Here are some pics from Oxford!
We all met in the university parks, and walked through historic Oxford, ending up at a church hall for a tea party. ITV News and the Oxford Mail both joined for part of it too! Guin made a fab banner from fabric donated by sling meet attendees, and we handed flyers to all the baby bjorn users we passed! It was a loooong walk, but loads of fun!

I currently have 2 tinokis wraps and am looking to trade for a wrapsody/gypsy mama Bali Breeze Baby (woven not stretch). Does anyone know how I can?

Also, my boy and I are famous! YAY! welldone I'm the one with the blue wrap and the gorg boy in the bomber hat!

Sorry if I went on about how nice it was that day - it's because it was! All the mums (well, certainly most of them) at my daughter's school are horrific - nice to be with some like-minded people. :hug:

Heather, Sam and I think you're fab!

Just a shame the weather wasn't up to it. Maybe we can have a british babywearing week in the summer. Let's make it official too - with loads of press! (One day my dream of getting babywearing on the front cover of a red top newspaper will come true... :rolleyes: )

I hope everyone had as good a time as I did, love to hear from someone who was who remembers me!

[brooklyn]

Oh how great - now I need to figure out how to recharge my camera's battery. I'm sure my 4 yr old dd could do it, how come I can't?:D

Our Manchester pics are on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/908700@N24/) we had a great day. :)

Love Jeanette

Hi Laura, we chatted at the end of the meal, i'm the one in the blue marimekko print MT.

Have you tried the yahoo baby swap group - it's really good for buying selling trading, or rumplebums? the yahoo link is...

Hope to see you again - perhaps at the RFH meet? but can't remember if you were from out of london or not.

Jenny and Henry x

ps the oxford sling meet banner is great!!!

[Mum-of-six]

Hi Laura :hello:
Have you tried Rumplebums yet? They have a very busy for sale or trade (FSOT) forum.
I live in High Wycombe & have yet to make a Watford meet but look forward to chatting with you when I do! (I'm guessing as you live in Croxley Green that's your nearest?)
Nicky

I was at the Tate I had the brown stretchy wrap on
