            | Members 
                met at Trethorne Golf Club Friday 8 March and had an inspirational 
                talk by Dr Maria McLain Chairwoman of the Board of The Royal Cornwall 
                Hospital Trust |

            | District Chairman 
                Bea suggested that our Spring District meeting should be held 
                on International Women's Day in celebration of women everywhere 
                and all that we accomplish.
 73 ladies gathered at Trethorne, near Launceston , from all corners 
                of Cornwall, Plymouth and Tavistock to hear our guest speaker 
                Dr Mairi McLean who gave us an entertaining but thought provoking 
                insight into her life and career starting out as a trainee social 
                worker and coming, by quite an indirect but always challenging 
                route, to her current role as Chairman of the Board of The Royal 
                Cornwall Hospital Trust.
 
 Mairi detailed some of the many obstacles put in her way, and 
                the way of many women in the workplace, and the importance of 
                a 'good listening to' rather than a 'good talking to' when issues 
                arose in the workplace, and to be aware not only how you spoke 
                but how you sounded to others, particularly to junior colleagues, 
                a smile was a good start.
 
 After a few minutes for questions and discussion we all adjourned 
                to the dining room for an excellent lunch.
 
 The business meeting was held at 2pm and thanks to Bea's leadership 
                it was all done and dusted by 3.05pm.
 Afternoon tea was then served, followed by an inter-club bowling 
                tournament.
 
 The next District gathering will be a day at Pencarrow house near 
                Bodmin on Wednesday May 15th, where they are looking forward to 
                welcoming us tocelebrate 100 years of Inner Wheel, with a tour 
                of the house and a private garden area for a celebration picnic 
                to be followed by birthday cake and prosecco, Sunshine has been 
                requested.
