President Judy was able to enjoy one of the final events of her year as president in the idyllic surroundings of Queen’s Eyot – a delightful island in the Thames near Bray. 60 guests enjoyed the sunshine on the lawns of the island admiring the late flowering daffodils prior to sitting down to the delicious three course lunch. Everyone had to be ferried across to the landing stage which made for a very special occasion.
Regional President Julie Blackwell replied to the toast to Soroptimist International which was proposed by Julia White who is the Visitor Manager for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Amanda Bryett responded to the toast to the Guests. She gave a fascinating talk about the forthcoming Olympics with interesting insights into the two previous Olympics held in London in 1908 and 1948. Following the raffle the guests all dispersed back across the Thames.
