About our Club
Welcome to Newbury & District branch of Soroptimist International of Great Britain and Ireland. Our Meeting Venue is the annexe at St George’s Church, Wash Common, which has recently been redecorated.
Newbury and District was chartered in June 1956. At present we have 26 members from a variety of professions and voluntary and other organizations. We are active in the community and enjoy meeting together for fellowship and fun.
We meet on the 1st & 3rd Thursday of the month, except August, at St. George’s Annexe, Wash Common, Newbury, RG14 6NU at 7.30pm. Usually we start with coffee and biscuits followed by a speaker or business meeting, the evening ends about 9.45pm. During August we organize a summer luncheon at the home of one of our members to which we also invite our partners.
Each year our president nominates a charity for which we raise funds by organizing various events such as a coffee mornings and a quiz. This year the chosen charity is Stroke Care for Newbury & West Berkshire.
One of our biggest fundraising events is the annual pancake race held in Newbury Market Place. See Kick FM’s Gallery for pictures of the race and Newbury todays picture gallery
