Perranzabuloe |
| Once
a month we meet for our "Knit and Natter" afternoon. We
knit for various charities, making 'fidget' sleeves for dementia
suffers, 'fish and chip' tunics and caps for new-borns for countries
where the mothers have nothing to wrap their new babies in except
newspapers, scarves etc. for the homeless, and so on. However, we
mostly natter - knitting if not very prominent at these get-togethers.
We now meet in Marsha's lovely garden (weather permitting) or indoors,
and she provides delicious home-made cakes and tea or coffee. In
July we were joined by Eleanor Wingrove, who recently moved from
Cornwall, and was encouraged by one of our members, Helen to contact
her local Inner Wheel Club. She subsequently was admitted to Solihull
I.W. Eleanor was visiting Helen, so came to our Knit and Natter
afternoon and was welcomed by all members present |

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.

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.

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.
