First of all, why join our twins club?

What do you get in return for the price of your membership?

The Aldershot & Farnborough Twins and Triplets Club was founded to give support to parents of young multiples - twins and more - in the Farnborough, Aldershot and surrounding areas. Anyone who has been there knows how difficult it can be adjusting to life with one new baby, let alone two or more at the same time, and the support group that helps you through the early months remains just as important as the children grow towards school age.

More than anything, at the Aldershot & Farnborough Twins and Triplets Club you get to meet with other parents of multiples, people who understand what it takes to bring up more than one child of the same age at the same time. It is not necessarily harder bringing up twins than bringing up two children of different ages, but it is different. Everyone at the club is dealing with twins or more, and can offer genuine experience, and swap tried and tested solutions to all your problems. In turn you too can give advice back to the club: a steady stream of inexperienced parents joins all the time.

We have a Playgroup at Derby Green every Friday, this is the hub of our club and all are welcome! It is for all ages from 0+ as we have a seperate baby area and activities for the older ones too. If you are pregnant and want to see what life is like with twins or more come along and have a chat and a cuppa!

The next good reason is that the club takes care of the Mums: recognising that - in general - Mums do not often get a break, we organise nights out specifically to ensure that they do: an evening round at somebody's house, a quiz night down the pub, a meal at a restaurant; anything that gives Mum a few hours peace!

The Dads are not forgotten either and and 'Dads Nights out' happen every couple of months and are usually along the lines of a snooker evening or something similar.

The club also organises trips, functions and days out to include the whole family - from simple local picnics to days out at major attractions - bringing the non-twin children and the fathers into the fold.

We write our own monthly newsletter, which contains lots of useful information about what is going on in the coming weeks and months, and usually has a report from a committee member on the stage they are at with their twins or triplets.

All events are also listed on the What's On section of the website.

Annual membership is £15 per family joining or continuing their membership between July and December or £7.50 per family joining between January and June.

Additional costs may be requested for Club-organised trips, while the weeky playgroup is charged at £1.50 per family per session for members, and £2.50 per family per session for non-members.
