Events
Your committee endeavours to arrange a wide variety of event for children of all ages. If there is anything or anywhere you would like to go, then mention it to anyone on the committee and we will try and arrange it. The Christmas Party and the annual summer holiday are very popular. Our regular events are drop in sessions at Hop Skip and Jump for parent and toddler group and weekend picnics. We also try to arrange events during the major school holidays. We also have several trips to the theatre organised. See details below. Our events are open to any members of the family.
Latest News
Our first committee meeting of the year identified the dates for the year and some activities. We have since put together a full schedule of activities.

Parent and Toddler Group
These session are principly for parents of pre school children, Helen England has been arranging them at Hop Skip & Jump but few if any have turned up as the numbers of new mums is low, contact Helen on 0117 9774778 if you are interested. A group has also recently been set up in Weston-Super-Mare for more information see Annabel 01934 832077 if you are interested.
Saturday Sports Sessions
We have re-started the sports sessions, but with a different set-up from before. Now parents can sit in the coffee area to watch their children- rather than standing at the back of the hall. This gives us a better opportunity for parents to talk, and the children were more inclined to join in. The sessions are held at St Paul’s Sports Academy, M32 Bristol, from 12.30 pm – 1.30 pm, the cost is £2.75 per child. The sessions are for children with Down’s Syndrome over the age of 8 and their siblings. Please contact Jane Yeoman 0117 904 2807 for more information.
