IWD2017 in Southampton: a huge success!

Margaret Ross reporting on IWD in Southampton and joint BCSWomen events:<br /> The colour of our leaflet was Green White and Violet, for Give Women Voices, based on the original of Give Women Votes, for our International Womens Day 2017 at Southampton. We also had joint BCSWomen events on the evenings of 8 and 13 March, the latter attracted Radio Solent who attended, but much, much , much lower numbers than on the Saturday 11 March at WestQuat. </p> <p>I have just been told that WestQuay shopping mall in Southampton estimated over 500 at any time and over 2,500 overall, and it was the largest community event ever at West Quay.<br /> Please do look at the blogg of <strong>Dr Katrina Morgan</strong> <a href=”https://www.flickr.com/photos/148358351@N05/sets/72157679680854961″ target=”_blank”><strong>https://katrinamorgan.wordpress.com/2017/03/28/southamptons-largest-international-womens-day-celebration-in-decades/</strong></a><br /> and the photos taken by students from Southampton Solent University.<br /> <a href=”https://www.flickr.com/photos/148358351@N05/sets/72157679680854961″ target=”_blank”><strong>https://www.flickr.com/photos/148358351@N05/sets/72157679680854961</strong></a><br /> to get a feel of our event on Saturday 11 March – I think these are great and would like to share them with you!</p> <p>I was told that there were clips on the local TV and various local radio stations – but apart from various interviews being recorded and filmed during the day, I was too tired to even switch on the radio or TV that night.</p> <p>I think this is a wonderful record of an inspiring International Womens Day 2017 at Southampton – now to make IWD 2018 even better !!</p> <!-- AddThis Advanced Settings above via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings below via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons above via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons below via filter on the_content --><div class="at-below-post addthis_tool" data-url="https://bcswomen.bcs.org/iwd2017-in-southampton-a-huge-success/"></div><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><div class="mh-social-bottom"> <div class="mh-share-buttons mh-row clearfix"> <a class="mh-col-1-4 mh-facebook" href="#" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://bcswomen.bcs.org/iwd2017-in-southampton-a-huge-success/&t=IWD2017 in Southampton: a huge success!', 'facebookShare', 'width=626,height=436'); return false;" title="Share on Facebook"> <span class="mh-share-button"><i class="fa fa-facebook fa-2x"></i></span> </a> <a class="mh-col-1-4 mh-twitter" href="#" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/share?text=IWD2017 in Southampton: a huge success! -&url=https://bcswomen.bcs.org/iwd2017-in-southampton-a-huge-success/', 'twitterShare', 'width=626,height=436'); return false;" title="Tweet This Post"> <span class="mh-share-button"><i class="fa fa-twitter fa-2x"></i></span> </a> <a class="mh-col-1-4 mh-pinterest" href="#" onclick="window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://bcswomen.bcs.org/iwd2017-in-southampton-a-huge-success/&media=https://bcswomen.bcs.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/33394416392_1aea3a400d_z.jpg&description=IWD2017 in Southampton: a huge success!', 'pinterestShare', 'width=750,height=350'); return false;" title="Pin This Post"> <span class="mh-share-button"><i class="fa fa-pinterest fa-2x"></i></span> </a> <a class="mh-col-1-4 mh-googleplus" href="#" onclick="window.open('https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/confirm?hl=en-US&url=https://bcswomen.bcs.org/iwd2017-in-southampton-a-huge-success/', 'googleShare', 'width=626,height=436'); return false;" title="Share on Google+" target="_blank"> <span class="mh-share-button"><i class="fa fa-google-plus fa-2x"></i></span> </a> </div></div> </div> </article><nav class="mh-post-nav-wrap clearfix" role="navigation"> <div class="mh-post-nav-prev mh-post-nav"> <a href="https://bcswomen.bcs.org/professor-maja-mataric-to-give-the-2017-karen-sparck-jones-lecture/" rel="prev">Previous article</a></div> <div class="mh-post-nav-next mh-post-nav"> <a href="https://bcswomen.bcs.org/the-bcswomen-committee-welcomes-two-new-members/" rel="next">Next article</a></div> </nav> <h4 id="mh-comments" class="mh-section-title mh-comment-form-title">Be the first to comment</h4> <div id="respond" class="comment-respond"> <h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">Leave a Reply <small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/iwd2017-in-southampton-a-huge-success/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel reply</a></small></h3> <form action="https://bcswomen.bcs.org/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform" class="comment-form" novalidate> <p class="comment-notes">Your email address will not be published.</p><p class="comment-form-comment"><label for="comment">Comment</label><br/><textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="5" aria-required="true">
