It’s extremely important to celebrate International Women’s Day to honour and appreciate the different achievements that women have accomplished around the world, including successes in society, economy, politics and culture. It’s also a time to remember those who continue to go unheard and are prevented from reaching their full potential, as basic rights like health and education are still not recognised for some women around the world.  

Our regular coffee mornings provide a relaxed opportunity for a get together and catch up with friends. We meet at Hagley Golf Club; all are welcome. Please contact mary.tooley@talktalk.net if you would like information about the next event.

Love and congratulations to Margaret, one of our longest serving members. Happy 90th Birthday x

Our club had a fantastic weekend recently celebrating the 75th birthday of SI Stourbridge and District. It is an amazing achievement to maintain an active and vibrant club for 75 years, we acknowledged all the women who have gone before us and made our club what it is today, all the great local, national and international projects we have initiated or supported and the lives the club has changed. It really was a recognition of our theme for this year that “We rise by lifting others”. Members enjoyed a Diamond Dinner at Hogley Golf club on Friday 22.7.22 with the incredible magician John Milner keeping us spellbound. 7 members were awarded gifts for over 25 years service, immediate past president Linda celebrated our programme action and vice president Su gave us flavour of the history of the club. On Saturday 23.7.22 we carried on our celebrations

This is the second year that we are working in partnership with Dudley MBC to bring more colour and flowers to the town, improving the environment for us all and at the same time raising the profile of our club and the Soroptimist movement. Here is Su, Penny and Linda filling planters with flowers

The club was left a legacy specifically for all members to have an afternoon tea. Sarah died some months ago now but she was remembered at the tea party when her husband, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter attended the party. Members took part in a tree quiz during the event
