Mumsnet Talk

Hi

Just to say I'm going to organise a meet for gay parents/parents to be in a coffee place in St Albans as I have located on various boards at least 3 couples. I will put details on here but it would be great if you could indicate any interest here.

Clare

Next meeting - let me know if you fancy joining us

Meeting point: Westminster lodge car park, St Albans (or nearby on field so we don't get run over)
Time: 11am Thur 23rd July
To go to: Splash park, Verulanium park http://www.inn-on-the-park.com/splashpark.php

Hi

St Albans gay parents/parents to be has now formalised it's meeting schedule.

We are now meeting 1st Mon/Wed of each month alternating between Mon/Wed each month at 11am.

The next meetings are

Mon 7 Sept & then Wed 7 Oct

The plan for Mon 7 Sept is currently Willows farm http://www.willowsfarmvillage.com/ - kids over 2 are charged but there are often kids go free vouchers, for example they are on the back of parking tickets in radlett at the moment so keep your eyes peeled. I think the cost may be £7 an adult as it is outside peak time (peak is £11.50). There are good picnic areas so I would suggest those that can go club together to make a picnic we can share.

Let me know if you can make the meetings so we can look out for everyone.

UPDATE

DJ Jungle Wed 7 Oct at 11am

www.djsjungleadventure.co.uk

The following month we meet Mon 2 Nov so put it in your diary (and send me any venue suggestions).

Just moved to the area. My partner and I are parents-to-be ... hopefully! Do you ever meet at weekends or evenings as we work on Mon/weds but would love to meet up with new friends.

I hope everyone is well & can make the next meet 11am Wed 2 Dec at Willows Farm http://www.willowsfarmvillage.com/ - it's been a while so I am looking forward to seeing you all.

We can meet by the2-4 area of Woolly Jumpers, the indoor soft play area (or in it). For lunch I suggest a packed lunch or eat in the cafe at woolly jumpers.

By our formula the next meeting should be 4 Jan (Mon) - it would behelpful to know if anyone can do this and if there is a venue suggestion (without a suggestion I will be suggesting soft play in Berkhamsted http://www.thekidzone.co.uk/about/index.html as long as itis open).

Let me know if you're coming!

(We are meeting weekdays at the moment but there is nothing to stop people who want to meet at other times joining the email list I do in addition to posting here & seeing if anyone else is up for this - just contact me with your email details)

I am looking forward to seeing a few of you on 4th Jan at Big Space in Harpenden http://www.bigspace.biz/ at 11am meeting up in the under3's area.

Let me know if you're coming so I can look out for you :-)

The following meet is Wed 3 Feb at 11. Any venue suggestions?

Next meeting we meet at 2pm onwards in DJ Jungle www.djsjungleadventure.co.uk on 10 May (2010)

I've decided we should play it safe (weatherwise) on venue but I'm hoping we can chance a picnic in the park later on in the year?

Please message me if you'd like to join us - we have a facebook group now on which I am better at posting details of monthly meetings

Hi, I am very interested in meeting other lesbian parents, we live in North London, only about 20 mins from St Albans. I live with my wife and 2 beautiful girls (3 yrs and 1 month). Only know one other lesbian couple with kids, so would love to get to know others. Currently on maternity leave. I know that I have missed your last get together but only just joined Mumsnet!

Just found this site. My partner is having our little boy in August. We both work in London but live in Welwyn Garden City and would love to meet other gay mums in our local area.

Hi othermumherts, I would be interested in meeting up, WGC not a million miles away! I am currently on maternity leave so am free anytime. Your partner must be getting big now with the baby due soon? Is this your first?

Hi guys,
Just joined, my partner and I would like to meet other lesbian mums.
My partner has a 5 year old and I am looking into adopting a 4 year old child. We would like to increase our circle of friends. We live in Elsree and loughton, and work in london. If you are interested in meeting for a coffee within the next couple of weeks...
we would like to hear from you.

Hi holland69, yes it's our first and I'm getting really excited (and worried) now. Partner on maternity leave from next week and I'm a teacher so will be finishing work in 2 weeks. I'll change my contact settings so that you can more easily contact me as i don't check this that often.

I too dont check this too often so happy for you to email me direct on debholland@me.com . Your partner must be getting big (!!) the last month is a killer, as baby grows so much and gets so big. You will find that being a teacher is a godsend, when yours is older as school holidays are a pain for working parents, and my oldest doesn't even start until September! Where do you teach? What age?

Hi also interested in meeting new lesbian mums. Do you live in Elstree (was that a typo?) as no far from us in Southgate. Happy to meet for a coffee sometime.

Sorry about message for ToniG (not very good at this!)

Hi Othermumherts, I am really rubbish at getting this right. The above message with my email address etc. is for you!

Hey hey holland69 thanks for your reply. Sorry that ive not got back sooner, dont use this site much. Im glad you can meet up for a coffee, im pretty flexible next week so if you fancy meeting let me know. I know southgate pretty well so we can meet around there if you like. Speak to you soon.

Hi all - have posted on a few threads now, still figuring out how this site works! - just looking to meet up with other gay/bi mums in Herts.

I'm in St Albans.

Hi - we are in Croxley and despite meeting lots of lovely straight mums it would be great to sit and have a coffee with mums in the same situation as us...
