Coffee Mornings 2009

A very Happy New Year to everybody!

Throughout the year La Leche League SW London have monthly series meetings.We like to supplement these with coffee mornings/socials, so that mothers can get extra support in between these meetings. These are often held in the homes of our members or leaders and are the perfect time to make friends and chat with other breastfeeding mothers in a more informal and relaxed atmosphere. Leaders are not always present at the socials so if you need specific breastfeeding information or support then please cotact one of the listed leaders whose details are on this webpage.

If you would like to host a coffee morning/social then please contact Lucy.

Many thanks.

December Holiday Meeting

After a short series meeting, we're having a winter party to celebrate another passing year of growing children, breastfeeding and friendship!

Please bring something yummy & wholesome to share with everyone. It would be really helpful if you could label home baked goods that contain nuts or sesame. It doesn't have to be home made food, store bought is fine.

Friday 12th December
Canbury Pavillion,
Canbury gardens,
Kingston.

10am till approx 1pm / 1.30pm

Feel free to bring friends, old and new to LLL, and we all look forward to seeing you there.
