Hello to all gorgeous Mums (and Dads too!)


NEWTOWN MUMS is designed for Mother's (and Dad's), their babes (and friends/supporters), to meet-up, socialize, network, mingle, and damnwell get our heads out of the the home enviroment, and into some stimulating, vibrant, and relative conversation!
If you don't live locally, thats cool! All you need is a love for Newtown with all its quirks and bohemian culture, along with an open mind - and you've found your haven!
All kinds of Parents are encouraged to attend - with particular focus on new Single Mum's and Dad's, who long for a group who are a bit left-of-centre, a bit cerebral, a bit rock 'n roll, and utterly accepting and supportive of each other and their lifestyles/parenting choices. We particularly welcome Mums - without Mums 9or similar family support). that is to say, Mothers who don't have Mothers/Parents in her life - whether by locale, estrangement, or tragedy. I myself am in this category (along with several others mentioned below, Lol!).
This group also strongly encourages Gay/Lesbian Mums & Dads, Bi-racial Mums & bubs, Metal Mums, Muso Mums, Goth Mums, Fetish Mums, Alternative lifestyle Mums, and really - any Mum/Dad whom feels isolated, lonely, unaccepted and/or unsupported, for any reason at all...

NEWTOWN MUMS will meet monthly to start, with a veiw to meet bi-monthly, numbers permitting.

NEWTOWN MUMS FIRST EVENT & MEET-UP was on Mothers Day, Sunday 9th may 2010. The event location was at TWELVE restaurant, King Street, Newtown, and was a very special day for new Mums (including myself!), in particular without access to their own Mother for company, celebration and support.
As the organiser, I'd like to say that I personally would have spent this day alone, aside from my gorgeous bub - and was honoured to have the company of all new members, to share this day, and to validate the our experiences, including its complete diversity and often darker moments that we all have, in the surreal and sometimes strange journey that is: being a parent!


Sound like your kind of quirky, off-beat parents group? We'd LOVE you to join us!

Numbers are essential to secure a particular suitable location, so, if you can, please RSVP asap, if you think you would like to attend :-)
