Open Houses

There is usually an Open House event most weeks somewhere within our region (currently predominantly along the coast between Rhuddlan and Llanfairfechan). A member hosts a session and everyone is invited. There is an Online Calendar for these events and members volunteer to host sessions. It’s very informal, with coffee and possibly some cake and lots of chat for the adults and play for the small people. It’s a good way to make friends and can be a lifesaver. You can meet other parents with children of a range of ages, learn from their wisdom (and their mistakes) and get out of the house and have an adult conversation. All are welcome: bumps, babies, toddlers, children and parents.

Prams on the Prom

A gentle walk along the prom in Rhos-on-Sea, followed by coffee and/or lunch. You don’t need a pram, all welcome, including dogs.

Meet every Tuesday at 10.30am by Rhos on Sea Golf Club- please check our Facebook page, Twitter feed or branch emails the day before. If you can't make the walk, then feel free to meet the group on their return trip back to the Golf Club at 11.30!

Some NCT members with older toddlers and children are starting to meet at the softplay session in Llandudno Junction Leisure centre at 10.30 each Tuesday as an alternative to the walk. Cost is £1.65 per child with a Conwy Ffit card. There is also a meet-up at the Hub in Llandudno every week - you can check all the upcoming social dates in the Online Calendar!

 *New * Bumps & Babies

We now have TWO bumps and babies groups.

Primarily aimed at pregnant ladies and those with younger babies, Bumps & Babies is a fab place to meet other parents, get information and support and just get out of the house for a while! It could be a good starting point if you are nervous about going to an open house or intimidated by the toddler group circuit.

Bumps and Babies Monday is at the Craigside Inn, between 1pm and 3pm and is free to attend, drinks & food are available to purchase.

During the Friday session we will also have other demos and special interest groups visiting some of the time - eg a real nappy demo and a baby music session. We also hope to have a lending library of parenting titles available at the sessions. Breastfeeding Peer supporters will also often be found hanging around if you need a chat (although it's not a breastfeeding group and you are very welcome to feed your baby where, when and how you wish!)

The Friday Bumps & Babies will run on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Fridays of the month at United Reform Church, Rhos on Sea between 1pm and 3pm. £1.50 per session which includes drinks, cake and any activities. First session & bumps free!

For more information, please email aberconwyenquiries@nct.org.uk or see our Facebook page.

Pub Night

Last Thursday of the month at 8pm and the venue changes each month to a pub near you! All adults welcome for drinks, puddings etc. For more information chek out the Online Calendar, the Facebook group or the branch email list. Contact Simone for more information.

Dads Night Out

We have a monthly pub night for dads, which is held at The Albion in Conwy (Good selection of real ale, lager, cider, wine & spirits) This is a traditional pub with no tv, games machines or jukebox. Come along for a nice pint and a chance to have a chat (moan) with other dads who are in similar situation. Contact Elgan for details or see the Facebook group.
