For our September meeting, the committee thought it would be good if we invited a few inspiration (but also very useful) women to the Sotonettes to help us conquer life’s more tricky problems!
We were very lucky to have Katie (one of our committee members but also an experienced emergency medicine doctor), Ange (a former mechanic and now tutor at Fareham college) and Emma (a female plumber now running her own business) join us for our monthly meeting. Each of them gave us some great demos and explanations on how to deal with the most common problems encountered in their respective fields and also answered any questions we had. Hopefully you can see some of the things they showed us in the photos below.
