The 100th anniversary of the celebration of International Women’s Day was certainly a special occasion.
Jackie Paling, Programme Action Officer of SI Slough, Windsor & Maidenhead, made sure that it was a day to be remembered.
She worked with two other SI clubs – Thames Valley and High Wycombe – to organise a meeting of various women’s organisations in the area including Inner Wheel, Towns Women’s Guild and Womens Institute amongst others.
They met for tea at the York Centre in Maidenhead on Sunday 6th March and heard speakers from the Girl Guides and had a talk entitled ‘Granny flew Spitfires’. Of course such a special anniversary requires a cake and Jackie provided that too.
