Hi, I put a post on here a while ago looking for people to meet/places to go in Ballarat. I have since come across a group on Facebook called Families of Ballarat and surrounds. If you are on facebook look them up, they have regular events to catch up each week plus sometimes organise nights out to the movies etc for the parents so it seems quite social! They even have regular walks around the lake as well. I havent been to anything yet, but am going along to the weekly catch up at Happy Jacks next Tuesday to finally meet some people. Its hard to meet people in Ballarat and its even harder finding things to do in this weather to actually get out of the house with bubs, so hopefuly this group is the answer. Apparently, the woman who runs it (Rachael) is very friendly and makes sure your introduced around and made to feel welcome. I will let you know how my first meet and greet goes!
I guys, thanks for the Facebook thing, will get onto it myself. We have now been here a year, my goodness it has flown. Loving it here wouldn't move anywhere else.
I too don't know many people at all, we go to 2 playgroups and do swimming. One playgroup I just love and so does Eliza as well, she is nearly 22 mths and my little Sienna is 11 weeks old. The playgroup is at St Peters Parish hall behind the church on Sturt street up near Pleasant Street. Starts at 10am just bring gold coin donation and piece of fruit. Lovely ladies there and loads of nice people.
The other one is the New Residents playgroup held Mondays from 9.30am at the Eastwood Leisure Centre on town on Eastwood Street. That's $20 for the term, Amy is in charge and I know they do nights out for the ladies. Just bring a piece of fruit.
Any sorry the other playgroup is Wednesdays.
Shall check out this facebook page, thanks girls
