Playgroup

27th November: 3 - 5.30pm
Venue: Patrick Fischer and Family New no: 10, Sivakamipuram 2nd Street (it is a house)Thiruvanmiyur.
Suggest you call Patrick if need more directions
Cell Number: 996-222-5815
Directions: The street is a narrow which creates two problems: First, it is difficult to find. If you are going south on LB road, the street is the last left before IMPCOPS. There is a wine shop by the start of the street but I don't think there is a street sign. You can also reach the house from MG road (the Google map above in not correct showing our street as a dead end) but it is more difficult to explain; however, if people (or drivers) know the area, then that might be another option. Second, there will not be room for everyone to park on the street so plan to be dropped off and park on MR Road or other street.

4th December: 3 - 5.30pm
Venue: American International School, Taramani, Children's Playground Please remember to bring your OWC membership cards. Parking outside the gates for non-school parents.Thanks for your cooperation
