After settling them in their hotel a Fish and Chip meal at Bizzie Lizzies, with a welcome by Yorkshire President Jane Glendinning and 5 of our members, made an enjoyable evening.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">On Friday morning we took our 6 sisters to view our celebration plaque marking SI Skipton in Craven&#8217;s Freedom of the District, in the Council Offices. We then travelled to Haworth, for the Parsonage, Church, shops, and lunch in Haworth. Our visitors watch Emmerdale on TV and wanted to see Esholt, where we drank in the Woolpack, much to their delight and more souvenirs were purchased. Unfortunately a fire alarm left us unable to go in to Salts Mill so we journeyed over Baildon Moor and surrounding countryside which they loved.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Saturday evening we served a two course meal in our decorated clubrooms, provided by our members and enjoyed a lovely evening of chatter and presentation of gifts from our visitors. On\u00a0Sunday morning they left for Manchester, more shopping and their flight home.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">We have received an invitation to visit them in Oulu, Finland.<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; You are welcome to visit a club you are thinking of joining, and will&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":789,"featured_media":5228,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-could-you-be-a-soroptimist"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Friendship is Important Too | News | Blog | Events | SI Yorkshire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Yorkshire : Blog &amp; News : Friendship is Important Too : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Yorkshire .
