| The
Inner Wheel of Truro recently celebrated its 77th birthday at the
Alverton Manor. Our first birthday celebration for two years without
the threat of cancellation from the Pandemic!
After lunch
we enjoyed a talk by Liam Shoesmith an award winning horticulturist.
Liam has a passion for plants and design and as Head Gardener
and Deputy Parks Manager for Truro City Council has been involved
in the design work of flower beds throughout the city.
You can see
from the smiling faces around the table what a joy it was to be
enjoying an afternoon together with an interesting speaker. We
were also delighted to welcome two new members Joyce and Jane
and they are photographed with joint Presidents Maureen and Beryl
and Vice President Yvonne.

An
Auspicious Evening Meeting for the Inner Wheel Roborough Ladies.
On Wednesday 23rd February the President of Inner Wheel Roborough
Jan Dickman handed over a cheque for £2,345.00 to Miranda
Benney the manager of the Mustard Tree Macmillan Support Services.
This money had been raised by the ladies throughout the year.
Through personal experience Jan knew the wonderful work that the
Mustard tree provides and chose them as her charity of the year.
Miranda gave a very informative talk about the work carried out
by both professional and volunteer workers. They have a holistic
approach for those people in need of support as they transition
through cancer treatment. They provide practical support and complimentary
therapies to help both the patient and their families face any fears
they may have. They have continued to give advice right through
the pandemic with phone call appointments, video appointment and
the use of zoom. They have a facebook page and use Twitter, you
can even have a virtual coffee and a chat.
A wonderful service for which we are very grateful. Thank you to
all and all of the people involved in the Mustard Tree. |

The
first Inner Wheel Roborough meeting of the year and we so enjoyed
it. Our speaker this evening was the amazing Helen West, amazing
because Helen has recently completed the 1011 mile cycle ride from
Lands End to John O Groats. She spent 91 hours cycling and raised
£12,000 in the process. Peak Tours were behind the scene and
arranged everything so our lady was supported, along with others
from morning to night. Helen had to complete a gruelling 10 week
training program. She was not able to take her bike so hired one
from Peak Tours but with her own saddle and pedals.
Helen told us that she did not look at the whole distance but concentrated
on 20 miles then there would be a Tea break, 20miles and Lunch,
20 miles and afternoon tea,20 miles and Dinner, even if the distance
between stops was more. Helen had it sorted in her mind that she
could do this and do it she did. An incredible feat that not many
of us would even think of let alone do. A fantastic epic journey
which Helen told with such flair and comic timing.
Helen also presented our president Jan Dickman with a cheque as
a thank you for the support the Inner Wheel of Roborough had given
to Roborough Rotary during the Christmas Sleigh event. Monies collected
go to local charities.

Inner

a grand birthday. Friendship and fun plus raising of some monies.
We brought along scarves, some of which were sold, and learnt how
to wear them in different ways. We also prepared all our used Christmas
stamps ready to go to charity. Of course there was a lovely lunch
which we all enjoyed. Grateful thanks to Penny for hosting the event.
We all took flow tests before gathering together.
