Literacy Award at St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School

Soroptimist International of Brixham President Gill Franklin and club members, Anne Stokes and Chrissie Sanders attended St. Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School in Brixham on Friday July 11th. Year 4 pupils had taken part in the Brixham Soroptimist Literacy Award.

The children had attended a workshop with a local author and had been challenged to create a story entitled “The Tunnel” involving action and speech, the children having been working on the use of speech marks in class.
The winner was awarded a trophy and an Amazon gift card. All of the children were awarded a certificate, two of which were Highly Commended.

In early August, members of S I Brixham visited the beautiful garden “Middle Well” in the village of Stokes Gabriel.

 Neil and Pamela Millard made us very welcome and they laid on tea and cake which was delicious.

We all admired the garden and £174.00 was raised which will go to the Brixham Medical & Humanitarian AidConvoy to Ukraine

A few members of S I Brixham met at Presidents Jane’s home to try their hand at block printing.

After a lesson by our experts Anne and Jane we set about creating our own material squares.

When complete the squares will be joined together to make a fleece lined throw which will then be raffled to raise funds for one of our charities.

It was a very enjoyable morning and we had a lot of fun and laughter.

Soroptimist International of Brixham held their Interclub evening at Brixham Rugby Club and were joined by members from S I Torquay and S I Plymouth.

A delicious buffet was prepared by club members and was followed by a most interesting talk by Duncan Kenny on his seal project.

During the evening, Presidents Jane and Gill were delighted to present a certificate to club member Ann Wallace who has completed 50 years of Soroptimist membership.

Ann has been President, Treasurer and Secretary many times and is a font of knowledge on the history of the Brixham Club.

We all congratulated her and wished er well.
