Hi Ladies,
I am the mother of a two year old boy plus also the owner of a new playland & cafe (Lollipop's Playland & Cafe) that is opening in Townsville. I thought I would just send you a quick mail to let you know that we will be opening at the end of the month. The shop will be one of the largest in Townsville with a seperate toddlers areas with their own jumping castle, ball pit and quiet area. There will also be a tea-cup merry-go-round, Play station area, 3 large birthday party rooms, push car area plus a large play frame for the older children incorporating a 3 lane slide, air slide, ball pit & jumping castle.
We will be offering mother group packages and play group activities.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us via email at mia@lollipopstsv.com.au
I have moved around a bit through my husbands work in IT we have lived in the US, UK & Europe so I do appreciate the value of play groups & chat lines to find new friends.
I hope to see you all soon.
Thanks
Mia

We are just trying to tie up the loose ends can quite exhausting with my two year old running around the place, he thinks it is pretty cool.
Hope you all have a great night.

Morning girls!
Welcome Peta and Mia. The new play centresounds great Mia. I will def come and check it out when it is opened! How much is it??? Will you have a cafe??
How'd everyone go with all the rain we had overnight on friday??? We got about 300mls up here at Hervey Range!
Some family and I went and checked out all the waterfalls and creeks up here yesterday. Its was lovely. I did'nt swim as i have stiches in my legs but i climed around on the rocks. Used muscles i have'nt used in ages and now i am all sore today! Great exercise though!
Letah - I might pop over to one of your meets one day. What is the age group of the kids there???
So are we going to plan a Belly Belly Townsville Mums Meet anytime soon???
I'm not sure that a regular thing would be the go since we all seem to have our own groups going. But it would be nice to all be in the one place once a month and get to meet each other.
Anyone keen??
Hope you are all well....
Take Care!

Wow, thats really close to my house, which is good as i have to use public transport- i can walk there! do i need to bring anything? What ages are the children there,Tamsyn is 6 months, any near that age group?:o
Mia, the new play centre sounds great!!!
I think we should try and have a Townsville BB meet-up at one stage! Would be great to put faces to names! Anyway, my boy is teething and is an absolute mess, we are going to be very unsociable for the next few days I think!!! Poor bubba, must hurt, he is getting the top 4 all at once. I will keep checking in anyway! Take Care! And YAY THE SUN IS OUT TODAY AT LAST!!!!
Peta and Sara, the age group is from 1 month untill about 5 years. The youngest bub atm is 6 weeks and the oldest child is 4 years. We would love you ladies joining us. When youcome just bring a piece of fruit or biscuits with you. Everyone brings 1 thing for the kids and we share it with the other kiddies. This way they have a nice morning tea. For the adults, we take turns to make morning tea so we always have something yummie there lol.
I reckon it would be great to organize a bbq!:D
I'd love a Townsville BB meet up!
Ok, so do you think we should organise a meet up!! What about the new play centre lollipop land or whatever at Domain that was mentioned earlier in the thread??? Not sure if it is open yet.. But anyway, we should do it!!! Any thoughts? Oh, the only day not really good for me is Mon. Also weekends are no good, but any other week day is normally fine.
OK, I posted a new thread in meet-ups to see if many people are interested!!!
a BB meet up sounds great - the only days not good are Monday and Wednesday for me but any other day is great
Also for those looking for something to do tomorrow i go to a meet up at 2.30 so if anyone is interested PM me and i'll give you the rest of the details
check back soon
Jo
Ladies,
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, we would love to host a BB meet up at Lollipop's (new indoor play centre). We are in the process of putting together play group packages which will include discounted entry and extra activities for the children eg arts & crafts.
We are open today (26th of February) this will be our first day of trading. As you can all imagine I have not slept a wink & have been up since about 4am this morning. Having Lollipop's is like having a new born.
Thanks again for all of your well wishes. I will post another message once all play group packages are finalised, but if you are in the area today you are most welcome to be part of our first day!!!
Thanks again
Mia

