After the normal business had been concluded, we had two excellent speakers.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Arthur of Wessex Water also volunteers for WaterAid, a charity founded in 1981 by leaders of the water industry. Steve told us about some of the work WaterAid is doing in Burkino Faso and Ethiopia. He also highlighted how WaterAid\u2019s values and aims mirror those of soroptimism, particularly their recent campaign \u2018To Be A Girl\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Sue Biggs, SIGBI Programme Director, gave an update on the Federation\u2019s plans to build for the future, focussing on increasing membership and offering new\u00a0forms of membership. She outlined the Marketing &amp; Communications plan as well as the Growth Plan for clubs, and finally invited applications for the new SIGBI 3-year project; three short-listed applications will be presented at the Glasgow conference in November.<\/p>\n<p>The raffle offered splendid prizes, including a large basket of fruit, a designer watch and a beautiful orchid; unsurprisingly it was well supported, and raised \u00a3266 for WaterAid. Our club stall selling Easter-themed goodies did a brisk trade, and we raised a further \u00a3144.50 for our club\u2019s charity, PlanUK\u2019s <em>Because I Am A Girl

Christopher; Rotary International Past District Governor, David Robinson; MAR Vice-President Algar Gordema-Braid; visitors from other MAR clubs, potential club members and many \u2018soroptomisters\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>After a delicious meal, our speaker, Pam Miller, treated us to a miscellany of monologues and anecdotes, many originating from Pam Ayres.<\/p>\n<h2><span

and Thursday, 9 October. \u00a0Three delicious courses were served, and before leaving each guest left a donation reflecting their enjoyment of their lunch and the good company and conversation. \u00a0Over \u00a3100 was donated, and this will be shared between the Benevolent Fund and the club&#8217;s charity, Plan UK&#8217;s <em>&#8216;Because I Am A Girl&#8217;<\/em>
