Ipswich and District Club have had an action packed month this month:
In March, similar to previous years, we were invited to help mark International Women’s Day at Suffolk County Council, Endeavour House, Ipswich. The Club had a stand at the event and some members were able to attend talks.
The day included a welcome and introduction by
Andrea Hill – Chief Executive of Suffolk County Council as well as aspirational talks from:
§ Raegan Delaney – Headteacher, Nayland Primary School
§ Assis Carreiro – Artistic Director and Chief Executive, Dance East
§ Bridget Taylor – Chief Executive, Customer Service Direct
§ Sue Lowndes – Head of Fostering and Adoption, Suffolk County Council
§ Hilda Turner – Chairperson, ACE.
We were delighted to meet so many interesting men and women on the day and also to raise our profile as a vibrant and active club in the region.
February also brought with it the return of an evening of entertainment and cerebral challenge in the form of a women’s themed quiz night at the Ipswich and Suffolk Club, Northgate Street. The quiz raised nearly £800 towards our quadrennial project – Project Sierra and was attended by 60 women from a variety of businesses and professions. In fact, the event proved so successful, we have been asked when we will be running an event of its kind again ….. Watch this space!
