Reminder – new venue March 15, 2009
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closedOur next meet is from 1 until 3pm on Thursday 2nd April and we will be meeting at the new Windmill Children’s Centre which is situated between Bursledon Infant and Junior Schools on Long Lane, Bursledon, SO31 8BZ. 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).

March meet was another busy one! March 5, 2009
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closedThe March Sling Meet took place on Monday 2nd and we had another very pleasing turn-out. We had our highest ever number of very young babies and therefore the demand for stretchy wraps was high. As a result, we have contacted some more manufacturers and have at least one more wrap on its way to the library – look out for our new arrival(s) at the next meet!
Our next meet is on Thursday April 2nd and will be at our new venue – please see posts further down on this page for details. We hope to see you there.
Here are some photos from the meet:
