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 15<sup>th<\/sup> and 17<sup>th<\/sup> at the West Hants Tennis Club where we meet and sent out a flier to local women\u2019s 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\u2019s Academic Network at Bournemouth University and the women\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bournemouth\/files\/2025\/10\/SIB-display-board.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5900\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bournemouth\/files\/2025\/10\/SIB-display-board-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bournemouth\/files\/2025\/10\/SIB-display-board-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bournemouth\/files\/2025\/10\/SIB-display-board.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As our \u2018wish\u2019 for 2025, SI Bournemouth decided to invest some energy in recruiting new&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":839,"featured_media":5900,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Membership Events | News | Blog | Events | SI Bournemouth<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Bournemouth : Blog &amp; News : Membership Events : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Bournemouth .
