Worcester and Droitwich Branch Letter from the Branch Coordinator… Dear Members A very warm welcome to our new members (and their bumps and babies) and hello again to existing members. The summer is nearly over and I hope you all managed to enjoy it, even with the pretty rubbish weather we have had. I know a lot of parents who are looking forward to school restarting as it isn‟t easy entertaining little ones all day every day without it costing a fortune. Let‟s just hope for better weather for the autumn so we can go on long walks in the sunshine and kick up some leaves! Your local branch is run entirely by volunteers so we all had a bit of a break too before getting busy again organising NCT events for the next couple of months for you to enjoy. We have four First Aid for Baby and Toddler courses running in September and October after lots of requests from members (see page 13 for more details). These are a great way for you (and anyone else who helps you look after your children) to learn new skills or refresh existing ones. If you can‟t make these dates, please do let us know so if we have enough interest, we can book in some more dates for you next year. Worcester and Droitwich Branch Autumn 2015 8
