Twins Clubs in Gloucestershire
Cirencester Twins Club covering Cirencester (Gloucestershire) and surrounding villages.
Cirencester Twins Club was set up in 1995 to provide support to families with twins and multiples living in the area.
Our aim is to provide support, reassurance and friendship and to help ensure that being the parents of twins is a happy and enjoyable experience! The club is affiliated to TAMBA so we are able to keep our members informed of events and news from the National and International network.
Our club diary is always full of exciting events.
On a weekly basis we meet for our Babies and Toddlers group in Cirencester. The children really benefit from time spent with other twins so that the idea that being one-of-two is not so ‘different’.
Once a month we take it in turns to host an evening parents meeting – these are strictly CHILD FREE!. We drink wine, eat pizza, laugh a lot, moan a lot, and generally have a good night out.
We organise various club days out during the year and have an annual summer BBQ and Christmas party.
For more information please contact Rachael
