Events

This is an informal information session run by the Westgate Multiple Birth Association for new and expectant families of multiples.  Come along and meet other new (or expecting) families of multiples and pick up some handy tips and tricks to help you on the journey.  Bring all your questions and learn about how things REALLY work when there's more than one baby at a time.  Nothing is off limits! We welcome WMBA members and non-members to this event.  This is kid-friendly, so you're welcome to bring your babies and siblings (multiples or non-multiples).  Please feel free to spread the word to any expectant multiple parents you know or meet.  This event will be held at a Kindergarten in Altona North, where we will also be running a Saturday 'Multiplay' event for our members. The exact address will be emailed to you after registration. (Please register for a ticket for everyone 12yrs+ so we can track capacity

WMBA COMMITTEE MEETING - MAY   Our monthly Committee Meeting is coming up, and we’d absolutely love for you to join us!   We’re keeping things fun and relaxed by meeting over dinner — and the best part is we’ll be choosing a different place each month so there’s always something new to try! It’s a great chance to enjoy a meal, have a laugh with other parents who get it, and hear about what’s happening in our association.   If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved, sharing ideas, or lending a hand (big or small!), this is the perfect opportunity - or just enjoy some good food and maybe a glass of wine too!   Come along and see what we’re all about!

MULTIPLAY - RECYCLED FUN We all know that the best toy is often the box so come and enjoy all the fun ways one twin's trash can become another twin's treasure.   We will have Sarah from Baby Sensory running a fabulous sensory incursion for babies 0-12months.  Please comment if you are bringing babies and let me know how many so I can let Sarah know how much equipment to bring.   The big 'junk' painting wall was a huge success last year and it's back bigger and better this year.  A giant collage of fun shapes and textures for the kids to paint and create. Rainbow rice and all the recycled bits and bobs makes for a fun sensory play experience.   Come along and join in the fun!    A few Multiplay details for this week and ongoing: When is it? 10am-12pm scheduled Fridays 09:30am-11:30am scheduled Saturdays Where is it? Eastona Kindergarten: 13 Collins Avenue, Altona North What is it? Multiplay is group for multiples and their siblings. We run sessions with multiple activities to suit a range of ages from babies up. If you think your children would be interested in an activity or free play come along! It’s held on the site of an old kindergarten, with fully enclosed indoor and outdoor play areas and a wide range of toys and play equipment. Multiplay is free of charge for WMBA families, as part of your annual membership. A couple of points: WMBA prioritises the health of our members and follows all venue, government guidelines and Victorian Education guidelines when it comes to any vaccination requirements. We also note down your attendance at playgroup for our records. Please note, I often take photos at Multiplay, if I know it’s for marketing a little wider than this page, I will ask your permission to take the photo / share it publicly, but do appreciate someone having a quick word to me if you would prefer to not have your little ones photographed. If you have any questions or feedback about Multiplay, please reach out!   This project is supported by Hobsons Bay City Council through its Make it Happen Grants program.    

MULTIPLAY - MINI MAESTROS Mini Maestro's are back at Multiplay bringing us a fun music incursion for the young and young at heart.  Think songs, instruments, stories, puppets, dancing and of course the giant rainbow parachute. There will be free play before and after to enjoy as well.   Please let Vanessa know how many kiddos you are bringing and their ages so she can make sure the Mini Maestro's team can bring along plenty of equipment for everyone.   A few Multiplay details for this week and ongoing: When is it? 10am-12pm scheduled Fridays 09:30am-11:30am scheduled Saturdays Where is it?
