November 2025 – Halloween – Friendship – Street Angels – Remembrance

Published on: Published in: What we've been up to recently

Remembrance Day

 

President Jennie laid our wreath a the Cenotaph during the Remembrance Day ceremony.  Remembering especially this year the women who  worked in the Auxiliary Territorial Service and on the Home Front during World War II.

Halloween and Bonfire Night

The scariness of Halloween at the very end of October…and then November always starts with a bang : fireworks around Bonfire Night.  We were pleased to talk to the ladies at Shifa in Woking about the origins and history of both these events.  And we didn’t forget to offer the seasonal treats of parkin and soul cakes.

Friendship

 

Friendship is a very important part of the Soroptimist movement.  Some of our members had a great day with the Soroptimists of Sherborne and Yeovil  in late October.  We look forward to welcoming them to Woking early in 2026.  Long may the friendship continue!
