Southampton Sling Meet celebrates International Babywearing Week 2009 July 21, 2009
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closed
We are celebrating IBW with a joint event with Portsmouth Sling Meet. We will be meeting at our usual venue, the Windmill Children’s Centre, on Monday 21st September, from 1 until 3pm. There will be a cake stall (please do bring along cakes or biscuits for us to sell) and a charity raffle/auction as well as the usual opportunity to try out a selection of slings. Please note that we may not have all of our usual slings available to try out as some may have been hired out at our September meet a few weeks earlier.
We have had some very generous donations for the charity raffle and auctions.
The prizes which will be auctioned include:
an Onbag Classic (kindly donated by Onbag)
a custom made DreamPod (kindly donated by DreamPod)
a Napsack (kindly donated by Sling Jax)
And the prizes in the raffle include:
Baby Legs (kindly donated by Tumbebe and Portsmouth Sling Meet)
Sling View mirrors (kindly donated by Southampton Sling Meet)
and money off vouchers, kindly donated by Natural Nursery, Natural Connection, Little Possums and Tumbebe.
All proceeds from the auctions, raffle and cake sale will go to Best Beginnings.
We look forward to seeing you at our IBW celebrations!

Another busy meet today July 6, 2009
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closedThe July meet was another busy one. This was especially nice to see as the Southern Daily Echo came along today to talk to the parents who were there and take some pictures. Look out for us the paper next Tuesday (14th July) and also again in September to mark International Babywearing Week. We are planning a joint event with Portsmouth Sling Meet to mark IBW – look out for more details nearer the time.
We hope that everyone that hired slings will enjoy using them this month and look forward to seeing you all again at our next meet, which is on Thursday, August 6th.
