Hilary Genes, Chairman of Inner Wheel District 129

I attended
the Jubilee Parade at Truro to represent Inner Wheel 129
District on Thursday 1 June 2022. It was a great honour
to be chosen and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to
honour our Majesty the Queen, along with other dignitaries
and members of the public, in my role as Inner Wheel District
Chairman to advertise our Organisation. I was accompanied
by my fiance and our President of Liskeard and Looe and
her husband who was the President of the Rotary Club of
Liskeard and Looe.
The people of Coornwall paraded the streets of Truro to
celebrate the Queen's 70 years of dedicated service to us
all. We thank her Majesty for her service and for leading
the Nation and the Commonwealth with principles and values
which shape and guide our society. Let us send Her Majesty
our heartiest congratulations on this auspicious occasion.
With everyone gathered in High Cross, the Dean welcomed
everyone and said prayers and hymns, led by the City of
Truro Male choir, a reading. Mr James Williams represented
the Lord-Lieutenant (who had Covid), the Bishop of Truro
and the Mayor of Truro gave their appreciation of the Queen.
A Jubilee Celebration by Gareth Churcher, performed by St
Kevern Youth Band. The Dean then led the prayers and followed
by resounding renditions of the Trelawney led by the City
of Truro Male Choir. |

As
I am sure you are aware, National President Betty Roberts
has challenged all the members to walk 2.5 miles each
this year, which would equate to Land's End to John
O'Groats, in support of the Stroke Association.
She has had a teddy made who will visit each District
to help with advertising this .

details click here
Vanessa offered to start the event off in style by taking
him to Land's End and attached is a photo with a short
write up and his 'postcard' home!!
Vanessa
has also had a teddy made in IW colours to visit each
of our clubs in the District to hopefully be photographed
at various events, so I would like to think that we
could get a good run of reports of this,

Presidents
Vanessa and Sue of Perranzabuloe and Redruth were delighted
to take Teddy down to Land's End to start him off on his
tour of UK to raise awareness of both Inner Wheel and
the Stroke Association. Teddy hopes to be able to raise
some funds at the same time.
Keep an eye on the association Facebook page to follow
some more of his adventures as he encourages the Inner
Wheel members on their virtual walk from Land's End to
John O'Groats.
He also sent his first virtual postcard to his 'Mum' Betty
Roberts

Hello
Mum,
Today I travelled in a car, not a box, it was
great!
The weather has been hot here but this evening
it was warm and comfortable.The
sea, stretching out behind me was calm and the
air was still.
President Sue Norfolk of Redruth and President
Vanessa Hughes of Perranzabuloe were careful not
to drop me over the edge.
We stopped at Marazion beach on the way home and
I saw St Michael's Mount.
See you soon
Teddy
