Outdoor Playgroup
Nelson Park
9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Let's get this year started with some fresh air and keep those germs at bay with some sunshine (fingers crossed, I'm looking at you La Nina). We usually bring our giant club picnic blanket for all to share, but this year, we will encourage our families to BYO rug, drinks and snacks and let's carry on, shall we?!   Best access is from Katoa Street, but there is limited parking there.  Drive-thru coffee nearby at McDonalds or Zarraffas, or a short walk through the park to Francis Bean on Mari Street (which has more car parking). Just look for the double prams (and check our Facebook page on the day for a photo so you can find us!)

Rosebed & Finch
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
The club is hosting a casual catch-up for our newer members with bubs under the age of one. Join us anytime between 10 and 12.  It's hard to schedule around naps, but if you can come, even for half an hour right at the end, we'd love to see you. SCMBA is working really hard to provide opportunities for members to meet each other, to create space for the conversations between parents who really understand life with multiples.  Our President Jasmin van den Berg will be there sans-children, so if you are worried about doing it on your own, she will be there to lend a hand. There is also an event organised by the cafe on-site that day, with a professional photographer pop-up, so if you want a pretty snap with you and the kids, here's the link to book.  #notspon (!)  https://www.rosebedandfinch.com.au/collections/school-holidays/products/wednesday-30th-june-family-photo-session-with-amie-school-holidays
