April Meet April 21, 2009
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closedOur April meet was the first one to be held in our new venue. Some people had trouble finding us, so we will be adding further directions before our next meet! The older children had a lovely time playing outside in the sunshine, leaving their Mums free to play with the large selection of slings that we had available to try out. Thanks go to Emily Light, The Family Support Outreach Worker at the Children’s Centre for entertaining the children during the session.
