The handbook is an A5 full colour bimonthly booklet that will be delivered to 10,000 homes in Canterbury.
It will have community pages - What's On, local telephone numbers and websites, competitions, puzzles and editorial highlighting local restaurants and other interesting organisations, businesses and charities.

Rag and Bag Trade - clothes swapping
Thurs 9th August 7 - 9pm
Great Bower, Shottenten Lane, Molash CT4 8EZ

Back by popular demand! After the success of our Hag's Rag and Bag Trade in November.

Bring along clothes and accessories you no longer want... take away anything that takes your fancy that someone else has brought!

£1 at the door
Please bring

  • a mirror or something to hang clothes on - a rail or a drying rack
  • some drink
  • some nibbles

A women only event

Just come along on the night...

How to get there:
Take the A28 out of Canterbury and head towards Chilham. At Chilham go towards Challock on the A252 (i.e. don't turn off towards Ashford) for about a mile or so - up a hill and then take the turning on the right - we will put balloons here. If you get to the George Pub or Challock you have gone too far.

Drive down the road for about half a mile and you will see a big asbestos farm building. The track to Great Bower is just past the building on the right (more balloons). Keep going down the track until the end and park where you can.

"I just wanted to say a big thankyou for a brilliant weekend !. I really enjoyed it, and I know that the rest of our group did too.  We have decided to spend more time outdoors camping and I am looking forward to the summer holidays now, rather than dreading the 'what can we do mum' senario. For me, I feel much more confident in the open, and can't wait to get back out there. How amazing too, that I didn't miss my material posessions one bit !      Hannah, you and your team have been a true inspiration!"

Do you get nervous when you have to speak to a group of people?

Canterbury Communicators is a speaking (and listening) club that I belong to. We meet every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 7.15 – 9.30pm at the Manor Barn.

Please note - We are having a summer break so there are no more meetings until Tues 28th August

Members of the club learn to give speeches and take on certain roles each evening. Leadership skills and communication skills are developed in a very supporting and fun atmosphere.

Guests are always welcome and encouraged to participate to get the most enjoyment from the evening. The club belongs to a world-wide umbrella organisation ‘Toastmasters’ – but we are far removed from the classic image of a toastmaster.
