Like its newest members the twins' group in Coggeshall is slowly getting to its feet.
St Peter's Hall, Stoneham Street, is the location for the two hour get-togethers for the nine sets of twins, two of whom are identical. Ages range between nine months and two years old.

Anita Sutton, the organiser, said: "Seven sets of twins were born within 14 months of each other so we decided to help one another out. There are around 14 sets of twins under 15 in the village."
Mrs Sutton's boys Arthur and Thomas, 17 months old, also attended the group and she said the group meetings help as they reach the age when they start to remember faces and interact with other children.
Guiding the parents along the way until the children reach the age of five is health visitor, Fiona Courtauld, who said on average a set of twins is born every 86 births.
The twins group is hoping to become a regular fixture. Call 01376 563011.
