S/land Shire East Coffee Morning

As we don't currently have an SSMBA Area Rep. for the Sutherland Shire East, Katrina Carroll and Rebecca Young are filling in until someone can be found. We may actually have someone who's interested in this role but we need 2 rep.'s for each area so please let us know if you're interested in taking on this easy but crucial role.
We decided to hold the coffee morning indoors as the weather has been so unpredictable. The location was Amigos play cafe in Caringbah.
We had 7 mums come along with their children, twins and siblings in tow and it was a fantastic few hours. We even had a couple of pregnant mums come along to have a chat and see how it is looking after lively, active twins!
The cafe is a little bit narrow in parts which can make it difficult to get around with a double stroller but it is do-able and the cafe staff are extremely helpful. There is an indoor play room which has a brilliant padded/netted climbing frame which is suitable for children from approx. 12months-4years. There is a big outdoor area with some more great play equipment and a deck with tables and chairs for you to enjoy your beverages and snacks in the warmer months (lovely coffee btw!).
It was lovely for the mums to be able to have a coffee in the warmth without worrying about their children wondering off too far. We all had a good natter whilst easily keeping the kids entertained.
Roll-on next month when Rebecca is holding the next Shire East (everyone welcome) coffee morning at the same place, on 21st July from 11am! Don't forget your SSMBA membership card as we get a '2 for 1' entry saving which makes this location very affordable.
Hope to see you there.
