\"\"Following the session on Friday, Claire Bell (Acting Federation Director of Membership) introduced us to more ways that members have kept connected during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Many Clubs have met via zoom \u2013 with the whole Club, but also some have met in smaller groups.\u00a0 Many Clubs have also set up WhatsApp groups to keep in touch.\u00a0 Picnics and groups of 6 members (more recently) have been a great way for Clubs to get everyone involved.\u00a0 Phone groups have been invaluable for contacting members and making sure the most vulnerable stay safe and connected.\u00a0 Many Clubs have held meetings with other Clubs online, not all in the UK!<\/p>\n

Claire gave examples of how Clubs have responded to lockdown.<\/p>\n

\"\"SI South Lancashire Region had submitted a video where each Club had shared their experiences.\u00a0 From virtual days out at the races, cheese and wine evenings, sponsored walks and swims \u2013 these were some activities shared by several Clubs.\u00a0 Some Clubs held social walks \u2013 where members can chat and exercise, instead of just meeting online.\u00a0 Various Clubs had been active with crafts \u2013 putting together craft boxes.\u00a0 Also Clubs have made scrubs, scrub bags and knitted hearts for local hospitals.<\/p>\n

SI Canterbury, amongst other activities, arranged for members to send 3 thank you cards each to local care homes, thanking them for their hard work over lockdown.<\/p>\n

SI Midland Chase Clubs have held virtual meetings like many others \u2013 but some Clubs themed their meetings, such as Art Appreciation.<\/p>\n

\"\"SI Lancaster would normally have asked members to wear something orange to their meeting on 25 June, to take photos and raise awareness of Violence against Women issues.\u00a0 However this year they had to do something different \u2013 each member had to submit a photo of either something orange or the member wearing something orange.\u00a0 They then made these into a video which included information about Violence against Women and shared it online, to great results.<\/p>\n

It just shows that some imagination and creativity can keep us all connected during these tough times.<\/p>\n
