Have you ever tried the ancient art of ‘sabrage’? Fifteen Soroptimists from SI Southport, and friends, tried this out on a recent club trip to Reims, in France.
‘Sabrage’ means decapitating a bottle of champagne with a sabre. The group ‘sabraged’ about 25 bottles of champagne. In true Soroptimist style not a lot was wasted, everyone making best use of the residual champagne to partner a splendid meal.
The four-day tour encompassed three champagne houses, as well as the main sites in the town.
Club member Beata Kowalska, who organised the whole event, said, “Our occasional club trips abroad are always good fun, and this one was no exception. We’re also very proud of our new skill. It’s not something we’ll be doing on a regular basis at our club meetings, though!”
