Members of the club got together with 1200 other Soroptimists to participate in the annual Federation Conference from 26h to 28th October.
There were many inspiring speakers including Mandy Hickson one of the very few female fighter pilots and Dame Katherine Grainger the most decorated female Olympian. These two women admirably related to the conference theme of ‘Step Up and Lead the Way’. There were sessions on Violence against Women and Modern Slavery and Trafficking – areas where many clubs are working. In the final session Past President Ann Hodgson handed over to Federation President Sue Biggs who invited all members to Liverpool to celebrate the 84th Conference in October 2018.
