Fun Run Anyone? March 7th, 2010
This is separate from our normal meetups, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in a 5km fun run/walk... it is about 7 weeks away still. It is Sunday, March 7th, at a very early 8:30. My fitness level at the moment is pretty bad, and a target/committment like this usually helps me to get moving! (But honestly, this is not about PBs for me at least, there is a stroller involved after all, I just need a little push in an active direction)
I plan to test out the route (very near my home) to make sure it is stroller-friendly... but I already know from the map on the website that it goes through 2 parks on trails (Saxe Point and MacCauley Point)- so you would likely need (or could borrow) a robust jogging-type stroller. I will let everyboady know whether or not it is suitable at the next meeting at the latest.
The sign-up fee is relatively low too - $12, and limited to 50 registrants. Pass the word around and feel feel to invite otehrs from outside the usual group - the more the merrier!

Merry Christmas Party & Happy New Year Everyone!
Hello! Happy New Year Everyone! Seraph & I are doing well in Courtenay... I am spending increasing time with my hands free, but busy as ever trying to keep the little lady out of everything... she started crawling over Christmas! We're enjoying all the time with family BUT we sure are missing you all already. I'll keep this brief, cause our cutie babies are more precious than words... Here are the shots from our Christmas get together!
xoxo Ashley & Seraph
Mischa Edit: Throwing in a pic of Colben so he doesn't feel left out lol. We were so sad to miss out

Stuff discussed at meeting
Well guys it was decided everything would stay the same...Wednesdays at 1pm. We would really like to see more people post up stuff to do in the off weeks. We have a vote on the blog about which way you would like us all to stay in contact about events schedules etc.
We discussed what age babies should be restricted to. We kind of decided roughly no babies born before 2009 but I think if there is an older sibling that is fine.
A babyfood exchange in cycle 4 when all babies are at least 6 months was mentioned

Housekeeping
With a bunch of new members I`d like to do some housekeeping, excuse the offical sounding talk. This is by no means in stone and others are welcome to discuss changes to it on Thursday:o)
-A reminder once the next cycle's schedule is set if you are unable to attend the week you have been assigned you must find someone to trade or take your day. If we find out the day of and no one has an activity the whole group loses out.
-Everyone misses out on a week or two (sick, travelling etc.) but on a whole we would like everyone to try to attend the full cycle- this is why we do it every 2 weeks.
-Please make sure that you give Tara the 6$ on the first week of the cycle. I'm sure it sucks to chase down people for money- ask my collectors..lol
- During the off weeks we are always looking for people to organize non-manditory group outings like movies, museum etc etc.
- Please keep in mind when choosing activities at what level babies are- I made the mistake of bringing a craft but the babies were still in arms so pretty tricky to do.
- Lets try to keep the group under 12 due to space issues and babies to around the same age if possible.
- New members that come in mid cycle will fill in any opening slots on schedule. The following cycle they will be moved to the top of the list in fairness to those who have participated longer.
- If you wish to invite a new member the more the merrier keeping in mind size issues. It is the responsibility of the old member to introduce the potential member via email with at least one weeks notice so that the the host, activity leader can prepare. Potential members may attend a trial day to see before they commit.
Now this has NOT been discussed with others but I would like to suggest we spend the 1st hour chatting 2 hour activity because it always seems difficult to start.
