President Carys’ Friendship Day was held at the Heronston Hotel in Bridgend on 9th April . The theme was Pressures on Women in the 21st Century and the speakers in the morning session were:
Miss Barbara Wilding – Retired Chief Constable of South Wales Police
Dr Denise Harold – MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics – Cardiff University (Alzheimer’s research)
Mrs Cathie Rowe – Financial Planner and co-owner of family Pharmacy business.
The speakers for the day can be seen here – from left to right Helen Murdoch (obscured!) Dr Harold, Mrs Cathie Rowe, Miss Barbara Wilding, Dr Wendi Momen, President Carys (obscured)
Dr Wendi Momen -Social activist. She led a ‘taster’ session in the afternoon using a section of a discourse paper ’Advancing Towards the Equality of Women and Men’ for her talk and facilitated discussion groups. This prompted much discussion – for clubs who want to undertake the sessions with other members the paper is available by clicking the link above.
The day was a great opportunity to meet old and new friends and to share ideas with clubs across the region.
