Southampton Sling Meet joined forces with Portsmouth Sling Meet to celebrate International Babywearing Week 2009 with a special event on 21st September. The event was very well attended and we raised over £200 for our chosen charity, Best Beginnings.

We would like to thank our very generous supporters:

OnBag, DreamPod and Sling Jax who all donated prizes for our auctions

Tumbebe, Natural Nursery, Little Possums, Portsmouth Sling Meet, Southampton Sling Meet, Claire Westron and Sunvill Starzewska who all donated prizes for our raffle

Our September meet was another busy one and saw us loaning out the highest number of slings ever for people to try out at home for the month! We hope that everyone who took a sling home enjoys using it – please don’t forget to review it on here for the benefit of others who may not get a chance to try it out!

Our next meet takes place on October 1st, from 1-3pm at The Windmill Children’s Centre. However, don’t forget our special extra event in conjunction with Portsmouth Sling Meet this month to celebrate International Babywearing Week. We will be meeting on Monday 21st September, from 1-3pm at The Windmill Children’s Centre. There will be a chairty raffle and auction, with some fabulous prizes, and also a cake stall (do bring along some cakes to sell if you are able to). Please see our post about the IBW event further down this page for further info. Hope to see you there!
