Updates to website

Just wanted to let everyone know that some of the banner photos at the top of the webpages have changed. Karen's daughter Steph provided us with some stunning photos to use, and Louise sent some photos to be added to Flickr, and they are now banner photos too. So come on - if you want to show off your photographic skill, contact Sam via the SWHEN list. There's plenty of room for more.

Also don't forget to check out the Flickr group. There is now a Flickr badge on the news page, showing a selection of the photos. Click on it to get to the group page. Join Flickr, join the group and get your HE photos uploaded. :-)

I hope everyone is finding the website useful. Remember, if you have any ideas that you would like to see on the website, contact us - via the contact page or the SWHEN list, and let us know. We will do our best to suit everyone!

Newport Meeting - 30th June

This Monday the Newport group are meeting at Tredegar Park, Newport, instead of the hall. There's a splash play area, so towels/change of clothes would be a good idea! Meet at the play area from about 12 o'clock.
If anyone needs directions or more information, please see the SWHEN list, or contact Hannah.

Museum on the Move bus - 18th July

Michelle has organised a visit from the Museum on the Move bus, part of Hereford museum, which aims to bring the museum exhibitions out to rural schools and groups. The bus is set up as an interactive multi-sensory exhibition that looks at climate change, with an emphasis on fun and hands-on interaction.
The bus will be outside the Monmouth hall from 9am to 3pm on Friday 18th July. Having the hall booked as well allows extra space for more museum activites, and somewhere for the little ones to play (and toilets!)
The final price is dependent on the number of families, but hopefully only a few pounds per family, or less.
Please let Michelle know if you are interested, via the SWHEN list.

Newport Meeting 16th June

As a number of people are away at the moment, there may be a meetup at Tradeger Park instead of at the hall. If you wish to meetup, could you please let Hannah know asap, for the numbers. Please see the SWHEN list for more upto date information.

UPDATE : This meeting is now cancelled due to insufficient numbers. Please see SWHEN list if you wish to organise an ad-hoc meeting.
