Oh also let me know if you think I am flogging a dead horse and shouldnt start this in the first place!

What's the name of the group on facebook?

Hi !

Hi!

I think this is a great idea!!!!! Just what i've been looking for. I deactivated my facebook account months ago, so i can't gain access to this group .

hi alison,

good idea! there's always need for more mums groups.

i don't know if you've come across it, but there's also a new web community for foreign mums and mums to be here in geneva, called 'bumps and bups' -  http://bumpsnbubs.com. it's only about a month old, and it's free and open to anyone who wants to meet other mums or just discuss things on the forum.

Great to see that people are keen for getting together!

Bumps 'n Bubs started a year ago through Glocals with picnics in the park and seems to have grown and grown.  Last month we launched a website (www.bumpsnbubs.com) to help coordinate discussions and events, and also to estblish relevant information such as reviews, services and places. Registration is free, and everyone is welcome!

Al, it's good to have information in as many places as possible, so why not continue with a Facebook page too! :) 

Thanks everyone for the support, Ill go ahead with it and see how it goes as I dont want to compete, just want to give more information to those out there and meet more mums myself!!!

So come on girlies - join them all!

'Geneva mums' - facebook group

Bumps 'n Bubs - Internet website

Meetup - internet site with 2 groups for Geneva Mums

Citymom - internet site with a group for GVA mums

Enjoy ladies And fill your boots with GVA Knowledge!

Completely agree.  We need all the info/friends we can have to get to help us enjoy this time with our lil ones. Especially those of us whose families aren't so close by...

My kids are too old now, but I just wanted to ive you my support.

When I was in Japan with a new baby, I started an international moms and toddlers group and we met weekly. When I left two years later it was around 30 members strong and we all got a lot out of it (50/50 Japanese to Foreigners).

Yay for Geneva moms!!  

Can't find Geneva Mums on facebook? Has anyone got an update or tip about that?

I am not sure what has happened to the Geneva mums group on facebook. It is still there but all members seem to have disappeared including me! Anyway this is the link to the group https://www.facebook.com/groups/111230108905980/ and there is also another one one facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/213267018732465/ not a member but someone suggested it.

Hope that helps
