The spirit of international friendship is flourishing at SI Crosby\u00a0 on Merseyside where members have forged strong bonds with\u00a0 members of Scandinavian\u00a0 clubs. Their most recent meeting was in\u00a0 Glasgow where fifteen Crosby members joined a Scandinavian group for a weekend break to which Glasgow Soroptimists were also invited.<\/p>\n

During the weekend, the group enjoyed visits to the Royal Yacht Britannia, Loch Lomond and places connected with the famous Rennie McIntosh. But most of all they enjoyed socialising and renewing their friendship.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0 began eight years ago when some members of\u00a0 Crosby Club, which this year celebrates its 80th anniversary, made a visit to Norway and met Soroptimists there. Over following years, friendship links where then made with Soroptimists\u00a0 in Denmark and Sweden with groups of Crosby members travelling to Scandinavia where they received warm hospitality from their hosts and learned much about their culture. This cemented their friendship.<\/p>\n

In turn, the Scandinavian Soroptimists then travelled to Crosby for a friendship and cultural visit. The\u00a0 international group have also met up with each other in Bruges.<\/p>\n

Said Crosby President, Mrs Sheila Chatterton: \u201cThis time we decided to meet halfway in Glasgow.\u00a0\u00a0 When we met up with them it was like seeing old friends. We have found that we are all like-minded people on the same wavelength and\u00a0 working towards the same end. We\u00a0 have a great time together and we like to think we are making the world a smaller place. It is good to know we have friends in those countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then it was time for our Friendship Links to come together after two years. Everyone was so happy to see each other! It was like our last gathering was only last week!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
