Proud members of Soroptimist International Leigh and District celebrated 70 years of service to the day with a special charter dinner at Haydock Golf Club.

More than 110 guests, including local MP Andy Burnham, enjoyed a four course meal, entertainment from the Golborne Band and speech from guest speaker, Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, Warren Smith.

Members were thrilled to be joined by former members of the club who were able to recall memorable events undertaken by the SI in past years.
