sheryljae Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just wondering if there are any new mums out there? We've been here 6 weeks now and our son Charlie is 4 months old. We've been meeting loads of australian people at mothers groups etc and it's great to have oz friends and everyone's been really really lovely. However, if there are enough of us I thought it might be nice to start a UK mums "mothers group" to meet every so often to share what we have learnt about oz, places to go with kids, things to do etc. we're based in caulfield (sort of inner south east) but have a car so can travel. Any mums welcome even if your kids are a bit older. Any dads welcome too of course. Looking forward to meeting up soon.

taffNstef Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi Sheryl My little boy is one so I'm not sure if I'm still considered a new mum but it's all still new to me :-) I'm from Melbourne but I've been in the UK for the last 5 years where I met my husband, he's welsh. We're near Doncaster which is not too far from Caulfield. If you're interested in meeting up, PM me. Cheers, Stef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vicky66 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I have 2 kids (1&4) and I would love to try another mothers group. They're just not the same here so an English one would be great. I'm on the wrong side of the city but I would try to make it. I've been here 3 months.

I have a car here though and would be happy for my little one to meet more friends :-) and me too! PM me if you are interested in meeting up.

Guest SunDreamer Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Kate, Thanks for your offer, hopefully some of us mums can get together through this post. I am Loving the weather here! I love the reduced traffic too, compared to where I used to live in England (driving standards here are a bit dodgey though to say the least :wacko:) What can I say....sun sun and more sun, it's great. :jiggy: Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheryljae Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 hi all so it does seem that there are a few of us dotted around.... not sure of a logical place for a meet up - maybe royal botanical gardens whilst the weather's nice? but open to suggestions we've all got kids so i guess the mornings are ok..... is monday morning (1st march) too soon for a few of us to get together?

Guest Vicky66 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 A meet up sounds good but I'm new to forums and I don't know how to Pm People! You all seem to be on the east. Can anyone suggest a soft play centre or somewhere east/north we can go? I'm coming in from Melton but I can come round to the east of the city if you're all round there. What day is best? I prefer afternoons. Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vicky66 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Botanical gardens would be good. Can't do Mon or Thurs as the older one is at Kinder. Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SunDreamer Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ha ha, I don't know how to PM people either, what a novice I am! I'm good for Mon and Fri next week, after that any day is good. I can do the Botanical Gardens, although I'm sure they are pretty big, so can anyone suggest a meeting place, and time? - am ok with an alternative suggestion too.

sheryljae Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Shall we try for Friday morning (5th march) - Gate E - Royal Botanical Gardens at 10.30am?? There's a cafe and /or trees to sit under and it's near the children's garden for those with kids of garden appreciating age (charlie at 4 months is just a bit too young!!)
