Push Studios have kindly donated space to run a teagroup or baby playgroup, perhaps on a weekly/fortnightly basis depending on the level of interest. This would be a free baby group with occasional guest speakers, mums and babes fitness classes, infant massage demos etc. What days would be most popular with ED mums? It would be good to avoid days when there are already lots of baby classes running (Friday seems to be a popular one for playgroups). Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday AMs are looking like the best option but let me know if you're prefer an afternoon group.


I have set up a poll here, please vote for your session of choice. If Push Studios are free at this time, then I'll go with the majority vote for the most popular day and time. I have only listed session times that I would be free to run the group, so please don't ask for Mondays or Fridays.

For some reason there never seems to be much on on a Monday (unless I am missing it all!).


I would say mornings (say, 10am) work best, as afternoons tend to be naptime (can be anywhere between 12 - 3) and then it gets a bit late/dark/grumpy for trips out in winter.

Hi - Mondays and Fridays are a no-go unfortunately, but 10am sounds like a good time to go with. We might be able to vary the day of the week so that as many people as possible can attend. I'm also wondering if weekly would be too often to run a group?

Thursday mornings are also a possibility, I don't think there are many playgroups running on Thursdays.


Also, I'll need mums to help run the group as I may not be able to be there weekly, so it will have to suit the days that the group organisers can do. Let me know if you'd like to help out.


Edited to add that I'll organise the NCT teagroup separately as this is only suitable for small babies, no toddlers allowed usually.

Sounds like you've pretty much decided on a time, but just in case I can change anyone's mind, I'd like to vote for an afternoon session (don't mind which day, but pref not Thurs if poss). It seems like all the playgroup, sing sessions and so on are in the morning and there's not much to do in the afternoons (apart from 1 o'clock club). If I'm wrong, please let me know!
Don't afternoons get in way of school pick up etc? We never seem to manage to do much in the afternoon other than a stroll and last snooze around 3/4ish. Mind you weaning seems to mean we're always eating and it takes ages..!!

    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
