Members of SI 
Weston-super-Mare were thrilled when their project “Skirting Science ” was awarded a Best Practice Award at the 19th International Convention of Soroptimist International. This took place in July at the Palais de Congres in Montreal. 1200 Soroptimists from all over the world heard Skirting Science, now in its third year, declared the Best of the Best and 3 members of the Club were there to receive the applause. Ruth Thomas, Chairman of the Skirting Science committee, said “This was totally unexpected. I am delighted, as encouraging girls into science is important and the whole club has been involved in putting on this event.”
Skirting Science has been highlighted in the new Global Impact Report as an example of how a project should be organised. It fits the new Long Term Project theme “Education and Leadership”. Weston Soroptimists plan to continue holding the one-day event annually.
