Inner Wheel celebrate Inner Wheel Day |

Members of Truro Inner Wheel Club and their guests gathered at
Ruan Lanihorne Reading Room for a coffee morning on Tuesday January
10th to mark Inner Wheel Day. Coffee and homemade cakes were served
and there was a book stall and jewellry stall. A rolling series
of photographs from previous Inner Wheel events were displayed
on a screen. As well as enjoying friendship on a social occasion
the aim of the event was to raise money for the NSPCC. The Club
also supports the Cornwall Refuge Trust and goods were collected
to donate to them. Over twenty people attended this enjoyable
and successful event.

Chris is the
most green-fingered member of our club, and every year she raises
very generous sums both for Club charities and the local parish
church in plant sales.
Her final contribution from this year's plant sales was £100,
and it was her wish that some of it could be given to Wingletang,
our local animal rescue centre. All club members were very happy
to agree to this request for the whole sum and we then also donated
some food, treats and toys.
The photo shows Chris & President Jan, presenting the cheque
to retired greyhound Rosie who is looking for a home. Quite how
Jan didn't come home with Rosie, and Chris didn't adopt another
couple of cats the rest of us are not sure, as they are a pair
of real softies where our 4 footed friends are concerned!!!
The staff of Wingletang were overwhelmed at the donation, sadly
they are bracing themselves for an influx of new animals looking
for homes in the period after Christmas.

| The
ladies of the Inner Wheel Club of Truro celebrated the Club's 78th
Birthday with a lunch at Epiphany House, Truro, on Tuesday November
22nd. This was the first return to the normal Birthday celebration
since Covid and the ladies were pleased to welcome guests, partners,
friends and members of neighbouring Inner Wheel Clubs. Forty three
people braved the inclement weather for a lovely meal and excellent
company. After lunch the group enjoyed an interesting talk by Phil
Boddy and Keith Collings about the Falmouth Cruise Ship Ambassadors.
The organization has been in existence since 2006 and greets the
many cruise ships that arrive in Falmouth each year. It is believed
to be one of very few such groups in the ports visited by cruise
ships and members of the team assist visitors who wish to explore
independently during their time in Falmouth. At the end of proceedings
President Yvonne Allkins presented IW member Rita Temblett with
a plant as the day was also her ninetieth birthday. |

At
our first meeting of the year our speaker was Stephanie Houseman
from Cornwall Library Information Services. Stephanie is a specialist
officer and is also daughter of one of our members Ann Neal.
Stephanie gave us a short but informative talk about the changes
to the library service.
Around thirty libraries in Cornwall have become devolved and
offer a range of services such as music groups and children's
education groups. There is a high turnover of books with newer
and popular books being shared throughout Cornwall. E resources
such as the borrow box where library members can download books,
magazines, newspapers for reading on iPads all for free.The
vote of thanks was given by President Val Pascoe.
Also during the meeting President Val also had the pleasure
of inducting another new member, Dawn Surl.

on from this our annual Christmas bring and buy held during the
November meeting proved to be a success too. Also this year we are
able to hold our Christmas Tombola at Par Garden Centre and this
will help swell the funds in our charity account. |
| This
year President Val has also focused on the friendship side of Inner
Wheel and has organised several social events such as meeting for
Coffee at various locations and day trips out together. These occasions
are being greatly enjoyed by members and are something that will
be set to continue in the future. |

Perranzabuloe |
On 2nd October 2022, Perranzabuloe Inner Wheel invited everyone
and anyone to a breakfast/brunch at St. Michael's Church hall in
Perranporth, in aid of St. Petroc's Society (homeless) and Sowenna
(young people’s mental health). Entry was free, but donations
were asked for and gratefully received. This was the brainwave of
President Mary, who wanted to do something constructive to help
her chosen charities.
Mary and joint President Beryl worked tirelessly, along with other
members. Their husbands/partners and families helped to collect,
set up and deliver delicious breakfasts to the many folk who attended.
There was a raffle, and a bag and scarf/shawl stall (many lovely
bags donated by Dot's sister-in-law). Vanessa's stall, selling
wares made from can ring-pulls by people in the Philippines, which
had to be seen to be believed, was in aid of the Purple Community.
Whilst everyone was setting up in various parts of the hall and
kitchen, it was pouring with rain, but by the time it was all
ready, as if by appointment, out came the sun and in came the
visitors, curious to see what was on offer for breakfast. The
choice was very generous and consisted of: porridge, croissants,
butter, compote (home made) and yogurt. Then there was a table
service of cooked breakfast - scrambled eggs, bacon, tomatoes
and beans, all with toast. Unlimited tea and coffee were also
enjoyed. Our delightful waitresses, Marsha and Abby, were working
very hard to keep up with demand, as were the kitchen staff run
by Trevor and Linda and her fabulous family.
The bags and scarves sold very well too, and everyone was very
generous with buying raffle tickets from Helen.
In three and a half hours we made approximately £1,400 for
the charities - an amazing amount in such a short time. I'm sure
they will be delighted.
We would like to give a massive thank you to everyone who generously
donated anything at all, however large or small, including the
use of the hall, to make it such a successful event. There was
a lovely, happy atmosphere in the hall and customers and workers
alike all enjoyed the fun morning.

| 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 |

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.

which we all enjoyed. Grateful thanks to Penny for hosting the event.
We all took flow tests before gathering together.
