The details are as follows: Date - Sunday 7th July  Time - 10am to 12 noon Place - Essendon Playgroup (Sturt St Essendon) For those of you who have not attended previously, this event is a relaxed drop in session, with no RSVP required, and is open for all members to attend.

There are microwave facilities for warming bottles etc, and a baby change room. We would love to make you a hot cuppa, so you can take a break and meet some other parents of multiples, and make some wonderful connections while doing this. There is also a lovely outdoor play area for older children to keep busy in the fresh air! We look forward to seeing you there!
