Although we haven't officially met since June, we have had a great summer. The South London Lesbian Mums Group was out in force for the London Pride Parade!!!  Big thanks to Caia for sorting out our lovely banner which we all marched under with the greatest of pride!  Mums and kids alike were fantastic. We all know what a big effort it can be to get little ones sorted for a day out - never mind a day out involving parading and being watched by 000s of people!!  The kids rose to the occasion too and kept on marching and waving and smiling the whole way to Whitehall.  We were a little stunned when we hit Regents Street and realised that people were watching us - but we soon got into being cheered and supported along our merry way.  It was great to see some familiar faces in the crowd too!  Thank you so much to everyone who took part.  It was all very emotional and I think everyone felt great at the end.  Next year, we've vowed to rehearse a dance routine to entertain the crowds!!

Our Annual Picnic was also a success with a number of new members joining in with the fun on Peckham Rye. The Picnic Area there is great providing a shady and poo-free space - with added picnic tables!


We also hosted the SLLMG Inaugural Camping Trip!!!  10 families headed off to Forgewood Campsite in Eridge, Sussex at the start of the summer holidays for a weekend of fun and frolics in the lovely countryside and surrounding woodland.  We had so much fun that we plan to do it all again next year. We all had a blast and it was great to spend so much time together.

We're now all ready for the first meeting of the new term this Sunday 11 September when we are encouraging adults and children to share information about places they have stayed and visited and top activities they have engaged in over the holiday period.
