AGM 2024 - Review of Work for the past year

Our AGM was as always, a wonderful event, and this year we also managed our customary meal beforehand. We took this opportunity to hold the welcoming/induction ceremonies for some of our new members which had have joined over the last 12 months. It’s always thrilling to formally welcome new members, hear a bit about them and then to light a candle of friendship for them.
We had all the usual official AGM requirements, hearing reports from the clubs’ officials and voting in our new leadership team for the coming year and of course, President Gail. The detailed report from our Programme Action Officers Jackie and Gail made for impressive reading - and if you want to see for yourself exactly how much we have achieved this year then the full Programme Action report is here.

Discussions took place around our charity for the new club year and the final choice was PIES - Partners in Education Swaziland.
Finally, we held our candle ceremony, which is a lovely tradition of the club, highlighting the work the officials do on behalf of the members and bringing the members together to acknowledge the hard work we do in the club and the organisation as a whole.

WOW Women

Welcome to International Women’s Day, March 8 2022. The United Nation's theme for this year's observance is “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow” in recognition and celebration of women and girls’ leadership and contribution towards a sustainable future.

As our contribution to marking out this significant day, we are highlighting the talents and achievements of some of our very own women and girls as part of our WOW women initiative. Our aim is to profile the varied career paths of local women and to inspire young girls to think differently about future work and career opportunities.

We’ve brought together a collection of profiles that exemplify the creativity, determination and diversity of our ‘homegrown’ talent! Just click on the video to see what we mean.
