About the club
The club formed in July 1983 when a few parents of multiples got together to offer each other advice, help and support. It didn't take long for other multiple families to see the beneifit in belonging to a supportive and helpful club.
We are connected to the Australian Multiple Birth Association (AMBA) and all our members become members of this national body as well.
We are a not-for-profit community club ran by volunteers. We hold committee meetings once a month, either at Hibiscus Tavern in Darwin, or Arch Rivals in Palmerston.

Thank you very much to all our sponsors.
Many businesses in the Northern Territory and beyond have generously donated money and/or goods to our club and to the Convention we hosted in September 2009. As a community not-for-profit club, we rely on funding grants, fund raising, and the goodwill of others to operate. We also rely heavily on member involvement, i.e. member's fund raising efforts and our committee who run and organise the club so efficienty. Thank You!
