\"New<\/a>Regional President Margaret Baker welcomed 33 new Soroptimists to the 2015 celebration lunch.<\/p>\n

Held every two years, this event focuses on the Region\u2019s recently-joined members and also showcases clubs\u2019 achievements.<\/p>\n

A fun quiz on all things \u2018Soroptimist\u2019 soon got everyone talking. In addition, each table number included a description of one of many famous \u2018Margarets\u2019, for everyone to try and identify. The reason? There seems to be a surfeit of regional (and other) officers with the name ‘Margaret’ at the moment.<\/p>\n

One of these – Federation President Elect, Margaret Emsley – was inspiring and encouraging when she spoke with candour and humour about her own journey from being a ‘new member’ to the impressive role that she is about to take up within our organisation.<\/p>\n

Regional Programme Action Officer (and Vice President) Margaret Molyneux, read the citation for SI St Helens’ project, before presenting them with the 2015 Programme Action award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Rosebowl<\/a>The crystal rose bowl trophy was awarded to SI Bury for their photograph epitomising Regional President Margaret’s challenge<\/a> to ‘Get out of Your Club’.<\/p>\n

When it came to the regional bowls awards, SI Crosby swept the board. The Club triumphed in this season\u2019s team competition; and Joan Spencer (a new member) won the ‘Tricia Fahey’ cup in the individual competition on finals day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pat Williams, Regional Membership Officer, said \u201cThe event was held at the Statham Lodge Hotel, Lymm –\u00a0a welcoming venue in stunning surroundings. This was a relaxed and happy South Lancashire occasion. I hope all the new members now feel they are truly part of a pro-active region within Soroptimist International.\u201d<\/p>\n
