PRESIDENT 2025- 2026
|
|
Born in Helston, the home of the Ancient Furry dance, I have lived
in Cornwall for the whole of my life. Having been president of
Helston-Lizard Inner Wheel in 2018/19 I have agreed to take a
second term.
I worked for the motor taxation department at County Hall prior
to having my children and when they started school, I retrained
as a swimming teacher and aquafit instructor. I no longer work
as an aqua fit instructor but still teach swimming at a school
and in a private pool.
I have always had an interest in sport having played netball for
the county and badminton for Helston for many years. I have also
skied for many years having started when my children were at primary
school but, having skied earlier this year, I feel that it may
be time to find a pursuit with less risk!
Until recently I was also competing at age group level as a runner
but my main activities now are aquafit, pilates and a spin class
at a local fitness centre which I undertake about two or three
times a week.
Much of my time is now taken up with my three grandchildren who
all live locally. They have followed in the family sporting tradition,
so many weekends are spent on the sidelines of a football match,
athletics event or sur lifesaving event.

Report 2018 - 2019 |
|
At our December meeting members brought and wrapped presents for
onward transmission to the women's refuge in Penzance which were
greatly appreciated. We also made a donation to the Salvation
Army in lieu of exchanging Christmas cards.
Inner Wheel Day was celebrated with a walk and lunch, provided
by Wendy Wallis, with donations in aid of Parkinson's. As in previous
years the weather was kind to us!
Drinks and nibbles at the home of Debbie Osborne raised some much
needed funds for Bishop's Forum, and was enjoyed by all.
In March Members, friends and family had their minds exercised
at a Murder Mystery evening at Rosewarne Manor, taking on the
role of sleuths and raising money for our President's chosen charity
Sea Sanctuary.
This was shortly followed by a visit to the "escape room"
at Newlyn, a truly unforgettable experience.
The annual Bluebell Walk and lunch at the home of Joy Porch was
once again enjoyed by all.
A coffee morning to support a pre-school in Mozambique was extremely
successful, and our busy year was topped off with a most entertaining
Car Treasure Hunt, followed by a cream tea at Anne Russell's.
We have been lucky to enjoy a variety of speakers at our monthly
meetings including; a talk by a Street Pastor, and some very interesting
slide shows.
