Date of 2021 Lunch is 20 Aug 21 Happy New Year! This year’s lunch has been postponed from April until 20th August 2021. After much consideration we decided that our regular lunch in April was not feasible and although it’s difficult to know how 2021 will pan out we’re hoping that by Aug we can […]

It is with regret that the committee has agreed to postpone the 63rd Women of Scotland Lunch which was to be held on 24th April due to Coronavirus concerns. It is our intention to hold the lunch on 23rd April 2021 – please put that date in your diary. We will be supporting the same worthwhile charity, Bowel Cancer UK, with the usual excellent line up of speakers and our superb prize draw. Regrettably Bowel Cancer UK will lose out this year however if you would like to make a donation our Just Giving page will remain open. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/women-of-scotland-lunch-2020
We are so grateful to Joseph Bonnar for once again kindly giving us the top prize in our prize draw – a pair of rose gold hoop earrings set with one carat of brilliant cut diamonds. They are simply stunning! You can get a ticket for the prize draw, even if you can’t make the lunch.
So pleased to announce that this year’s charity is Bowel Cancer UK in Scotland. All funds raised from the 2020 Women of Scotland Lunch will directly fund Bowel Cancer UK’s ‘Improving Surgery, Saving Lives Appeal’. This appeal will establish Scotland’s first-ever Colorectal Cancer Surgical Research Chair in partnership with the world-renowned Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd).
We were delighted to hand over a cheque for £25,000 to Mental Health Foundation Scotland, as raised at our lunch in April. Here our Chair Laura Lambie (centre), with the 2019 Chair Ann Garvie, hands the cheque to Michael Wilson, Chief Exec of MHF Scotland. Thanks to all those who came to the lunch and donated so generously on the day and before and after the lunch.
Congratulations to Anna Brown who won the Investec hamper. The footsie closed at 7440.6 on Mon 29th April and she guessed 7442 so was the closest.
