Siblings’ big get-together

Aug 12 2008 by Les Stewart, Perthshire Advertiser Tuesday

TWINS-plus-Perth welcomed 25 twins, triplets and their families to a recent open day and teddy bears’ picnic.

Siobhan Moncrieff, co-ordinator, said it was fantastic to see past, present and new families attend from as far afield as St Andrews as well as Auchterarder, Abernethy, Birnam, Blairgowrie and Errol to join in the fun of celebrating life with multiples.

There was plenty of food, cake, balloons and stickers for the children.

She said: “We raised in excess of £130 during our raffle which was drawn by Lorraine Mailer, from the Childcare strategy team and which was generously supported by many local local businesses.”

Kenmar donated a double buggy which was won by one of their members, Donna, who has twins, Harry and Robbie.

“Many thanks to all who attended and everyone who donated to the raffle and bought tickets,” added Siobhan.”
