As May is Membership Month we decided to arrange an event. Thanks to the Pankhurst Trust we were able to have a fairly informal evening at the Pankhurst Centre on 24th May. The event was posted on Facebook and members were asked to spread the word amongst friends and acquaintances.
Four people came to hear more about us from seven of our members, including Liz and Sue – two of our newest members – who were free that evening. President Barbara and I explained about the organisation and the work we do and then everyone had a chance to chat. It was a very enjoyable evening and our four guests hope to attend other events.
Thank you to all who attended and to Gail for use of the venue. It is always a pleasure to spread the word about S I Manchester.
