Our club received many messages of support both from this country and from round the world, sending sympathy to the victims and to the people of Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>Members wanted to do something in memory of the victims and, after much discussion, we decided it would be appropriate to help a girl who wanted a career in performing arts. Pendleton College, a sixth form college well known for teaching performing arts, was approached and it was decided that the award of \u00a3250 would go to a girl, chosen by the college, who would benefit from a\u00a0 monetary award to help with her audition costs. We have committed to five years but hope to extend it.<\/p>\n<p>President Rose and President Elect Barbara were delighted to present the first award to Kira McPherson. Kira is a dancer and has already auditioned for several dancing colleges, including the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Kira&#8217;s class performed a short piece and Rose and Barbara have been invited back to future events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><em>Rose Marginson<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Manchester Arena terrorist attack last year was both horrific and shocking.
