We recently held our 46th Charter Lunch at Baldwin’s Omega Restaurant. The event was attended by 45 members and guests, including Chris Clark – SI Yorkshire President, our guest speaker Margaret Clarke and members of our friendship link SI Sutton Coldfield, members of other clubs and a representative of Young Women’s Housing Project – our President’s charity Margaret Clarke is Assistant Programme Director Advocacy SIGBI and gave us a very informative talk about her role.

At our recent social evening, members made door wreaths, guided by Sue Smith. We are sure that you will agree the end results are fantastic and will provide a welcome for any guest during the Christmas celebrations.

One of our members, Grace Woods, recently organised a Gin Tasting Evening in aid of our President’s Charity, the Young Women’s Housing Project. We invited our local Rotary Club to join us for the evening. Led by an expert, we tasted four different craft gins paired with two different tonics. The composition of each gin and the history of the distillery was explained to us prior to tasting. The evening raised £480.80 for the charity. What a wonderful way to have fun and raise money for a good cause at the same time. The photo shows President Angela, Immediate Past Yorkshire President Jennie, Grace & Sue enjoying the evening.    

SI Hallamshire recently held their Annual Fashion Show. The clothes were supplied by London Connections, Rotherham and modelled by members of the Club. After the show there was an opportunity for guests  to purchase outfits and accessories. The evening raised £87.95 for the President’s Charity, The Young Women’s Housing Project..

Members of SI Hallamshire met recently to pack Welcome bags for the Young Women’s Housing Project. Toiletries were packed in colourful drawstring bags and presented to a representative of the charity. Members had also donated items for Starter packs which were given to the charity
