Joanneyes yes yes
I have been trying to encourage other mums to sign up for "meetup" but it would seem to no avail. (Come on girls!) As i am back working part time unfortunately i can not take the responsibility to organise but if you can get something up and running pls let me know as i will make time for my daughter and I to join in!

I'm starting back to work f-t on the 5th September but am happy to host something at my place if anyone is interested. I signed up for the Geobaby Meetup and said that I wasn't fussed where we met although I wasn't particularly keen on any of the venues and as only 5 of us voted it was cancelled anyway. If people are interested I could have a word with my the place I do yoga and see if they would be willing to let people use their meeting space whilst there are no classes are going on. There might be a charge for this and I'm not sure what the score would be with insurance - anyway let me know (1) who is interested at coffee at my place (loads of toys and and playmats too keep children interested) and (2) whether those people at Geobaby Meetup would like me to speak with my yoga group.
There are quite a few mums out there that I know who are really keen to meet people as I've met them through the Book Club - they aren't working so I can put other people in touch with them as well so everyone can start to meet with one another.

Mid-levels Coffee - Anna/Joanne/Alex/Rita
Hi Everyone
Okay I'll take the first step at trying to organise something (although at short notice for which I apologise). Are you able to make coffee on Wednesday afternoon? I've a few people that are interested meeting up next week and Wednesday seems like a good day for them. I was thinking 3pm was a good time especially for those people with afternoon nappers.
My place would be the location - toys, a fair bit of space etc. so should suit most people. Anyway e-mail at [email protected] or respond to this thread so I can get an idea of how many people will be able to make it and I can give you my address.
Look forward to seeing some of you.

hi everyone,
i realize that adequate space is always an issue in hk. my husband is setting up a new american restaurant in the soho area and i suggested to him that during one afternoon per week, he should set up a play area with toys so that mothers can meet up, have some coffee and chat while their kids play together. it would be similar to the preschool group however a little more entertaining for mothers. would anyone be interested? bc i can try to get this started within a few weeks. maybe we can even combine this with a lunch so that working mothers (like me) can join for for a few hours!

Jenny - this would be a brilliant idea especially if it could run over lunch as I'm going back to work soon and was a little sad that Calla (my baby) will miss out on meeting lots of other babies when I return to work (also feeling a little sorry for myself also!). Love Rani's idea of a Sunday Brunch where dad's could meet up as they always seem to be ignored - maybe we could all organise something anyway?
Anyway keep us all posted - you have a definite interested party here.

I think the Sunday brunch with Dad's included sounds great!
Just to add to all of this, there is also the Working Moms Group that has been happening this past month. There have been two lunches so far and a total of about 14 moms who were interested. The idea of the Working Moms Group is for new working moms (mainly with babies under 1year) to meet during their lunch hour because we all can't make it during the weekdays and don't prefer after work either because we want to get home to baby. The location has been at a restaurant in Admiralty because all the moms so far work in Central, Admiralty, and Causeway Bay.
The next lunch will be at the end of the month. So, if there's any working moms out there who are interested, come on board!
Rani - I didn't know whether to post to this thread or the working moms thread. I'll put a same posting at the working moms thread too.

Hi!
I saw this thread only yesterday, but I am so interested, too. Are there any news, where to meet and when. We have quite a "big" flat, so we could also meet here. But this is not Mid Levels, I'm living in Pokfulam. So if this is too far out of town, I would be happy to go to Mid Levels.
Also the Sunday brunch is a great idea.
I hope I'm not too late for all of this. I keep an eye on this thread!
Regards
Marta

nice to see
it's really nice to see things taking action ;-)
it would seem i am spending most my time in Singapore these days so unfortunately can not make any HK "meet ups" till i get back at the end of the month.
Does anyone know if there is a similar thing in Singapore? As i am here so often it would be nice to meet other mummys ;-) especially as i am ALWAYS travelling with my little one.
thanks!

thanks for the response. i will definitely try to set up the afternoon /lunch playgroup idea. my husband said that he is looking into it now. however, the sunday brunch idea may be a little difficult bc they are planning to have sunday brunches but given that the restaurant isnt that large, there probably wont be room for a play area. sorry! but afternoons are perfect since normally, the restaurant isnt very busy.......
Hi Anna!
Looks like we are in the same situation. I am also in Singapore at the moment. I spend a month here and there. I am also trying to hook up with some moms in Singapore for meet-ups. Are you interested? I'm here til mid Sept and will be back in HK after that.
Let me know if you are interested!
