• How do I pay the membership fees?

  How do I pay the membership fees?

  Membership fees for Doha Mums are QR150 (US$42) per year and are paid online.  You can download the instructions for online payment here. You are welcome to have a friend make the payment on your behalf, regardless of whether or not that person is a member of Doha Mums.

  Certain members or event coordinators may be willing to make the transaction for you in exchange for the QR150 in cash, plus a QR20 "convenience fee". While we sincerely doubt that there would be any problems with transactions made by a member or coordinator on your behalf, Doha Mums is not responsible for any loss, theft or misunderstanding that might result from these transactions.

• Are members required to host playgroups?

  Are members required to host playgroups?

  Members are not required to host playgroups, but we do hope you will enjoy attending them enough that you decide to do so. 

  The playgroup need not be at your home - you can organize a “playgroup” at the park, an indoor play area or other locations around Doha.

  Organizing a playgroup at a public venue can involve little more than scheduling the event on our online calendar and being on the lookout for new members at the event - it is very easy!

• I’d like to host a playgroup, but my house is too small. Are there any options for me?

  I’d like to host a playgroup, but my house is too small. Are there any options for me?

  Absolutely! 

  You can host a playgroup for a specific age-range (e.g. non-mobile babies, one-year olds, young toddlers, etc.), and you may also limit the number of attendees by using the RSVP feature on our members-only website.  We only ask that you save space for at least three prospective members. 
  
  You may also co-host with a member who has a larger home - you bring the snacks, they supply the space, and you both clean up. 
  
  Another option is to “host” a playgroup in a park or in Ray’s Reef, which involves little more than sending out the announcement and reminding parents to bring snacks, water, sunscreen, etc.
