What a wonderful weekend we had on 14-15th October. It started out with the Premier of our specially commission film about the history of the Club over the last 90 yrs. \u00a0This took place while we ate afternoon tea at the Crown Hotel in Harrogate. Soroptimist International President Maureen Maguire and Soroptimist International President of \u00a0Great Britain and Ireland Cathy Cottridge honoured us with their presence. Also, Members from our friendship links from Arlon in Belgium and Milford Haven in Wales. \u00a0We then rocked the night away to the music of Last Orders at the Masonic Hall in Harrogate. And, finally we celebrated our Charter Lunch on Sunday with over 100 guests on in the presence of the Lord Lieutenant \u00a0of North Yorkshire. A very memorable weekend.<\/p>\n

Premier of Film and Book to Celebrate 90th Charter Anniversary<\/h3>\n

The Crown Hotel in Harrogate provided the perfect setting for our specially commissioned Film and its accompanying book. \u00a0It is the place we meet and also the place that hosted many events over the last 90 years. The film, produced by Dave Thorp helped by Club member, Christine Anderson, showcased what we have achieved over the years. \u00a0Our researchers, Nicola, Rachel, Dorothy and Judith spent many hours mulling over the Club archives. This provided the information for each decade recounted by one of our members. From the founding of the Club in the 30’s depression to today – when some things don’t change and food and energy are still in want. The film, in decade chunks, will be available on YouTube.<\/p>\n
