Childfree Women Oxfordshire

Bicester, K2

Childfree Women Oxfordshire
This is a group for women who have chosen not to have children, where you can connect, share experiences and make real friends. It's about celebrating our freedom and the choices we have made whilst respecting the choices of others. Women of all ages are welcome. We meet at least monthly and often several times a month, with the meet-ups planned by different members of the group each time. We organise everything through our WhatsApp group, which is very active, so please don't join if that's not a good fit for you and what you're after at the moment. **Why join us:** You may be new to Oxfordshire... You may have just heard that the last of your core friends is pregnant... You may be finding that your friends are less available or completely preoccupied with their kids. You may be exhausted with justifying to everyone who wants to know why you're not having babies! In this group, you can be yourself, safe in the knowledge that we are childfree and 'get it'. The paths that bring us to childfree are many and varied but we are united by positively embracing it. Please note this is not a platform for bashing parents or to be anti-babies/children. Let's also be respectful of those who may be child-less not through choice. **The WhatsApp Community** Because different members organise different events, all of our chat and organisation takes place on our WhatsApp community (rather than on this Meetup page). We use WhatsApp to get to know each other and share childfree content, and with 100 of us on there so far, it can be pretty active! We currently have 30 subgroups within our community including ones for: * Abingdon, Didcot & Wantage * Banburyshire Ladies * Book club * Cat Appreciation * Climbing/bouldering * Childfree couples * Dog walking * Endometriosis * Events & Meetups * Farm Shops * General childfree chat * Hiking * Horseriding * Ice Skating * Jiu Jitsu * Oxford * Murder mystery * Newbies * Paddleboarding * Salsa * Tabletop gaming * Thirsty Meeples * Unfortunate - The Musical Parody * Weight loss, exercise & nutrition accountability * Wild swimming Of course, you can turn your notifications off and catch up with the chat when you can, but if you're not interested in joining the WhatsApp community and getting involved with us on there, then we're probably not the right fit for you right now. If you'd love to join a friendly and active community, then pop me a message with your name and mobile number and I'll add you to our WhatsApp group. Get involved! Come to events, bring your ideas for what you want to do and contribute to the organisation of events. **RSVP etiquette:** Life can get in the way. Plans can change. We get that. A 'no show' can leave other members in an awkward position at a half empty table and your organiser spending half the night looking out for people who may never come. It's just manners - so please give as much notice as possible if you can no longer attend an event. **Sarah** **Group Organiser**
