Hi all - so, with kbear's blessing , I'm starting a new thread for all of us to organize meetups. Why don't we try a picnic again in one or two weeks time on Tuesday the 9th or 16th near the Maritime Museum? Let's do around noon... So, let me know which date is better and we'll go with the majority. I was so sad that yesterday didn't work out!!

I'm still here! Dd's starting playgroup at the beginning of September, 5 mornings a week so I won't be around for lunchtime meetings any more apart from in holiday time . But I'll keep my eyes open on this thread in case you have any mid - late afternoon meet-ups .

I'm a Waterfront person-its not bad but as indoor parks go its really only loads of balls!Great for swimming though-lovely baby pools-wave machine,slides for oldies-always v busy in holidays though!

Where is Waterfront?

dropinthe · 26/08/2005 07:59

The Waterfront is a Leisure Centre/Water Park in Woolwich-its not bad but very busy!

That sounds good - we have a membership to that group of leisure centers... The one in Greenwich has an under 5s playtime in a huge gym once a day for 1 1/2 hours with all kinds of great stuff to climb on and play with - though the waterfront sounds better if that works for everyone. Why don't we shoot for the third Monday in September?

Hi everyone,

I just called the waterfront leisure center and here's the scoop... There is an indoor soft play area that can be used from 9:30-6 and is supervised by staff but we can all hang out in there and let our kids play (or for the babies we can just hang out with them). If you're not a member, it's 3.85 (I think that's what he said) to get in and if you're a member of greenwich leisure limited there is a discount. I was thinking we could all meet on Monday the 19th of September at 11am - who can do that?

I hope we can get a big group together! Jen

I can be there from about 12.15 (after pre-school).

Thanks Jen!

dropinthe · 01/09/2005 11:28

I can be there any time as I live 3 minutes from it! How exciting!

Ok - since I've not heard from anyone else - let's plan for noon and just plan to bring some lunch along for us and the kids - I'm sure there's a place somewhere there that we could eat before or after some playtime. I'm going to e-mail Beachy and Slug about this as I've not seen them respond to this newer thread - I want to see that new baby!

KBear · 07/09/2005 19:52
