  This year 12 of us including Soroptimisters went to London and stayed at our very own Soroptimist boutique hotel.    On the first night we all enjoyed and excellent performance of Guys and Dolls at the Bridge Theatre having had an early dinner at the Cote restaurant nearby.  On the second night we gathered at our usual lovely Italian restaurant Taormina near the hotel we were made to feel very welcome and as always enjoyed the ambiance and the excellent food. During the day we made our own arrangements and visited museums, art galleries, many other historic places and places of interest.  We were determined not to let the train strikes spoil our amazing, fun weekend! Many thanks to Ruth and Pauline for making it happen.
