Since the lockdown, SI Southport members have been keeping in touch using the wonders of Zoom. In \u2018real life\u2019, our club meets twice monthly so we decided to retain this structure and have one meeting as a Club Meeting, where we discuss SI activities, and the second as a more social event.<\/p>\n

President Rosemary Moore suggested the theme of \u2018Fun with Hats\u2019 for the May social meeting. Members were asked to wear a hat that had some significance and to tell the tale of the hat.<\/p>\n

As the photo shows, there was a great response.<\/p>\n

Ann Bryan<\/strong> (top row on the left) \u2013 the picture is bit dark as Ann was sitting outside in the sun!) told us about her hat \u2013 she said she has difficulty finding a hat that fits, until she found the modest sunhat she is wearing. She bought in La Gomera and has worn it on every holiday abroad for the last 10 years.<\/p>\n

Carol Hill<\/strong> (4th<\/sup> row, second from left) said her hat came from Wimbledon. She and husband Anthony attended the tournament on \u2018Manic Monday\u2019 watching Andy Murray and several other players. On the same trip, Carol was run over by a shopping trolley \u2013 the \u2018driver\u2019 was a very apologetic Lynda Baron (the actress who played Gladys Emmanuel in \u2018Open all Hours\u2019)..<\/p>\n

Dot Massey<\/strong> (2nd<\/sup> row, on the right) wore her steward\u2019s trilby from the 75th SIGBI Conference in Harrogate, where she helped the flag bearers manoeuvre their flags into the auditorium. Dot\u2019s team leader was Joan Spiby and all stewards wore dark blue suits and a trilby.<\/p>\n

Carol Cookson<\/strong> (2nd<\/sup> row, second from right) donned the hat she bought in Virginia. It proved useful when she was were on her way down the Appalachian Trail and was confronted by a bear and 3 cubs, Instead of following advice to climb into the nearest tree, she threw her hat at them and then run screaming back up the trail!!<\/p>\n

Ghislaine Fletcher <\/strong>(top row, 2nd<\/sup> from left) wore a hat from London 2012, when she was a London Ambassador at Victoria Park during the 2012 Olympic Games. She had a visit from her boss \u2013 Boris Johnson, who was Mayor of London at the time. That was the day Boris got caught up on the zip-wire at Victoria Park \u2013 and the now-famous photo was taken!<\/p>\n

President Rosemary<\/strong> (4th<\/sup> row, third from left) said her hat dates back to the early 1960s, when the Beatles were playing at the Odeon in Southport. While she and a friend were waiting at the stage door, the Beatles arrived in a transit van and John Lennon jumped out straight onto Rosemary\u2019s foot, leaving a shoe imprint on her white socks. Her friend says to this day she should never have washed those socks!<\/p>\n

There were several other fun stories \u2013 and we learned not only about the hats, but also quite a lot about our SI friends!.<\/p>\n
