Canterbury PMAANZ branch is very active and well attended with up to thirty members per meeting. We meet every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 1-2pm, usually at Pegasus Health. We encourage people to bring their lunch and coffee is provided. We also include some evening meetings instead, please see the timetable below for further information. It has been very encouraging to meet new members, we look forward to supporting them and many more new members, in what can be quite an isolated role.
