Getting ready for 2005

The end of the year is rapidly approaching and for me this means finalising all the plans for next year (at least the first six months) and reviewing the programs we are developing at Birth International in readiness for their implementation in the New Year. It is also the time we decide on the new products we will be including in our range next year and get our catalogue ready for publication.

The main events on the horizon at the “Future Birth: With woman with child” tour that will travel around Australia in March and the “Preparing for Birth - new approaches in antenatal education” Conference in the UK in April. The full details of both of these major events are on the web site, along with the details of how to register and how to save money by registering as a group, or early (or both). We also have special student rates. Click on the titles to take you to the appropriate information.

The workshops that I will be offering are also being finalised. Some will be available in February in Australia, but most will be in the UK or Europe in April, Australia in May and in the UK again in June/July. There are a few dates for UK/Europe programs in the mid year round still available and if anyone is interested in hosting such a program, they can find the details on how to do this by clicking here.

I have had a lot of fun reviewing the new products for our extensive mail order range. There is a large number of new items, from books, CDs, DVDs Educational packages, charts and of course videos that you will be able to choose from. There will be something for everyone in this collection, which will be announced at the end of January when the catalogue is released. If you would like to receive a paper copy, click here, to send us your details.

Meanwhile, we have our office Christmas “party” tonight and this year we are going to the theatre for a night of laughs and fun at a brilliant satirical show featuring politicians and larger than life Aussie characters. We’ll all enjoy this I am sure - the show has been widely praised and there are never enough laughs in life......
