Here we are enjoying the Sari tying demonstration at Forest Spice .Debbie was a good model,and we raised £536 towards this project

We are launching our new website to coincide with our Club’s 70th Birthday.The women who founded our club would be amazed that we have a website and can communicate our enthusiasms to the world and all women who share our ideals.The technology may have changed but not our deep held belief that we can make a difference.Here we are celebrating with  Regional President Carole Atkinson about to cut the cake

2008 saw the Club support another young woman, Kelly Corcoran, on the path to a career as a Conductor, when President Debbie handed the then Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s Principal Conductor Marin Alsop a cheque for £900. We applaud Marin and the Orchestra on this ground breaking scheme to help a woman enter into a male dominated profession,and look forwards to future fundraisers. We enjoyed considerable support at these both from both the Orchestra and members of The Friends of the BSO. The events were  attended by Marin herself who managed to fit this into her schedule,taking the opportunity to speak about her work.
