does anyone belong to the national womens register?

Hi.
There is a local N W R group near me and I don`t know what it is. Is it like the womens institute where everyone is over 50 and bakes cakes for fun?
Someone enlighten me!

It used to be called the National Housewives Register (I think - housewives were definitely in there somewhere!)

I believe the definition is "for lively-minded women" and it's more intellectual than domestic, they give each other talks and stuff. They do tend to be 40+ I think.

HTH!

I've belonged to NWR for many years and really enjoy it. Groups vary from area to area, with some having a younger profile than others. There's absolutely no baking required, the idea is that you meet and discuss topics outside the usual range of home/work/children. The discussion I went to on Thursday was about the Seven Deadly Sins.

Some groups run a separate book group or other groups, depending on members interests. You can try two meetings before deciding to join and it's only about 14gbp a year anyway. NWR has been a lifeline to me when we've moved around, I have many friends I originally met at meetings.
