            | I have lived 
              in Cornwall for 12 years after relocating from Bedfordshire following 
              retirement from teaching. Friends thought we were mad and would 
              regret our upheaval  how wrong could they be? 
 From the moment we arrived in Cornwall we knew this was the place 
              that would be our forever home. We initially lived outside Launceston 
              and busied ourselves about getting involved in village life and 
              volunteering for the National Trust and Bodmin Heritage Railway 
              and searching for a permanent home. Alan transferred to Launceston 
              Rotary Club and I was invited to a Launceston Inner Wheel meeting 
              and welcomed warmly, soon becoming a member and then later becoming 
              President.
 
 After finding our new home, I transferred to Bude Inner Wheel and 
              was again welcomed and made to feel part of the team  isnt 
              Inner Wheel such a marvellous organisation?
 
 I became President of the Bude Club in 2019, little knowing what 
              was going to happen to us all within a few months. All my plans 
              for functions and fund-raising disappeared with the onset of the 
              pandemic to be replaced with the task of keeping club members together, 
              apart!
 
 I am really looking forward to having another chance to be President 
              of the Bude Club this year; time to dust off those old plans
