A BARNARD Castle baby group could be about to expand.

A group of about 15 people meet at The Hub every Wednesday, dropping between noon and 3pm. It has been run on an informal basis but Hub manager Rachel Tweddle will expand it by providing a bigger room if enough people are interested in bringing toddlers as well as babies.
