Beryl said that she was very much looking forward to being District Chairman in the coming year, even though it is a role she has taken before. She is looking forward to the District Rally in November which will be held Bude, preceded by a church service. Plans are already underway and although some travelling will be involved, Beryl hopes as many members as possible will attend. Beryl firmly believes that participation in District meetings is worthwhile for all members and that this enables them to get more out of their membership of Inner Wheel.

Beryl has been a member of Inner Wheel since the 1970s and has greatly enjoyed serving on committees and the DEC. She urged members to consider serving on the DEC, it is not difficult and nobody expects you to be perfect.
Beryl feels that Inner Wheel has given her the opportunity to tackle things that she never dreamed she could do.

Beryl thanked everyone for being part of Inner Wheel and encouraged all to enjoy their participation.

Beryl announced her charity for the year; Cornwall Air Ambulance. She apologised in advance for her non-attendance at the next District Meeting due to a pre-booked holiday. Vice Chairman Hilary Genes will chair the meeting.
