Thank you for taking an interest in the Giffnock NWR Group which has been established for around thirty years.   Membership is drawn from the South side of Glasgow, Barrhead, Giffnock and surrounding suburbs. Members are a diverse group from all walks of life and interests.

Six monthly programmes provide a wide range of discussion **topics, see below. We also include speaker slots in each six month programme if possible.  Add-on activities include walks, eating out, theatre and visits to places of interest. See some pics in the Gallery.

Our group are a lively bunch, and enjoy a good discussion which can sometimes go off at a tangent, all adding to the fun.

If you are looking for an opportunity to meet with other women in your area please contact us.  We would be delighted to welcome you to either our monthly  coffee mornings or one of our meetings.

Please do get in touch via the website contact form.  Looking forward to hearing from you.
