Hi All,

The last few Home Birth Group meetings have been poorly attended so I have been thinking about stopping them but first thought I would consult you first. I was thinking about just putting a notice on the website stating that we will organise a group meeting if there is demand for it and that we will also try to make it on a date and time convenient for those who want to attend. What do you think?

I have recently sent-out flyers to all Playgroups and I regularly advertise the group with the Jessop Wing, NCT, Netmums and Sheffield Forum so I really don't know how else I can promote the group. I also work longer hours now so the spare time I have is precious and it feels wasteful spending 2 hours for a group meeting that hardly anybody attends.

I was also thinking about scheduling a date during the 6 weeks holiday, and putting it up on the website, for all mums who have had or/are considering a homebirth to meet, at a park somewhere in Sheffield, to have a picnic and chat about homebirth. Anybody up for it?

All thoughts on this appreciated.....
