Sarah Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 im interested to know if they have a jumping castle for the kids or some other activity, as last year there wasnt anything at all for the kids other then SANTA offcourse .cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiona Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 Yes I absolutely agree Sarah, I had a heck of a time keeping mine entertained last year. Kids love to do active things and not just hang about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanceswithDingoes Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 'Uncle Dave' I have two 'well-behaved' children that will 'imprint' on you if there's not enough to occupy them :D Just ask 'Uncle Mark' about them. : PS please hide any microphones from my 'Aussie Idol' son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi Davidwell at this late stage chances of finding a jumping castle are slim as most companies would be booked out now, i guess you might have more luck with a face painter that would at least keep the kids entertained for a short while.cheersSarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiona Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 You never know your luck. My thoughts on face painting is that you can only keep one kid occupied at once with them. Maybe a clown or something if no castle? We definitely need something for the kids I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 what about a clown who makes things out of balloons and a face painter that would keep them entertained for a bit. No i dont know anyone in either profession however im sure you might get a mum or two that might volunteer for the face painting job.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorroz Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi all , My understanding is that ANITA has organised a castle and a face painter ,maybe that should make a few of you happier :D ,as there was nothing at all for the kids last year except Santa Although it is a Xmas party i dont really feel it is the obligation of the club to entertain and control the children.

Cichlids_au Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi FionaI missed the last committee meeting and am yet to recieve the minutes from it. As soon as I do I will update the web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiona Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi Kevin,Anita is BRILLIANT!!!! :Great news that there are entertainments for the kids. I agree that it's not the club's responsibility to control kids. However in that kids are encouraged to come along to this meeting (or that is what I surmise, since Santa is bringing them pressies, and very nice pressies at that if last year's are anything to go by), it's a nice idea for the kids and their parents if there is entertainment for the kids. Anyone who has kids knows how hard it can be to keep them diverted for a few hours if it's only/mostly adult stuff happening, and while it's possible, it can be a challenge to keep them out of other adult's hair and so on, and doing so can also reduce the enjoyment for the parents. So while I agree that it's not the responsibility, it's a very nice idea, much appreciated, and may induce some parents to come along with their kids who might otherwise have stayed at home. :p :^:Hi Mark,Great thanks :^: . I know how hard it can be for busy people to keep a club website updated - I do one myself for one of my dog clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cichlids_au Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Kev's understanding is actually a fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23Skidoo Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I dunno troopers? If you are all members of the club, and these members have kids, then i think it is the clubs responsibility to help keep em entertained! Otherwise the members of the club wouldn't be able to get together! Anyhoo, i thought most clowns/face painters did all the same thing, there's a couple up here who are clowns, they do parties/whatever and hire themselves out on the basis they keep kids busy! I don't know if they'd travel to Sydney, but their business is to keep kifds out of their parents hair at gatherings. I wish i could let you know their name but i only know their real names.

YeW Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi Guys & Gals -I think Kev's comment may have needed a few more emoticons :D. While it certainly isn't the responsibilty of the club to control children of members - it is a family society and kids have been thought about in the planning of the xmas meeting.After all - we adults (well, me and you adults) need to be able to have a good chat .Mark and I will get to updating the website asap - I'll take my camera also and post some pics of the day on the web.:D, Cheers - David and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
