Me pictured with Association President Pam, and Chairman District 15 Jennifer

Steve and I spent the day in Aberavon Beach Hotel Port Talbot with the Ladies from District 15 Inner Wheel where the British Association President Pam came for the day as well. A really nice day spent with lovely people who are as passionate about what they do as we are in Rotary.

What is Inner Wheel?

Inner Wheel is a caring organisation, not only to its members, but also to others outside its circle. Friendship is the core of all that is done and achieved by members of Inner Wheel. Wherever there is an Inner Wheel Club, no matter in which country, you are made very welcome. Friendship and fun abounds as members work together to help others less fortunate than themselves, not only in this country, but overseas.

Members find so many different ways to organise events that are fun, to help a chosen charity. Ascot days, sponsored cycle rides, parachute jumps or walks, themed dinners, and silent auctions are but a few.

Inner Wheel was formed in 1923, by a group of ladies who decided that they wanted to help with the work of their Rotarian husbands, but to do it in their own way. It is now a worldwide organisation, with over 100 countries having Inner Wheel Clubs. It is an all female organisation and membership is open to female relatives of Rotarians or former Rotarians, Inner Wheel members and Rotaract.

There are 29 Inner Wheel Districts in Great Britain and Ireland, and these correspond with Rotary Districts. There will be an Inner Wheel Club somewhere in your area, so why not get in touch and think about joining us. You will receive a very warm welcome.

This year's International President is Pallavi Shah of the Inner Wheel Club of Bombay West, District 314, India. Pallavi's theme for her year is Commit with conviction, compassion, consistency

The Association President is Pam McConnell her charity is the National Osteoporosis Society working with the Irish Osteoporosis Society.
