New venue from the April meet onwards! February 6, 2009

We are very pleased to announce that as from the April 09 Sling Meet, we will be meeting at the new Windmill Children’s Centre which is situated between Bursledon Infant and Junior Schools on Long Lane, Bursledon. This new venue provides us with a dedicated children’s play area to entertain the little ones and an adjoining room in which to lay out and try on all of the slings. We will also have the facilities to provide tea and coffee. Car parking is available on the road outside the schools, or in the car park at Great Down Park, which is on the opposite side of the road. The Children’s Centre is the white building, in the schools’ grounds, between the two school buildings. To get there on public transport, you need to get a train to Bursledon station (which is then about a 10-15 minute walk from the venue) or First bus routes 16A, 72, 78, 79 or 80 which all stop in Lowford (which is then around a 5-10 minute walk to the venue).

Going from strength to strength! February 6, 2009

The February Sling Meet was a big success. We were pleased to welcome 11 mums with their babies and toddlers and 3 of these mums took slings away with them from the library to try out at home. There was a lovely social atmosphere again and all of the children had fun playing together (see pics below!). The next meet will take place on Monday 2nd March – more details to follow.

Our February meet takes place this week:

1-3pm, Thursday 5th February in the Cypress Room at St Paul’s Church, Oak Road, Bursledon, SO31 8DT (check out where we will be on this map)

There will be a range of slings for you to try out, along with friendly advice on how to use the slings. You will also be able to hire the slings from the library between this meet and the next one, for a charge of just £2 (although we do also require a deposit to cover the cost of the sling in case of damage or non-return). Check out what we have in the library and the deposit required for hire by clicking here. We hope to see you on Thursday!

We will be confirming the dates for the next few meets shortly, so please check the website over the next week or so for further details.
