Canterbury and West Coast Branch | Country Christmas Celebration - Selwyn Bus Trip

Kia ora Celebrant Friends

We warmly invite you to the CANZ Canterbury and West Coast branch annual end of year Bus Trip, a chance for all of us to get together, tour some venues you may or may not have seen before, get a glimpse of something new, and have a shared lunch together at one of the locations. 

This is a fun day out planned just before we all get into the seriously busy period. It is an opportunity to spend time interacting with other members- and having some fun as well, to close out a busy year!

Please ensure you arrive before 10:15am so the bus can depart on time and we can all make the most of our time together.

Your local CANZ CanWC Exec Committee have been working hard on this opportunity, so please make the most of the tours with your fellow ✨celebrilliants✨ as we all get to explore the Selwyn region. 💍💒💍
