\"President<\/a>
Region President Margaret Baker with Federation President-Elect Margaret Emsley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Twenty two past regional presidents of SI South Lancashire met for lunch at Statham Lodge, Lymm. The current postholder, Margaret Baker, hosted the event, which was organised by her predecessor, Victoria Smerdon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The after lunch speaker was Margaret Emsley (Region President 1998-99) who is currently the Federation President-Elect, and due to take on the \u2018top job\u2019 at the Federation Conference in Glasgow next month. Charged with presenting something short and sweet, Margaret looked at eminent women from the Region who have\u00a0preceded her in holding\u00a0senior positions within Soroptimist International.<\/span><\/p>\n

The international roll of honour includes Dr Elizabeth Hunt and Miss M F Adams of SI Liverpool, Miss B A Burton (SI Manchester), Celia Evans (SI Southport), Kathleen Collin (SI Warrington) and Anne Brian (SI Stockport). Margaret mentioned with affection the late Patricia Fahey (SI Crosby) and Lynn Dunning (SI Ramsbottom), both of whom influenced her Soroptimist \u2018career\u2019 over the years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Past Federation President Kate Fussell (SI Wigan) was unable to attend the lunch: Margaret regretted that she was therefore prevented from picking up a few extra tips before Glasgow!<\/span><\/p>\n

This annual lunch is a valued and very pleasant regional tradition \u2013 conviviality, conversation and companionship.<\/span><\/p>\n
