On the festival field the Soroptimists had a chocolate and sweetie tombola stall to raise money for their chosen charities, which are, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Domestic Abuse, Nightsafe and The Pahar Trust, Napol (building schools for mountain villages). Some Soroptimist members acted as marshalls for the parade while four brave members, Joyce Hargreaves, Pam Russo, Wyn Tagg and Dorothy Casey dressed as Suffragettes\u2019 and walked in the parade amidst a sea of poppies.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Mary Pollard<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rishton and Great Harwood Soroptimists took part in the annual Rishton Festival and parade on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":616,"featured_media":4078,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events-2018","category-ourblog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rishton and Great Harwood on parade! | News | Blog | Events | SI North West England and the Isle of Man<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI North West England and the Isle of Man : Blog &amp; News : Rishton and Great Harwood on parade! : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI North West England and the Isle of Man .
