Cannock Soroptimists held a successful, fun, quiz night at The Barns, Huntington to start off the new year. 64 people tested their knowledge answering questions set by quiz master Chris Wardle, enjoying a hot supper during the interval.
A raffle was held with prizes donated by club members, and the proceeds of the evening – just over £200 – will go towards the Soroptimist BIG project. The BIG project –Birthing in the Gambia – is in its final year of fundraising and Soroptimists all over the UK will be giving the project a final push over the next few months.
The quiz was won by a team of 4 lady magistrates from Stafford and they each won a bottle of wine.
The Cannock club is making final preparations for its 60th year, when Diamond Celebrations will be held throughout the year which begins in April. The founder members first met in July 1954 and the club was chartered in February 1955. The President for the Club’s 60th year will be Dr Janis Lomas and she and her team are already planning some of the events to mark this milestone.
The Club would particularly like to invite past members to join them during the year and are now compiling a list of names and contact numbers to be sure they can give everyone plenty of timely information. If you or a member of your family were a member of SI Cannock & District at any time over the last 60 years the current members would be delighted to hear from you. Please email si.cannock@outlook.com; phone 07971 494510, or speak to any current member of the club. More information is available on the website: www.sigbi.org/cannock-and-district
Cannock Soroptimists hope they are able to contact many of their past members which will make the celebration of their Diamond year even more special!
