At least 50 women from Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead met on Sunday to celebrate International Women’s Day, at the Spencer Denney Centre in Windsor at an event organised by Soroptimist International of Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead. Club President Judy Nixon welcomed members from local Women’s Institutes, Inner Wheels, Townswomen’s Guilds and the Red Hat Society, who were given a presentation by Becky Spinner, Training Manager from East Berkshire Women’s Aid. Becky spoke about domestic violence and the work of Women’s Refuges. Afterwards, everyone joined for delicious refreshments and to do a spot of networking. Attendees also donated clothing, cleaning materials and cash for the Refuges. Organiser Jackie Paling says “The event was very successful and we are definitely considering holding a similar event next year.”
