As the nights start to draw in and walking home from work is now more likely to be in the twilight or dark, we scheduled our September Meeting No Danger, No Danger, Low Voltage to help our Roses pick up some handy hints and tips to stay safe!
Marc Holmes from West Yorkshire Police had our Roses shouting, looking fierce and walking with purpose! It's not uncommon for us to be lively and chatty (not that we are a rowdy bunch!), but even some of our newer and quieter members were helped to find their loud inner voices.
Mark encouraged us to think about our personal safety, to be more aware of our surroundings and to build our confidence in unsafe situations.
Lots of our fab ladies jumped in with both feet and gave Bob (not a real man) a good smack in the face or shouted at poor Mark, to 'Get Back', we even scared ourselves at points. (Maybe a good stress relief after a busy day at work?)
It was great to see women gaining confidence to own the streets and being aware of their surroundings - go Roses!
