Celebrating long service and welcoming new faces

Bridgend Soroptimists had a double opportunity to celebrate at last week’s meeting. President Ruth was delighted to welcome Julie Phillips as a new member. Julie has joined us on a number of occasions and is now looking forward to being Soroptimist and contributing on a range of projects.

We also celebrated Felicity Ladbrooke receiving her long service award for 45 years’ service as a Bridgend Soroptimist. Well done and congratulations Felicity!

President Ruth said, “It has been an absolute delight this evening to formally welcome Julie and also to recognise the amazing service Felicity has given to the club. We are very lucky to have so many talented members and the club continues to go from strength to strength.”

Celebrations continued over a relaxed evening of crafting when members made Christmas stars under the guidance of members Sue Jones and Sue Davies. The stars will be displayed on the Soroptimist Christmas Tree at the Bridgend Christmas Tree Festival in Nolton church in December.
