Dear All
We are sorry to inform you that the Malmesbury Nearly New Sale on Saturday 8th October 2011 has had to be cancelled. This was out of our control – unfortunately some floor refurbishment works at the Secondary School have over-run and therefore the sports hall will not be fit for use in time. We can only apologise for the late notice – we have done everything we can in the last couple of days to try and find another suitable venue but it is a challenge to find an available location when we had such short notice ourselves.
We are clearly disappointed as we enjoy running these events both as a service to local families and also to raise funds to enable us to run other events, and to that note, we are in the process of securing a venue for a spring sale which will be held in March 2012.
Thank you for your time and support.
The NNS Team


Are you making the transition to parenthood in 2012 and wish to build your own network of support with other local mums and dads?

Malmesbury branch offers a wide range of social activities for parents in the area including coffee mornings, breastfeeding support and pub nights for mums and dads. The branch covers a wide rural area including Malmesbury and the outlying villages including Crudwell, Somerford, Hullavington and Sherston.

You can book now your place for a class that suits your personal needs. For more information, please contact Melanie at bookings3d@nct.org.uk or on 08442 436947.

Are you looking for a great way to meet new people, perhaps use your creative talents and work with an enthusiastic team of volunteers? Then we can offer you some great opportunities! We currently have the following roles in our branch: secretary, fundraising and nearly new sale coordinator. No experience is necessary and you can offer as many or as few hours a month as you are able to. Please contact us for more information. Your help will be greatly appreciated and more parents-to-be in our area will be supported by your efforts and most importantly: you will make new friends and you will have fun!

We are very pleased to inform you that the branch revival meeting that took place on Thursday the 17th of June had a very happy ending: Malmesbury NCT can continue to exist thanks to new and enthusiastic members who came forward to complete the committee team! This means that local parents and parents-to-be can continue to benefit from the support and friendship that the branch has been offering them for the last 24 years.

This doesn’t mean that new people are not needed though! The larger the team, the lighter the workload – volunteering is fun, allows you to use your experience and gain new skills (good for your CV), and you have the satisfaction of knowing that you’re helping the NCT make a difference for parents. Please contact Gynnette R. at coordinator@malmesburynct.org.uk to find out how you can help.
