If you've found this website, you are either pregnant with twins or more or have twins ore more and live in the Ashford area.
This page will list the benefits that membership to our club will bring you, in addition to all the support and friendship that we offer. Even if you decide not to partake in the social aspect of the club, the membership benefits (as you will see) far outweigh the annual subscription costs, especially if you are currently pregnant and looking to make some big purchases.
If you are pregnant with twins or more, why not take a look at our hints and tips document.
For new members we offer a mentoring service. If you tell us your situation (children with special needs, single parent families, SCBU babies, twins after siblings, siblings after twins, older parents, younger parents etc) we will try to match you with someone who closely matches you. This could include a chat over coffee before your first visit, so you're not walking into a sea of unknown faces.
On the social side, we organise a Club Funded Summer Trip for members, a Club Funded Christmas Party for members and a School Leavers Party. We also organise a Halloween Party- tickets are available for sale to friends and family also and a Quiz night in the Spring. In addition to this, we organise a parents evening out every quarter- after all, it's not just all about the children!
New for 2011, we will be organising an Easter picnic for the family with games and prizes.
Our annual subscription is £16, which runs from April to April. For those wishing to join mid year, we reduce the fees per quarter. If you join July-September, the fees are £12, for October-December joiners, the fees are £8 and January-March fees are £4.
We also meet weekly at Bluebells in Hothfield (unless we have an away day- which you will get details of, if you are a member) on a Friday morning from 9:45-11:45. Weekly subs for members are £1.50 and £2.00 for non-members. This also includes a drink and snack for your little ones and a cup of tea and plenty of support/adult conversation for you!
