The Action Mums networking events are organised by celebrity children’s entertainer Amanda Frolich of Amanda’s Action Kids in West London.  Of her motivation for holding these events, Amanda says:  “I want to bring businesswomen together to find out more about each other’s work, how they can advise each other and make strategic connections and relationships.  Perhaps most importantly, they can find out tips on how to juggle everything. Whether you’re a successful businesswoman or you’re starting a kitchen table business, these events will be invaluable.”

Personalise Your Amanda Fun, Fitness & Music Album Today – only £15.99 + p&p !

For those of you who’ve already got Amanda’s Music CD, you’ll know better than anyone how popular the music is with your toddler, either at home or in the car! You can just see them bouncing along to the music and imagining that they’re at their Amanda classes – great stuff, isn’t it?

Well, here’s the latest innovation from Amanda that we’re sure her many infant and toddler parents will just love:

If you’d like to have your child’s picture and a ’special message’ imprinted on your own personalised copy of Amanda’s very latest Fun, Fitness & Music Album (as shown in the example above) – you’ll be able to submit your ’special message’ and a suitable picture of your infant/toddler directly from your computer via Amanda’s bespoke ‘customisation’ form.

Personalise Your Amanda Fun, Fitness & Music Album Today – only £15.99 + p&p.  A great gift for Christmas!

Suitable for infants and toddlers aged 4 months to 4 years.

How to Buy Your ‘Personalised’ CD:

1. First off, get yourself along to Amanda’s Shop.
2. Enter your “personalisation” details for your CD into the bespoke  form that you’ll find there.
3. Type in your ”Special Message” of not more than 100 characters – there’s clever little ‘counter’ thing that tells you how many characters you’ve got left. 
4. Select an appropriate picture of your little-one from your computer by using the ‘browse’ button on the form.
5. Ensure your images are .jpg or .gif and (ideally) under 1mb in size. Larger images will result in a slower service.
6. After you have completed the ‘personalisation’ form you will be automatically forwarded to PayPal to complete the payment element of the transaction.
7. Once your payment has successfully arrived with Amanda – your picture and ’special message’ will be ‘personalised’ on to the front of the CD (like we’ve shown in the example on the right ) and despatched to you by 1st class post. 

That’s all there is to it.  Hours of fun and frolics await you … and your little ones … and their friends … you get the idea!

Wow, as if Action Amanda hadn’t  already got the busiest life-style of anybody we know – she’s gone and committed to another fantastic new venture: Amanda is aiming to breathe new life into the old Mad Hatters Play Centre at 42 Murdock Rd, Bicester, Oxfordshire, OX26 4PP.

Commencing on  Sunday 29th November with a star-studded OPEN DAY … Alison Wheeler (of Beautiful South fame) is going to host the grand-opening and also do a little bit of performing too.  Alison is one of the many celebrity Mums who take their toddlers to Amanda’s classes and Alison says: “you look for classes to occupy the baby’s day – or at least that was my initial thought. However, having taken several different classes, I can honestly say Amanda’s classes are the most entertaining. I will always have a soft preferential spot for Amanda’s class. She challenges traditional stereotypes for music classes and their teachers. She also encourages mothers to stop and think of the educational and developmental benefits of different elements in her class.”

OPEN DAY - Sunday 29th November 2009
Amanda’s Play Centre
Time: 10:00 am to 6:00 pm
Location: 42 Murdock Rd, Bicester, OX26 4PP
Parking: plentiful & FREE
Price: half-price @ £2 per child
NB: also there’ll be an initial £1 registration fee that will entitle the registrant to a Loyalty Card that will accrue benefits over time for regular attendance: everybody who registers will be entered into a special draw on the day with a super prize of a Voucher for a FREE Amanda Party (value £250!)

What else can you expect of this new exciting venture?

• It’s Amanda’s intention to open 7 days a week from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm
• Amanda will completely overhaul the catering side with a new ‘healthy’ menu of eating and drinking produce
• The Centre will receive the full Amanda flourish with her philosphy of Fun, Fitness and Music taking centre stage
• All Amanda sessions are action packed examples of early childhood education and children are encouraged, through exercise and movement, to have fun and let off steam
• Meanwhile parents /carers can relax and socialise in the cafe area – safe in the knowledge that their little ones are enjoying a great experience.

Want to get involved?
Obviously Amanda can’t do it all on her own and whilst she’s already got her own group of part-time helpers for her various ventures throughout London, she’s also on the look-out for help from people in Bicester who think they’ve got the right kind of instincts and may be interested in getting involved. Amanda’s looking for local Bicester people to fill various part-time / full-time (tbc) roles and local Bicester companies to work with:

• Catering staff to help prepare and serve her ‘healthy’ menu
• Lively enthusiastic ’leaders’ with a sport, leisure, dance type background, ideally in a pre-school children educational setting
• Local Bicester food/produce companies who may be interested in supplying  Amanda’s Play Centre
• Local Bicester companies who may be interested in engaging in promotional / marketing arrangements at Amanda’s Play Centre

If you think any of the above is right for you – then call Amanda for more info on 07946 707 695.
