Canterbury Group 2 was formed in 2014 in response to the growing popularity of the NWR in Canterbury and now consists of 14 lively minded, sociable women . We are open to fresh ideas, keen to try a variety of activities and welcome women of all ages and backgrounds.  We meet fortnightly on Wednesday afternoons in the informal atmosphere of members’ homes. We follow a similar but separate programme of events to Group1,  both light-hearted and serious, chosen by our members.

These include discussions, talks, quizzes, daytime walks, guided tours, visits, theatre trips and also Christmas and Summer parties to which partners and friends are invited. Some of these activities are shared with Group 1 and members of both groups are welcome to attend the Lunch and Film Clubs. Why not get in touch to find out more? It’s a great way to make friends, especially if you are new to the area.
