GNO
The Imperial Dunbar, 14 Trinity Road, SW17 7RE
19:30 – 23:30
Come along and have cocktails and a curry with your fellow twin mums.
It's a great excuse to get out the house and chat to other mums who know exactly what you're going through, without having to stop a conversation beacause a little one needs your attention! If you don't know anyone, please don't think you can't come along, it's very relaxed and we're all very friendly so hope to see you there!
Cocktails here are apparently divine and food is ordered from the Cardamon Club a few doors down. They only take cash so come prepared!
PLEASE NOTE : Please get a ticket, you don't have to pay but it's just so we can get an idea of numbers so we can book a table.
