She said that although it had been the most difficult of circumstances, Club members had pulled together and thrived over that time. Our last face-to-face meeting had been in March 2020 and by the beginning of April we were already dipping our toes in the electronic world and started meeting via Zoom. Sharon was delighted to say that the Club had met every two weeks since April 2020, with a range of speakers, discussion sessions and interactive meetings. We had shared fun and friendship with virtual morning coffee, afternoon tea and cakes, and the occasional gin! Several members had also joined in a Saturday morning Well-being session.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4638\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4638\" style=\"width: 635px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2021\/04\/210428-SI-Bridgend-Change-of-INsignia.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4638\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2021\/04\/210428-SI-Bridgend-Change-of-INsignia.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2021\/04\/210428-SI-Bridgend-Change-of-INsignia.png 635w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2021\/04\/210428-SI-Bridgend-Change-of-INsignia-300x138.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4638\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Change of Insignia as President Sharon hands over to President Gaynor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In a virtual hand-over, Sharon then inaugurated Gaynor Hoare as president for the coming year.
