She was on home ground, having lived in Richmond since the late 1970s and had travelled up from a busy day in Parliament to join us in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Very soon after arriving in North Yorkshire Lady Harris began her long political career when she was elected as a Richmond Town Councillor and a member of Richmondshire District Council during which time she\u00a0served as Mayor of Richmond and Chairman of the District Council. In 1981 she was elected to the North Yorkshire County Council and in 1991\/92 became the first woman to chair the authority. From 1982-98 she was a Justice of the Peace and, from 1994-2001, Chairman of the North Yorkshire Police Authority. Appointment as Deputy Lieutenant of North Yorkshire was followed in 1994 by appointment to the Court of the University of York. Created a Liberal Democrat Life Peer in 1999 Lady Harris is a Deputy Speaker in the House of Lords.<\/p>\n<p>It was a most enjoyable evening and was an opportunity for several Richmond &amp; Dales members, who had known Lady Harris from the early part of her political career, to discuss old times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday 24 September 2013<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A VERY UNUSUAL EVENT IN CATTERICK GARRISON<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1438&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The presentation of awards to winners of the Richmond and Dales Soroptimist\u2019s well-advertised Writing Competition really was an unusual and highly successful event!<\/p>\n<p>The Garrison\u2019s Wavell Primary School Choir opened the evening with two of the school\u2019s favourite songs. The second of these,\u00a0<em>We\u2019ll Meet Again<\/em>, was very moving and had been written by children at the school. It told of their feelings, hopes and concerns when parents were away from home and overseas for lengthy periods; it had been set to music by Wendy Arrowsmith.<\/p>\n<p>The special guests for the evening were two very well known authors and speakers, Gervaise Phinn and Ann Fine. To the delight of the packed audience, winners in the various groups: Adult; Juniors 11 -18yrs; Juniors, 7-10yrs and a special Soroptimist Award category, received their prizes from Gervaise Phinn who captivated everyone with his humorous anecdotes. Anne Fine, a previous Children\u2019s Laureate, gave a personal account of\u00a0the ups and downs of writing with vivid examples that were stimulating and encouraging to everyone of all ages.<\/p>\n<p>Both Gervaise and Anne spent time at the end of the evening signing books and talking to the excited children, their families and teachers. A compendium of the stories and poems written by the prize winners had been printed locally and was on sale.<\/p>\n<p>Club President, Elaine Walton was brought up in an army family and spent part of her childhood at Catterick. Because of that experience, the wives and children of service families based at Catterick Garrison have been the focus of several of the Club\u2019s events this year.<\/p>\n<p>Particular thanks are due to the Catterick Library staff for their generosity in making the library available and for their help at and after the event.

The King\u2019s Head Ballroom was filled to capacity to hear Baroness Hale of Richmond give members and their friends an insight into the work of the most senior Court in the United Kingdom. It was an enthralling evening,<\/p>\n<p>Lady Hale lived and was brought up in Richmond, educated at Richmond\u2019s High School for Girls and at Girton College, Cambridge where she read Law. In 2004, she was created a life peer as Baroness Hale of Richmond, of Easby in the County of North Yorkshire, \u00a0a member of the Privy Council and\u00a0was appointed as a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, the only woman to\u00a0have been so appointed. Lady Hale is the most senior female judge in the history of the United Kingdom and in June 2013 was the first and only woman appointed to hold the office of Deputy President of the Supreme Court. Distinguished in many fields, Lady Hale lectured in Law at the University of Manchester while working as a part-time barrister. She was the first woman and youngest person to be appointed to the Law Commission in 1984, was appointed Professor of Law at Manchester in 1986 and was\u00a0made a QC in 1989. She is Chancellor of the University of Bristol and Visitor of Girton College, Cambridge.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court is the final court of appeal for all United Kingdom civil\u00a0 and criminal cases from England, Wales and Northern Ireland, concentrating on cases of the greatest public and constitutional importance.<\/p>\n<p>Cited as the fourth most powerful woman in the UK, Lady Hale explained that power was associated with the position held rather than the person. She gave many examples of the work of the Supreme Court and the issues on which judgements were made in an unassuming way. On the question of the relatively low number of senior women in the judiciary, Lady Hale\u2019s view was one that she has stated in the media,\u00a0<em>i.e.<\/em>\u00a0that merit and diversity are not mutually exclusive criteria and a more diverse bench is a better bench with members of equal merit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>THE 2013 MARY HILLARY AWARD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1279&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Richmond &amp; Dales members were taken completely by surprise when it was announced\u00a0during the regional council meeting at Askham Bryan College\u00a0that the Club had been awarded the Mary Hillary Award for its\u00a0<em>Sharing our Skills<\/em>\u00a0project<\/p>\n<p>The project, now in its second year, works with three, self-selected senior students from Richmond School who, with full support from the school and in partnership with Club members, gain experience in developing their skills in leadership, group work, presentations and volunteering.

The Club is appreciative of the continuing support of the school staff.<\/p>\n<p>The Mary Hillary Award is given to the project that best reflects Soroptimist International\u2019s vision and mission of helping women and children through advocacy, action and awareness.

She had flown in to Newcastle that morning from Belfast having left her home at an unearthly hour!<\/p>\n<p>Rita explained that the Gambia is bisected by a large river which, combined with an undeveloped road network, adds significantly to the difficulties experienced by pregnant women in need of urgent care. She gave a graphic description of the difficulties faced by pregnant women in the Gambia in circumstances where trained staff and facilities for providing emergency care at and after childbirth are virtually non-existent outside the country\u2019s few hospitals. Because women tend to be married while still very young their pelves are undeveloped with consequent high risk to themselves and their babies during and after childbirth. The relatively few local birth attendants have minimal training but with 66,000 births each year, maternal and infant mortality rates are shockingly high although there has been a small reduction in both over the last five years. Birthing units are being developed in a few parts of the country\u2019s interior in renovated buildings rather than building expensive new units.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1240&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]To gain a flavour of the situation in the Gambia, other Clubs could do no better than to hear Rita Allen\u2019s powerful talk and visual presentation.<\/p>\n<p>The photographs show Soroptimists on the\u00a0upper level at\u00a0<em>The Station<\/em>.

As the wind gusted, one or two members showed Olympic-like fitness chasing large, laminated posters that bowled across the cobbles towards the fish and vegetable stalls and the few shoppers hardy enough to be out and about.<\/p>\n<p>Fortified by coffee and hot chocolate and a good deal of humour, we carried on.

Club members called a meeting of local organisations and interested people and a small working group was set up to find a suitable building and to plan for the future. Four years later, in 1978, the Richmondshire Local History Museum was opened by its first Patron, the Marquess of Zetland. It has never looked back and local Soroptimists are still involved in its management and activities!<\/p>\n<p>The original building had an earth floor and had been used as a carpenter\u2019s workshop and store. Since its opening the Museum, which is run almost entirely by volunteers, has been enlarged and is a veritable\u00a0<em>Tardis<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 small on the outside and amazingly spacious within. Its galleries and displays provide the opportunity to explore Richmondshire\u2019s history at first hand from Romans to Railways! Just one minute from the Market Place, the Museum is a treasure not to be missed.<\/p>\n<p>A very special event took place on Saturday 30 March 2013 when the Museum\u2019s new Discovery Centre Gallery was opened by the writer and broadcaster, Gervais Phinn. In recognition of the Museum\u2019s founding by SI-Richmond &amp; Dales, Club President, Sandra Frier was an honoured guest.<\/p>\n<p>The Discovery Centre is an interactive resource based on life in Victorian Richmond in which visitors come face-to-face with characters from an 1870 painting of Richmond Market Place.
