In pretty, festive surroundings, 20 Club members gathered, bringing food to share \u2013 all of it delicious \u2013 and drinks ranging from mulled wine to lemonade!<\/p>\n<p>The evening began with the customary lighting of candles to remember our Soroptimist Friendship Link members across the globe. Always a moment of reflection to remember our sisters united in the principles of Soroptimism, wherever they are.<\/p>\n<p>We enjoyed an evening of fun, friendship, conversation and good company, as usual, catching up with each other\u2019s news, talking over the year\u2019s events and thinking about the Centenary year to come. We said au revoir to our member Malgorzata who has moved to Cumbria but we know we will keep in touch. All too soon the evening came to an end.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to our host Fiona and family for their hard work in preparing for \u00a0and making the evening so successful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><em>Hilary Dodd<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2025\/12\/5639721b-622a-450c-8695-bda0f13e7086.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6363\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2025\/12\/5639721b-622a-450c-8695-bda0f13e7086-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2025\/12\/a8168342-4c1a-4b9c-ad12-eea731f22bcc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6361\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2025\/12\/a8168342-4c1a-4b9c-ad12-eea731f22bcc-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2025\/12\/fb747f79-f6b7-4296-bdd9-3398f8d9fbc4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6360\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2025\/12\/fb747f79-f6b7-4296-bdd9-3398f8d9fbc4-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2025\/12\/1b524564-5145-4cd5-a4aa-757df4443501.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6359\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/manchester\/files\/2025\/12\/1b524564-5145-4cd5-a4aa-757df4443501-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Fiona\u2019s home was the venue for our 2025 Christmas party.
