Default Re: desperate mother of two looking to make friends in Sydney

copied from Castle Hill RSL thread.....

First of all - welcome! It can be daunting at first, but it does become more manageable, especially if you can make a few friends - which is what BE is for!!

I know of two general meets, to which everybody is welcome -

      Because the two meets overlap, sometimes only a few (or no-one) are/is at CHRSL when FTC is on. Keep an eye on the threads so you know who's going where!

      Some of us also organise park outings and stuff on other days, but we can clue you in on those as they come up.

      Please feel free to PM me if I can help with anything else, or if you just need a chat!

      - holmes

      P.S. there are a couple of us with boys 14-17months

      Hi we meet in the hills district so we might be a bit far out from you but keep on checking as they quite often have meet ups at some beach locations.

      Hi ann, we live in Little Bay (just on Botany Bay) so if you would like to meet up let me know. I have a 3year old girl and run a playgroup in maroubra so I can take you along and introduce you to the area. Jo
