Welcome to SI Newbury & District

Welcome to Soroptimist International Newbury and District, part of a world wide organisation for women. We meet on the 1st Thursday of each month, with the exception of August.  Following speaker meetings, a short business meeting will be held.

During August we organise a summer lunch at the home of one of our members to which we also invite our husbands/ partners.

Newbury and District was chartered in June 1956. At present we have 17 members from a variety of professions as well as voluntary and other organisations. We are active in the community and enjoy meeting together for fellowship and fun.

Each year our president nominates a charity for which we raise funds by organising various events. 

One of our biggest fundraising events is the annual pancake race held in Newbury Market Place on Shrove Tuesday.
