Wow, what a great idea Laura!! I've always wanted to do something like this in Nelson as we don't have any cloth nappy stores here and so many people just don't know what they're all about. I wish I could have attended something like this with my first baby!
Best of luck! I hope it's a success for you

What a fab idea!
Also another thing that would be great to add in would be different styles of baby wearing, ie wraps & slings. You can find slings in some shops but not any other type.

I'd be keen. I'd love to go cloth, esp as we have more children planned, but while we can budget for disposables in the weekly shop, the inital costings of cloth would eat up at what little savings we have. Now with a mortgage as well, I would like to learn ways around that, as we need all of our savings to work on the new place and as a back up plan...

Flake,
Why don't you slowly build up a nappy supply or better yet divert 1/2 the money from your weekly shop for sposies into buying some mcn. If you use trade me you might find some cheap on there too.
Basically buy the odd one and build up a supply slowly.

I'd suggest either building up your stash gradually (one or two nappies per month) or buying some preloved from Trade Me or The Nappy Network. As long as you ask questions about the condition of the nappy you can pick up some real bargains at the fraction of the price of a brand new nappy. Often you can even pick up new nappies or ones that have only been worn once or twice because someone has change their mind
