Alex Rickard is a portrait & wedding photographer based in Ardingly. She specialises in relaxed and fun children’s photography taken in the natural environment. www.alexrickardphotography.com • 01444 891596 The Family Grapevine Group is now 20 year old! I am proud to say that I am one of the three original editors and, in November 1998, almost 17 years ago, I published my first edition of the Family Grapevine in the Mid Sussex area when my two lovely daughters were 8 and 10. Now, of course, they are all grown up and have flown the nest, but when they were little, we moved around a great deal due to my husband’s work, and I wish there had been a Family Grapevine every time we moved! The Family Grapevine is full of essential information to enhance your family life and is packed with fun things to do from choosing antenatal, baby or toddler groups; sports, arts or performing arts classes; to finding fun places to visit for all the family during weekends and holidays. The Family Grapevine will also prove indispensable when looking for holiday clubs, childcare, nurseries and independent schools. We also have our ever popular competitions and discount vouchers. We aim to check all the information in The Family Grapevine once a year, but in addition Sports Centres’ listings are checked before each edition. You can help us by letting us know when Toddler Group or Sport Club contact information changes to keep the information in The Family Grapevine as accurate as possible. Please visit our website www.thefamilygrapevine.co.uk/midsussex where there is a comprehensive What’s On, Places to Visit in Sussex and London and lots of interesting blogs as well. I also social network helpful information so please like my page on Facebook called Mid Sussex Family Grapevine or follow me on Twitter #GrapevineGill.
