few canapes, a buffet or something sit down-ish?

Or just a couple of bottles of gin put behind the bar...

Hello MrsWembly and all! What a treat to find this post. I'm moving to Bristol soon, looks like it's a very friendly place with loads going on. Wish I could join you but doubt I'll be there as soon as Christmas, more like next Summer. Have a good party Smile

xkcdfangirl · 05/10/2012 18:36

Of course! What a good idea.

EwanHoozami · 05/10/2012 18:47

Oh YES please!

apis are you moving from somewhere close enough that you can come join us and we can regale you on the joys of Brizole for the evening?

BobblyOrangeGoldGussets · 05/10/2012 18:54

I would like it as long as we aren't going clubbing or to one of loud pumping music bars where you can't have a nice sit down and a chat.

I am in Portishead and I know Dolcegusto is here too.

Can I come please?

freetoanyhome · 05/10/2012 19:35

anywhere close to bus stops/taxi ranks and, just to be fussy, wheelchair friendly. Pub with food?
