16 of us from the Baby Group went out to Arom-Thai in Nantwich last night. We had a great time! I will organise another for the end of July.

We have now got our own Facebook page! Find us by searching for Nantwich Baby Group in Facebook.

Five members of the Nantwich Baby Group dusted off their trainers and ran the Tatton Park Cancer Research 5k Race for Life last week.

Alison Bowett, Louisa Duckmanton, Sarah Phillips, Nikki Francomb and Abi O’Donnell completed the course in 34 minutes and raised over £350 for this important charity.

Co-founder Alison Bowett states “Louisa had the idea of entering the race as a great way to get fit as well as raise money for charity. We started training 6 weeks ago, twice a week and soon improved. ’ The race has given them the running bug, says Alison “We are starting to train for the 10k next. Maybe we will attempt the Marathon next year!”

Last week saw nearly 30 mums and babies/toddlers come along to our coffee morning. Quite a few of you went along to Sharon’s Baby Sign class from 11 till 11.30, and we heard lots of lovely singing!

We even did some singing of our own last week, changing the format of the coffee morning slightly so we all cleared the toys away 20 minutes before the end, then enjoyed a nice sing song! We even had song sheets for those of us who can’t remember the words to all the songs.

If you haven’t been before, why not come along and see if you enjoy it too?

It’s the Baby Group’s 1st birthday!

I can’t believe it’s been a year since Toni and I jokingly said we should start our own baby group, and look where we are now! We are so pleased its been embraced and you mums and babies enjoy being a part of it. Its wonderful to see the friendships that have been forged through the group.

It would be nice to have a bit of food, so if you are coming can you bring a little something suitable for the mums and something for the babies? For example some cookies for the mums and a packet of rice cakes for the babies! Then we can put it all together and have a bit of a picnic. If you get halfway to the party and realise you have forgotten any food, don’t worry and come along anyway. I am sure there will be plenty!

I am going to make a birthday cake and if you have any balloons etc hanging around, bring them along. Don’t worry if you are going to go along to Sharon’s baby sign class as we will wait to cut the cake until after the class at 11.30. I hope you can all make it to celebrate with us.

Alison and Helen from the Nantwich Baby Group are featured in an article about how mums meet in this months issue of Pregnancy and Birth magazine!

They travelled down to London in December for the photoshoot and interview and are delighted to see it in print and publicise the baby group.

If you are pregnant or have a baby and want to be kept up to date with what is happening in the Baby Group please email nantwichbabygroup@hotmail.co.uk or fill in your details in the ‘contact us’ page.

As of 27th October, the Nantwich Baby Group will be holding our coffee mornings at Market Street Church Hall in Nantwich on a Tuesday morning from 10.30am to 12 noon (if you are standing with the Civic Hall entrance directly behind you, it is on the other side of the road attached to the car park).

As we are having to hire the hall, we ask for a £1 donation each week you attend to go towards the hire as well as the tea, coffee and juice we will provide.

The baby group will always be a non profit group and if there is ever more money collected than it has cost, it will go towards toys for the group or something like a Christmas party.

We hope to see you there!

There are 50 mums who are members of the Nantwich Baby Group but there is always room for more! If you are expecting or have a baby, why not come along to one of our coffee mornings or events?

Everyone is welcome. We hope to see you soon!

Our baby group is doing really well with lots of new faces coming along to our coffee mornings and events. If you would like to be sent an email each Monday saying what we have got going on that coming week, just email nantwichbabygroup@hotmail.co.uk or go the ‘contact us’ page and we would be happy to include you.

Anyone with a baby is welcome at our coffee mornings or events. There is no charge and we are a nice bunch of people! We hope to see you soon.

On Monday we had our first coffee morning at the Children’s Center in Nantwich. Lots of people turned up and the babies had fun playing with the toys on offer while the mums had a chat and catch up.
