With such busy schedules for members over the Festive period, Medway and Maidstone members decide to have an After Christmas Party on 18 January. Our host was Wanda Wright who opened up her home to 19 members with some partners for a Bring and Share Supper.
There was plenty of time for chatting with old and new members in relaxed surroundings whilst enjoying the selection of delicious food brought by members. We also brought a small, wrapped gift as part of the Secret Santa. So, before the enjoyable evening was over it was time to find out what Santa had for each of us. Then it was time to say farewell and thank you to Wanda and her husband for their excellent hospitality and head home.
Wanda as our Club Social Secretary is always busy looking for ideas for things for members to do and places to go. One suggestion was to go and see the MARS War and Peace exhibition at Rochester Cathedral (11 Feb- 8 March).
Mars: War & Peace is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. Measuring seven metres in diameter, the artwork features detailed NASA imagery. It provides an opportunity to consider the history of human conflict around the world. It is hoped that visitors will feel transported to the inhospitable desert wasteland of Mars, whilst also reflecting on the realities of war for ordinary communities of people on our planet.”
Some members took advantage to pop in to see the exhibition before meeting up with other Soroptimist members for an enjoyable and relaxed lunch at Quills in Rochester.
The next outing being organised by Wanda is to do one of the Quiz Trails in Tenterden in March followed by lunch.
