50th Anniversary Celebrations
Dear Friends
As President of Soroptimist International of Epsom and District, I am delighted to be able to invite you to share in our 50th Anniversary celebrations.
Since the club was chartered in 1959, there have been many fine examples of how our members have made a difference to the lives of women and children locally and overseas.
We have set up innovative projects, lobbied local and central governments and raised many thousands of pounds to support worthwhile causes.
We have also enjoyed a rich and varied social programme, made wonderful friends and enjoyed ourselves into the bargain!
I know that I speak for SI Epsom and District Club Members when I say that welcoming old and new friends from home or overseas at any of our 50th Anniversary events will make this coming year’s celebrations even more meaningful.
I sincerely hope that you will be able to join us at some time during the coming twelve months.
Yours in friendship
Sally

‘Women and Their Art’ - Art Exhibition 22nd - 27th March 2010
10.00 - 4.00 daily at Bourne Hall, Spring Street, Ewell KT17 1UF
‘Women and Their Art’ will be a celebration of women’s creativity. The exhibition will raise funds for our Educational Support Fund for Young Carers and East Surrey Domestic Abuse Service. We hope that many different visual arts will be represented. The venue is extremely popular with local artists and visitors alike. Bourne Hall has recently been refurbished with excellent wall space for up to 100 pictures. Comfortable seating and excellent access, plus being able to enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or a snack whilst admiring the art on display, has made it a favourite meeting place for many.
There will be a charge of £10.00 for the 1st exhibit, £7.50 for the next and £5.00 for any others. However, no commission will be deducted from any items sold.
The following notes cover other practicalities of the event:
Artwork should be delivered during the week beginning March 8th to enable cataloguing to take place. Our team will be hanging and displaying the artwork at Bourne Hall from 9.00am on Monday March 22nd. If you wish to help, please let us know.
Pictures must be ready to hang and artwork mounted so that they it can be easily shown. Please contact us about requirements for showing other items such as pottery and sculpture.
Labels for you to stick on the back of your artwork will be sent on receipt of your cheque. They will ensure that items and artists are not confused. Please print your name, the title of the artwork, the medium used and the price. If the artwork is not for sale, please make this very clear.
ALL ARTWORK MUST BE COLLECTED FROM BOURNE HALL AFTER 2.30pm ON SATURDAY MARCH 27TH AND NO LATER THAN 3.30pm. Money collected from the sale of artwork should also be collected at this time, unless other arrangements have been made. (We will suggest that sold items are collected by the purchaser at this time as well. If they are unable to do so, they will of course take them at the time of the sale.)
Every effort will be made to ensure that artwork is kept safe and stewards will be on duty most of the time. But items are exhibited at their owners risk and SI Epsom & District can take no responsibility for damage or loss that is outside their control. Please insure items separately if you have any worries about their safety.
If you would like to participate, please contact us through this website and we will send you the necessary forms and any other information that you might need. We look forward to hearing from you!