Hi as you've probably guessed my name is Paula and my sons name is Jacob (11months) we have just moved from Perth a week ago and are endeavouring to make some contacts. We are going to be in Douglas if the rain stops long enough for the removalists to unpack! I am still trying to find myself around this website let alone Townsville but have a map and car so maybe we could meet for coffee? :
Hi bubs and mums, i think a meet up @ lollipops is a great idea, most days thru the week are good 4 me, wat does everyone else think? i would love to check it out and i think bub would love sum company!!:lol:
oooh went to lollipops today and it was lovely! Ari played all day in the toddler area! It was lovely and clean and tidy and had nice baby change facilities too! DS thought the playstations were awesome and had great fun playing in the playground! And it was quite reasonably priced too
maybe we can have a weekly meeting at lollipop. Maybe every monday or something?
my eldest just LOVES the cars and toddler area!
it seems lollipops is a hit mia CONGRATULATIONS :confetti: and so is the idea of a weekly meetup - not sure if i mentioned earlier but mondays and wednesdays are out for me but any other day is open - tuesdays would probably be best but whatever anyone else is up to i'm in for
chat soon
tuesdays r good 4 me too
OK Tuesdays would be good here also!! Have swimming with DD at 9.30-10, so after that we could come. Maybe only every second week though, depending how much it is!!! Do you think we should go this week?? I am so excited!!!!!
Hello, i am new to this site and somewhat to Townsville and want to meet some new mums and bubs, i have a son Lachlan 15mths and i am due in well 4 days with second son..
Hubby and i arrived here in January from Perth...far far from home :(
Would be very interested in your meet ups at Lollipops it sounds awsome i actually only found out about it today..
Hopefully talk to you soon, Shauna :pray:
Hi, I'd love to meet up, though i havent figured out where lollipops is yet! I can understand if you're not up to it at the moment given the circumstances. where were you in Perth, we were in Maylands. Im a stay at home mum, so let me know when is good for you and I'll be there....I dont want to sound like a whinging westerner but finding a baby group seems harder here, am i just looking in the wrong places?? Speak soon Paula
Hey Paula, both hubby and i grew up south of the river but we were living in swanbourne..
Do you know where Domain central is... harvey norman or bunnings..thats where lollipops is..
So what brings you so far from home...Townsville is really lovely we have been here before use to own a house in the willows, we are currently in the avenues..kirwan
Okay ladies, we will make it tuesdays then, lets say... 2pm?
i will be there this tuesday 2/3/08 with my youngest son Logan. We will be sitting in the toddlers area and i will make a little sign "bellybelly" so you know it me lol. I agree with every second week so it would be easier on some of us.
i have never been in perth but have seen a few adds for it on television. My home where i grew up is just a "little" further... Antwerp in BELGIUM lol.
Hope to see a few of you ladies on tuesday. :D
PS, my name is Jenny and have 2 sons, Tyran 30/12/2005 and Logan 05/12/2006.
Oh, I won't be able to make it at 2pm, have to pick my other daughter up from school at 2.30pm.... Can we maybe do it at like 10.30/11am. If not, that's cool! I know it is hard to get a time/day to suit everyone!
:Dim in- any time tues suits me, cant wait:dance:

Hi everyone,
I am new to Townsville and have been looking around for a Playgroup/Mothers Group to join. I stumbled onto this thread and saw that you are all meeting up today. Do you mind if I come along too?
I have 2 boys aged 2 and 5wks old.
We just moved from Gladstone 2 weeks ago, but I am originally from Perth - Fremantle way.
Looking forward to checking out Lollipops. We will get there around 2.30ish.
See you soon,
Leigh
the more, the merrier, hope to c u there!!
Sorry everyone, we didn't make it today. My newborn slept all afternoon, and I didn't want to wake him. Hope he sleeps tonight now! :rolleyes:
We are better for meets in the morning. So next time!
It was alot of fun today, we have to do it again next week!:D
Okay, for the ladies who want to come to the playgroup tomorrow morning:
- it is from 9.30am till 11.30am
- bring a piece of fruit or bisquits or something else with you if you (we all share something so we can make the kids morning tea).
- the adults are having morning tea as well but that is being taking care of
The address :
Mount Louisa House of Praise, Cnr of Bayswater Rd & Mather St, Mt Louisa (it is in the youth hall). Hope to see you girls then.
Glad you had fun at the meetup!! Maybe we can do a morning one at some stage! Would love to meet some of you gals, and afternoons are no good for me! Can't come tomorrow either, have to work! Bummer!
