Lagos Ladies Sunday Brunch Group was set up a year ago by Liz Ryan, who never in her wildest dreams imagined that it would take off like it has. “To date, we have over 900 members and 52 brunches behind us,” said Liz, who loves her “Sunday family”.
The reason she set up the Facebook Group was to get together with ladies like herself, who don’t have family here or just want to make new friends, especially if they are new to the area. She was blown away by the response when 300 ladies joined in the first two weeks, and with around 25 to 35 meeting each Sunday, lasting friendships have been formed throughout the year, spilling out into friendships between couples who now meet regularly.
“There is no magic formula or agenda when we meet, it just works and we have so much fun. You just have to take a leap of faith, join the group (no subscription) and pop in any Sunday. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain,” said Liz, who has lived in Lagos for many years.
