Soroptimists in Leigh & District Recently welcomed members of SI Mons Borinage (Belgium), their friendship link club, for a weekend visit. 
The event is part of ongoing celebrations for the club’s 70th anniversary year, which will culminate on 17th February 2017.
The weekend began with a ‘get-together’ meal – a chance to renew acquaintances and exchange news.
One highlight was a trip to Quarry Bank Mill, Styal, the National Trust property. A Leigh Soroptimist, who works as a building surveyor at this historic mill, led a personalised tour.
This was followed by afternoon tea in the beautiful Quarry Bank House, once the mill owner’s home.
SI Leigh & District’s President, Avis Freeman said, “I am delighted so many people were able to join in the weekend of celebrations in our club’s special year”.
