Nine Grange-over-Sands Soroptimists joined forces with Barrow Women’s Centre (Women’s Community Matters) on a march through Barrow to mark International Women’s Day. The parade was festive as marchers fell in step to the fabulous, exciting beat of the Boom Dang Drummers*. 
We made our mark too with our banners and our bright blue gilets. As we progressed through the town we were joined by women and girls passing by. The grand finale was at Barrow Centre, where we greeted was fine refreshments and a fantastic singer. We had a great time, but always in the knowledge that in today’s world, banging the drum for women’s rights is as vital as ever it was.
