International Babywearing week celebrations

We are celebrating International Babywearing week (21st-28th Sept) inconjunction with Southampton Sling meet. The celebration will take place in Bursledon, Southampton at the Windmill Childrens centre which is where the Southampton Sling meet takes place. We've chosen to hold it there as there centre has more space then ours. Details on how to get to the centre can be found on the Southampton Sling meet website . Though I have been there and it is quite easy to get there from Bursledon train station, just a 10-15min walk.

There will be a cake stall (please do brings cakes along to sell), and a charity raffle/auction. The Southampton Sling library will also be there to try on.

We have received some very generous donations for our charity raffle/auction:
The prizes to be auctioned include

An Onbag which is a fantastic babywearing bag. (I have one and love it!)

A custom made Dreampod which is a Podaegi baby sling

A Napsack which is a Mei Tai kindly donated by Slingjax

The raffle prizes will include:

Babylegs - legwarmers for babys in slings
Slingview mirror - a little mirror to hang on your sling to look at baby when in a sling on your back
And money off vouchers to Natural Nursery, Natural Connection, Little Possums, Tumbebe

All money raised from the raffle/auction and cake sale will be donated to Best Beginnings.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Change to meeting day/time

The meetings are now going to be Thursday mornings from 10am-12pm, still at the Kings centre. Sorry to anyone who preferred having it on a Friday, but the meetings have been very quiet so I thought a change of day/time may work better. The next meetings are on:

Thursday 13th Aug 10-12pm
Thursday 10th Sept 10-12pm (to be confirmed)

As you may be aware I run this group on a voluntary basis because this is something I am passionate about. But if the attendance to the group does not improve over the next couple of meetings I will probably stop running it for now.
