Would you like to make more NWR friends, connect with NWR members all over the country and feel more engaged with NWR as a national organisation? Would you enjoy sharing your thoughts and hearing from others on a range of topics? If you would, why not join our friendly Facebook groups. You are assured of a warm welcome and, once accepted, you are free to add comments and start new conversations any time you wish.
To join a NWR Facebook Group go to Facebook, then search for the name of the group you want to join (listed below) and ask to join by answering the three membership questions. It is important to answer these questions to assist our admin/moderator team in verifying your membership and you may be refused access without this.
If you’re not yet sure about using Facebook, rest assured this is a private and safe way to get involved, secure in the knowledge that only current members of NWR have access to our official groups. Requests to join our groups are checked by the Facebook admin team to make sure only current members of NWR are admitted and lapsed members are removed (without exception).
“I love knowing I can contact my NWR friends at any time.“
If you think there is scope for a new group, you are welcome to contact any of the Admin team to discuss your idea – it’s how several new groups have started.
