Four club members joined with other women's organisations on Saturday, at the Women In Wales Day at the National Botanic Gardens.
They, with Soroptimist clubs from across South Wales, were exhibiting the work that they do, both locally, and internationally.
The Tenby stands were showing their four present projects of 1. A schools competition on the subject of slavery in all its forms; 2. The lobbying on the issue of pension poverty and fuel poverty; 3. Trafficking of women and girls, a subject that is now being dealt with at the Welsh Assembly, and one that is affecting Pembrokeshire; 4. Their ongoing awareness campaign on the illegal practice of FGM (female genital mutilation).
Members were delighted with the response, and the encouragement they received from the visitors on the day, to continue the important work they were doing.
At their supper meeting the previous week, the members enjoyed a nostalgic hour looking at photographs taken from 1955 when the club was chartered, to the present day.
The albums had been compiled by the late Dr. Olga Ryland, and president Jenny said that the club must continue the practice.
The main item of business for the night was the cream tea, a charity event being held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Graham Hughes, at Fairfield, Northcliffe, Tenby. Tickets were distributed for the event on Sunday, July 12, the cost £5. The tea is open to all and tickets are available from Soroptimist members.
Pictured with the stands are Tenby president Jenny Deverson and project co-ordinators, Wendy Bell and Jan Griffiths.
