On Tuesday, December 13th, we met at Twin Farms, for our Christmas lunch. It was wonderful to get together again and to catch up in person. The meal was deftly arranged by Christine Lumsdon. The food was delicious as can be seen from the photographs. Our member, Patricia, brought one of the angels, which she and friends from Morpeth, St. George’s URC, knitted. One of each was  included in the Christmas bags which we donated to the Joseph Cowen Healthcare Centre.  The angels will be distributed around Morpeth, on trees and bushes, during Christmas week. So if you happen to be in Morpeth (Northumberland) look out for them.

Tuesday, August 9th, saw thirteen hungry Soroptimists meet at Trenchers Restaurant in Spanish City, Whitley Bay, for a delicious ‘al fresco’  fish and chip supper. We were joined by Shirley, from S.I. Tynemouth and Whitley Bay, on on a beautiful, balmy August evening. We all enjoyed the warm and friendly conversation. Catherine updated us on her latest knitting, embroidery and crocheting projects, while Doreen shared her photographs of the work of Dale Chihuly, which she was fortunate to see on her recent American trip. We are all looking forward to our next social event; an afternoon tea at the home of one of our members, Christine.

Club members had a lovely lunch at Bradley Gardens and Joint Presidents Christine and Margaret took the opportunity of being face to face to share the Chains of Office!

  Fascinating evening in the company of SI Glasgow City, SI Norwich, SI Antwerp, SI Calgary and SI Bangor; learning about all the projects we have been working on to celebrate 💯 years of Soroptimists. Plenty of food for thought! Brilliant idea for friendship event SI Glasgow City 👏🏻@soroptimists @Soroptimit_inti_bangkok #sigbi #soroptimist #soroptimistinternational #femaleempowerment #femaleleadership #askmewhyiamasoroptimist Soroptimist Antwerpen Anthos 22 m
