Soroptimist International is a world-wide organisation with 72,000 members in 122 countries and is a Global Voice for Women. Alongside our annual Federation (SIGBI) conference, Soroptimist International holds a quadrennial Convention and in 2023 this was in the historic city of Dublin, in Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Two Bridgend Soroptimists, Judith Lewis and Rayner Rees, joined 1600 Soroptimists from all five Federations including Soroptimist International Africa Federation, Soroptimist International of the Americas, Soroptimist International of Europe, Soroptimist International of Great Britain & Ireland and Soroptimist International of the South West Pacific. \u00a0The theme of the Convention was \u201d Challenge the Future\u201d\u00a0 and brought together speakers from across the globe, as well as a series of seminars, workshops, round table discussion and poster sessions. Take this visual trip through the convention.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

SI Bridgend was delighted that it\u2019s Programme Action poster was selected for display. The poster highlights the work we do with the women\u2019s refuge in Bridgend through Llamau. It was displayed throughout the convention and generated a great deal of discussion. Thank you to Rayner and Judith for being available to talk to visitors about the project.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Judith and Rayner also enjoyed the social programme which included a Friendship Evening and Convention Dinner. They met members from some of Bridgend\u2019s Friendship link clubs. Chris Knight from SI Moreton North Inc in Queensland, Australia, a frequent SI Convention attendee, enjoyed a chat and coffee with Rayner. They also met with Rita Mackenzie of SI Courtenay in British Columbia, Canada, exchanging greetings and updating each other on our club projects.<\/span><\/p>\n
