    Townsville Mum's

    Hi everyone, my name is Kelly I'm 26 with a 19 month old son and another on the way. I am desperate to start a playgroup where mothers just take it in turns having it at their place every week. If anyone is interested please let me know.

    Hi there!

    I'm in Townsville. I have been doing a bit of searching for mothers groups in the Townsville area too. There are'nt too many Townsville ladies here on BB so i had a look at some other forums. I have found one group who meet up at Riverway on Thursday morning at 10am in the kids pool. Not sure if thats your sort of thing.

    I will PM you the details for the other website if you like!

    Let me know!

    Thanks Sara but my son had a liver transplant in February and he isn't allowed in public pools for 1 year because of the bacteria. Would love to go to something like that but just can't.

    Thanks

    No worries mate.

    I'd be up for coffee and something similar if you'd like some time! I am on here everyday so just let me know.

    Take Care!

    Hi Sara, I have found some other mum's interested in a playgroup just trying to sort out meeting times etc. If you are interested let me know.

    Good to hear Kelly.

    I am off to the Riverway of Thursday morning. I have also signed up with another website that has another group but no dates or times set yet. I've been chatting too a few girls on MSN and they seem quite nice. We are meeting at the Riverway too.

    Hope you have a great time!

    Let me know how the meeting goes!

    hello Ladies - My name is Jody (but i prefer Jo) and i'm sort of new to Townsville (by new i mean been here almost 12mths) but between preparing for bub (Michael now 14wks old) and planning my wedding in feb i haven't had a chance to meet anyone other then my fiances family. I'm almost to the point of desperation at finding a playgroup or some kind of mothers group just to get me out of the house however all groups i have tried are either full or not returing my messages

    Please if you could guide me in the right direction

    There is another couple of groups that meet on friday's. More structure though.
    Why dont you start your own? Or try Postnatal Yoga for mums and bubs. at the end of the month they a have a morning tea which is fun.
    I have lots of contacts. Just ask.

    Hi Jo!

    I'm not too sure about the Yoga classes. The place on Charters Tower Rd used to do them but she has moved too!

    We are back at Riverway tomorrow if you want to join us. 10am at the playground near the Solar Power thingy!

    Hope too see you there!

    Hi jo,

    I have heard about the yoga but it's only until crawling age and my bub is on the move and it's too hard to find someone to watch her when you don't know many people. BEAPS is run at the Atkinvale PCYC on Wellington road. We used to go to kindy gym there on Tuesday and it's on at about 9:30 which is a mums and bubs fitness thing! Apparently the new Beachouse Gym is offering free creche? Oh and the Upper ross community centre has a family walking group that I'm thinking about joining

    Hope to see some of you there!
