Anne Holt, former President of Girlguiding (North West England) then looked at the history of Guiding, its present-day programme, and the options for partnership working with Soroptimists.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small\">\u00a0<a href=\"\/south-lancashire\/files\/2012\/05\/Joint-regional-conference-2012-delegates.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-378\" src=\"\/south-lancashire\/files\/2012\/05\/Joint-regional-conference-2012-delegates-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"joint regional conference 2012 delegates\" width=\"219\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/files\/2012\/05\/Joint-regional-conference-2012-delegates-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/south-lancashire\/files\/2012\/05\/Joint-regional-conference-2012-delegates.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">The afternoon was opened by Ben Mott, a dementia care specialist, whose lively and lucid guide to this complex condition kept everyone\u2019s attention. The mood changed as Fiona Murphy, leader of the Bereavement Support Team at the Royal Bolton Hospital, described her work in graphic detail. Finally, Dave Guest \u2013 Chief Reporter, BBC North West \u2013 brought the day to a magnificent conclusion with his anecdotes of a life in television.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">Denise Baldwin, President of South Lancashire Region said, \u201cAfter the months of planning it was good to see everything come together.

There was time, too, to socialise with other Soroptimists, to indulge in\u00a0retail therapy on the various clubs\u2019 stalls, and even to look around and admire this stunning Art Deco building, formerly the airport terminal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">\u201cHaving a one-day conference this year, instead of a full weekend, was an experiment. Our delegates have provided a wealth of feedback about the event: I must thank them all for being so forthright in their opinions and for giving next year\u2019s committee a head start. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\">\u201cUltimately, as far as 2012 goes I can honestly say \u2013 along with my \u2018opposite number\u2019, Jean Priestley (President, N.W.England &amp; Isle of Man Region) \u2013 that we thoroughly enjoyed the conference.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 130 Soroptimists from all over the North West attended the 2012 regional conference.
