St Austell?

[HelenSmart]

Hi!

I've recently moved to St Austell, and I know NOBODY! I had to relocate quite quickly (long story).

I'm just getting to know the area. Despite the trauma of moving, and the situation surrounding that, it's been fun getting to know a brand new area.

Hi..I'm in newquay. Not far away 👋
Some family in st austell tho

[Surfskatefamily]

What serve things you looking for? We have groups of ladies who surf my end, are you looking for toddler groups, etc etc

[Surfskatefamily]

That's meant to say what sort of thing

[HelenSmart]

I'm not sure what I'm looking for, actually!

My boys are 12 and 8- although tonight they're acting like toddlers...😂

Can I ask a random question about surfing?

Do I need eyes to do it?

I've always wanted to give it a go- but I'm registered blind...

[HelenSmart]

I guess I'm looking for social groups, meet ups etc....I've found a fab single parent group near me at the Children's Centre.

Ooh well no you dont actually. If you get in touch with the wave project, it's a surfing charity. They have sessions here in newquay and they have lots of different abilities in the water such as blind, autism, physical disabilities. If you have facebook give them a search

[Surfskatefamily]

They would basically assist you one on one to catch the waves and look out for your safety in the water. Surfing has enriched my life so much I highly recommend it.

Hi. I'm from St Austell, welcome to the area.
There's lots of information here about things for families to do and where to find help and advice...

The wave project is for 8-18 year olds but plenty of other surf schools.

What kind of things are you interested in op?

[Keepmewarm]

@snozzlemaid love the name

[HelenSmart]

I love music, crochet and cooking.

I've been living for my kids, settling into temporary accommodation and just finding my feet since October. I'm sort of ready to come out of my bubble now that they're finally at school!

[snozzlemaid]

You have to be in the know to get it!!

[FizzyIce]

I could think of worse places to live !
Visited just last month ,I love Cornwall but I was born there
Hope you settle in soon

[snozzlemaid]

If you're on Facebook there's a St Austell friends group that might give you some ideas.

[HelenSmart]

Yup! Found that! I've been a busy bee now I've decided! If you're on there, and you've seen a certain post about the single parent group, feel free to hit me up.
