Also, dont worry if you are a little late or just want to join in for a drink, everyone is welcome :) PLEASE NOTE : Please get a ticket when you receive an invite via email, you don't have to pay but it's just so we can get an idea of numbers in order to book a table

Come along to our playgroup in a lovely, big church hall. There's toys for all ages and lots of space for the little ones to run/crawl/toddle around in. There's a hot cuppa for the adults and snacks for the children and we'll have a little sing-a-long too. Playgroup is free to attend but when we have Lily there doing the singing then we ask for a voluntary contribution to help pay for this. There are parking spaces outside the church but it's permits only between 10&12 and you can only pay to park for an hour at a time. There are spaces round the corner on Atkins Road where you can park for longer. There are bus routes which stop nearby and it's a 10 ish minute walk from Balham station. Please note : To gain entry, please press the buzzer for 'Church' and one of us will let you in. Also, if your little ones are older and not sleeping, the church would prefer it if you left your buggy outside in the buggy park.   

A playgroup for all ages but more suited to toddlers and older. This playgroup is run by WTC volunteers once a month on a trial basis for now.   

Come and join us at our annual Family Summer Picnic, a great chance to meet other families of multiples and sit and relax in the sunshine (ok, so it's not always relaxing with twins, and we may not have the sunshine, but we can hope!)  It's a BYO picnic, we'll have a bouncy castle, face painter and Lisa from Dantastic will be there to keep the little ones entertained. It's a massive field so the little ones can play football, cricket, run around etc but it's a contained area so they're safe! And if the good old British weather fails us then we can all shelter in the pavilion! Tickets are £8 per family and we'll be at St Michael's Church Field and Pavillion, Viewfield Road, SW18 5JE. There are parking spaces right outside with no restrictions on a Saturday.
