She has also registerered for the SIGBI and Centenary Conferences later this year.\u00a0 She was sorry to announce that our planned coffee morning for July has been cancelled due to the extension of Covid restrictions. Happily, dates have been offered instead for next year.\u00a0 However, the Mr Yorke&#8217;s Open Garden event on Sunday is going ahead as planned. We are providing refreshments at this event in aid of <a href=\"https:\/\/just-the-job.org.uk\/\">Just the Job<\/a>, the President&#8217;s charity this year.\u00a0 We have enough donations for two hampers to raffle, enough baking offers, and volunteers to serve on the day.<\/p>\n<p>There was also discussion of reviving the Toilet Twinning project which had to be abandoned last year due to Covid.\u00a0 Now things are returning to more nearly normal, we can plan to restart approaching organisations to take part.\u00a0 Judith Clarke also alerted us to another re-cycling opportunity.\u00a0 Superdrug is taking in used pill strips for recycling &#8211; although the nearest branch participating is in Harrogate.\u00a0 A good excuse for a visit to Betty&#8217;s, perhaps!<\/p>\n<h3>Public Newsletter<\/h3>\n<p>Members Chris Bowran and Wendy Arrowsmith have produced a Newsletter which is available the Richmond library (where our banner is being displayed). We hope this will encourage new members to join us.\u00a0 It was suggested that this be repeated each quarter, and possibly made available in other local libraries in our area.<\/p>\n<h3>Social Opportunities<\/h3>\n<p>Social activities are being planned for later in the year.\u00a0 Some members will be attending a Jazz Dinner at The Station in October, and President Sharon suggested attending a Richmond 950 Open Air Cinema event at Aske Hall Stables in September.\u00a0 We have also been alerted to look out for release of tickets for a talk by our Patron, Baroness Hale, former President of the Supreme Court.\u00a0 She will be appearing at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booksandboots.org\/\">The Georgian Theatre Royal<\/a> as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booksandboots.org\/\">Richmond Walking &amp; Books Festival<\/a> in September.\u00a0 This coincides with the publication of her memoirs.<\/p>\n<h3>Face to Face in July<\/h3>\n<p>We are delighted to be planning a face-to-face meeting in July.\u00a0 \u00a0We have been invited to Colburn Village Hall to hear about the Colburn Food Bank, and a two-course meal will be provided for \u00a310 per head.\u00a0 \u00a0This will be our first get together in person since February last year.\u00a0 \u00a0An occasion to look forward to!\u00a0 \u00a0As our precious meeting location (the Cricket Club) is no longer able to offer us a meal &amp; room option, Jane Priestly, our Social Convener, is investigating other options for us for future meetings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History Talk Once again, we held our June meeting via Zoom.\u00a0 We began with a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[58,52,26,24,57,59,43,60,20],"class_list":["post-4773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news","tag-colburn-food-bank","tag-jonas-centre","tag-just-the-job","tag-richmond-950","tag-richmond-library","tag-richmond-walking-books-festival","tag-sigbi","tag-toilet-twinning","tag-yorkshire-region"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>June Meeting via Zoom | News | Blog | Events | SI Richmond and Dales<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Richmond and Dales : Blog &amp; News : June Meeting via Zoom : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Richmond and Dales .
