As the last meeting was cancelled due to adverse weather I thought I ought to send a note to wish you all a very Happy New Year, and to inform you of a couple of things that you need to know prior to the next meeting on Monday 25th January.

I am organising a group coach trip to the The Tropical Butterfly House, Sheffield on Thursday 18th February. Cost: Under 3's Free, Children £4.99, Adult One Free for every two paying children, additional adults £7.50, Coach costs £2.00 per seat.

If you would like to join us please give numbers and full payment (non-refundable) t oeither myself or Wendy by the next meeting.

Mark has very kindly offered to send e-mails to all members when any minutes / update / important messages have been put on the web page, if you want to take full advantatge of this please let Sandra or myself have your e-mail address and we will pass them onto Mark. Any future information such as meeting info / trips or activities etc will be posted on the web page, if you do not have access to the internet please let me know and I will ensure that any essential information is got to you by either text or a phone call.

The National Childminding Association are holding an information day in early February (think it is the 6th) cost is £10 each and includes lunch, the afternoon session includes a talk about Autism and Aspergers. Debbie Russell has full information and a booking form if you are interested. Sorry I am not a member of the NCMA so haven't got all the info and when Debbie rang me I was on the school run so this is from memory.

Hope to see you all at the next meeting on 25th January, The Lockstone Pub, 7pm.

Kind Regards

Donna
