Social Events

	New Parents' Luncheon This is usually the beginning of a lot of friendships. It really starts at this point. New parents bring along their babies, often for the first time, and chat to people they have already met, both committee and other mums in similar situations. They usually swap stories, ideas and joyous moments. The mums of older multiples that attend do the babysitting so parents can rest assured their children are being looked after by experienced hands. They also assist in the kitchen with cooking, dishes, serving and waitressing. They are also on hand if any of the new parents wish to seek assistance from parents who have already experienced what they may be experiencing. The main aim however is for new parents to network with other new parents.   Mums Night Out Wine and cheese nights or restaurant evenings are just a couple of examples of what activities our mums get up to on a regular basis.  We offer lots of opportunities for mothers to come out, let their hair down and enjoy some time off with other mums of multiples.   Mums Weekend Away Often the chance to get away from the family and have a break amongst women who understand the pressures of raising multiples is appealing.  To some mothers the thought of leaving their family and their little bubs at home with their partner will be quite daunting.  You will be made feel welcome and reassured that your “hubby” will cope while you take a well-deserved break.   Dads Night Out Don't forget the dads!  Often the dads of multiples are left hearing about the club activities through their partner or children. This is not the case at SunRanges Twins Plus Inc. We offer dads night out as regularly as we offer mums night's out.  This gives them the opportunity to have a beer and a meal while they chat about the trials and tribulations of being a parent of multiples from their perspective.  It also gives them the opportunity to meet other dads and start their own male friendships.   Parents Night Out Parents of multiples cherish the opportunity to grab a babysitter and get out for a night with other adults, without the stresses of caring for children, this is also on offer regularly with the club. It gives you as a couple the opportunity to go out, just as you did before you had children.   Parents Nights out gives couples the opportunity to meet other families, share stories and as with other networking events and have the chance to make new friends with families who are sharing the same enjoyment of parenting multiples.   Family Christmas Party Christmas is of course the festive season so what better way to celebrate than with other families in the club.  Each year a family Christmas function is held to give everyone in the club a chance to meet families as a whole.  A Christmas event can give everyone the chance to meet the family. Santa usually makes an appearance with presents for the children too!
