Looking for english mother group with children ages 6 -10 years old

Does anyone know of any english mother's groups with children in the ages between 6-10 years in the Zurich/Baden area?

I am looking for families who have older children that my children can have contact to and can speak english too as they only can speak a little german. We are an Australian/Swiss family living in Baden/Nussbaumen. Our children do go to the local swiss kindergarten. We speak mainly english at home and would like to keep it up. Please if anyone can help that would be great. Thanks .

Unfortunately the playgroups I know of are with Mums of young children. It's often by chance, or at a particular activity, that you meet someone with children who also speak English. Why not put a notice up in English at the grocery store, for example? Have you checked at the Kindergarten as well?

Depending on the sex of your children, we could try to meet you. Our daughter is not keen on playing with boys anymore, she used to love to but now she thinks they smell (which admittedly is a sweeping statement but that's her). She is seven and we live in Zug. PM me if you are interested.

Re: Looking for english mother group with children ages 6 -10 years old

I live in Wohlen & married to an Aussie. My Sons are 5 & 7 years old, speak with a Scottish/Aussie/German accent & very friendly... I sound like I'm applying for a job for them! There is quite a few English speakers around here & we are thinking of starting up a weekly meet up for the kids as there is quite a demand for it...just haven't arranged anything as yet. I know another Oz girl with 3 kids that would like to meet more people. PM me if you want to arrange an afternoon that we can meet.
