If you have nothing to repair but want to learn some new skills then come along and learn how to knit, sew, mend, crochet or almost anything else! It is fun, relaxing, social and makes you feel good to be looking after your things in this way. All welcome, just drop in. *Generally these are available each weekend but check out the latest Facebook Event to see which repairers are on for that weekend.

Kangatraining at Ginninderry
Come and join Kangatrainer, Mel Holt, for a babywearing/baby adjacent exercise class with fellow parents at The Link. From the website: Kangatraining is a complete workout during which both cardiovascular endurance/flexibility and muscular capacity/strength are enhanced. Unlike traditional exercise classes, new mums need not worry about finding a babysitter or minding an unsettled baby during class because the babies are worn on them and get to be part of the action! As well as the physical benefits, the opportunity to meet other local mums in a fun, relaxed environment boosts their emotional wellbeing. The pelvic floor and abdominal muscles as well as correct posture are given special attention. Kangatrainers are also trained in babywearing best practices and can help mums ensure the safest and most comfortable carrying positions for their babies. The name ‘Kangatraining’ comes from ‘Winnie the Poo’ where by the Kanga mother dotes on her playful and energetic baby joey Roo! Contact Mel through Facebook to book. Book here
