MEETING PEOPLE

As a new parent it helps to know other parents living locally - people with children the same age. Through the NCT, you can be part of a network of parents and baby groups. In Mendip we run a range of different events. Some held in each others houses and some run in locals halls rather like a playgroup.

It's a great way to meet other parents, share information, swap experiences and we aim to offer support and friendship in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We run the following meetings:

If you would like to find out dates and venues for all these meetings please contact us, refer to the listings in our newsletter or see our events diary.

For Coffee Groups, please phone the organiser in advance to check location details and that the event is still happening - unforseen changes do occur resulting in events being altered or cancelled.

Why not host a Coffee Group yourself? It's a great way to meet people in similar situations to yourself, without even having to leave the comfort of your own home. Anyone can host one - just give us a ring!

Please note that at all venues mothers are welcome to breastfeed at any time and a separate room will be made available if they or their babies prefer. There will also be facilities for warming bottles.

We are now asking for a small 50p donation when you attend one of our meetings. As a branch we have many indirect costs to cover and we need revenue to keep the branch going. We appreciate your support and understanding. Thank You.
