As our ‘wish’ for 2025, SI Bournemouth decided to invest some energy in recruiting new members to extend the capacity of the club to help meet our aims to educate, empower and enable women and girls to reach their full potential. Happily, we have a steady stream of interest in the club generally, but we wanted to try for a step change. Therefore, we held two membership events on October 15th and 17th at the West Hants Tennis Club where we meet and sent out a flier to local women’s networks. We talked to several potentially interested women who were doing classes or playing tennis, giving out literature and taking contact details to follow up afterwards. We also emailed the Women’s Academic Network at Bournemouth University and the women’s group at University Hospital Dorset. To date we have had responses from six potential candidates, and we await the rest of the onslaught in due course!
If you are interested in this and would like to come along to a Soroptimist International Bournemouth meeting to find out more, please email us at sigbibournemouth@hotmail.co.uk.
