Friendship links
Members Kathy, Linda and Avril recently travelled to Germany to join in the celebrations of Itzehoe Soroptimist club celebrating their 20th anniversary.
When the Itzehoe club was formed in 2006, the town had an active twinning link with Cirencester therefore, it made sense to form a Friendship Link between the two Soroptimist clubs. There has been an active hosting exchange between members since.
In addition to an evening of friendship and entertainment, our German friends organised a weekend of activities … eating and drinking in a local wine bar, a visit to the church, a tour of the town with the emphasis on important women throughout their history and a visit to an arts centre created in an old cement works.
We look forward to hosting our German sisters from Itzehoe for our 80th in two years time
