Women inspiring action,

S I Brixham held a book stall on the quay for International Literacy Day .

In spite of the weather being blustery and windy we raised £80.00 which equates to over 240 books being recycled 

On a rather windy August morning 17 ladies braved the elements for a coffee morning at a members beach hut at Broadsands Beach. Tea coffee cheese puffs and cakes were provided and with a raffle we raised £150.00.

Hopefully we will have another before the summer is over.

On a beautiful summers evening SI Brixham held our annual Interclub meeting at the United Reform Church.

We were delighted to be joined by several members from SI Plymouth and SI Torquay.

Following a delicious meal, our speaker for the evening Duncan Kenny gave a most interesting and informative presentation on the various voluntary ecological coastal projects including the Churston Cove exploration including a video, clearly demonstrating the vast amount of sea life just under the surface.

A most enjoyable evening was had by all.

A Wimbledon tea party was held at a members home on a glorious afternoon. Joined by past members, family and friends; sandwiches, cakes, and strawberries were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Everyone was asked to wear something white and the event was a great success and raised an amazing £933 for our charity account.

A huge thank you must go to Jessica and Stuart for hosting this event and to everyone who helped.

Soroptimist International of Brixham recently visited Furzeham Primary School.

Immediate Past Presidents Chrissie Hannaford, Anne Stokes, along with club member Anne Adams, presented this years winner with the trophy and a book token, plus certificates for all those short listed, including two Highly Commended

The house was beautifully decorated and “Posh Nosh” was supplied by members. Suitable cocktails and mocktails were served on arrival and there was a prize for the best crown made from recycled materials. There was a Royal quiz and a Charlie quiz both a lot of fun. A flag waving sing a long of patriotic songs concluded the afternoon.

The Brixham club owe a huge thank you to Myra and Rob for opening their home to host this event.

A memorabilia raffle raised the sum of £586 which has given our new Presidents charities a wonderful start.
