List of drop-in playgroups in the area

[Maria]

Yes, it is great to have regular updates on what is going on, as options change so often - that is the difficulty of the Council website which can at times be badly out of date and leave out a few new brilliant initiatives. At times there are "one off" events (for example in the Library) which could easily be advertised here as newsflashes with maximum impact

Mazzer - you are obviously very, very good at this ( ) so would you consider doing an all at a glance page again so we can then go on enriching as time goes by?

Admin - thank you from me too re the pinning of the brilliant thread on ... what is it... fabulous family outings near us or something similar. I wondered.... would it be asking too much to pin this one too? There are, as Rararachael says, so many new things springing up contstantly, and so, so many new families currently moving to Sydenham, this information is vital for old and new.

Many thanks to all

Maria, and others, there is no need to use a clumsy thread for this sort of information because a very clever lady has made a brilliant website: http://se26kids.com/ it has everything you need to know about playgroups and what's on for kids in the area.

Enjoy!
