Winchester & District members are supporting SI Poole’s project to knit baby hats for Nepal and have found an ingenious way to save postage through Soroptimist networks. Dr Rosa Matheson, who lives in Swindon and is involved in charity work projects in Nepal, offered to take 1 kg of babywear in her luggage on her next trip at the end of October. These are being delivered to her, relay-fashion, Winchester to Salisbury to Swindon, involving all three clubs. Valerie from Swindon and Wendy from Winchester are shown at the handover, holding the two vacuum-packed bags of 12 newborn baby hats and several jumper and hat sets for older babies that have been donated by knitters at a local sheltered housing complex. The handover was an occasion for a tasty lunch at Liz’s workplace, the Salisbury Art Centre.
