BODMIN |
|
In October this year, Mt Edgcumbe Hospital is celebrating their
45th anniversary and to support this special occasion members of
Bodmin have been busy knitting teddies in pink and lime green (the
colours of the hospital) plus lovely warm knitted hats, fingerless
mittens, jumpers and some beautiful crocheted blankets, just right
for our current weather. More beautiful memory boxes have been created
as their bereavement councillor mentioned that families like to
buy these for keepsakes, momentoes and special items after a loved
one has passed. Many other items have also been made for their sales
table to help support this wonderful charity. The Neonatal Unit
at Treliske Hospital has also been benefitting from our craft members
expertise with donation of a selection of beautiful quilts and covers.
From April
to September the Club has a walking group which ventures out monthly
to walk round the Bodmin area. The first walk of the year is always
along the Camel Trail with a stop for coffee at the cafe. Other
walks have been to Laveddon and Lanhydrock House with the final
outing in October this time walking to various sites in the Town
and a final stop at Barnecutts for refreshments.
Throughout
June, July, August and September Bodmin members have been holding
afternoon cream teas in St. Petroc's Church with support from
Church members. Through the hard work of members who have helped
and given up their time on the four, Sunday afternoons plus donations
from members, the events have been highly successful and the money
raised, which is shared between the Club and the Church, will
contribute to supporting local families over the Christmas period.

BUSY
TIME FOR BODMIN INNER WHEEL CRAFT GROUP MEMBERS
Although its Summer and the Club doesn't have a meeting, the craft
group members have ben busy making cushions and bed throws for Mount
Edgcumbe Hospice. They will be used for their patients or to sell
on their craft sales table raising vital funds for the hospice.
To help publicise Inner Wheel, adhesive labels are attached to the
items which is a great way to advertise our Club and show one of
the ways we work within our community plus rewarding to know that
we can make a difference. The craft group members are now looking
to create more projects and come up with ideas to further support

Well,
she did it. Bude President Di, with her new hip and her band of
supporters went down to Bodmin Airfield on 2nd July and did a sponsored
gyro flight in aid of her charities. The flight was 30 mins, down
to the Fowey estuary and back. Di said the scenery was beautiful
but those of us who stayed on the ground were happy to take her
word for it. Her charities are Bude Sea Pool, Bude Exercising for
Mobility, Bude Parkinson's Society and CLIC Sargent. People gave
very generously and around £2,000 was raised. She's going
to be a hard act to follow!

DISTRICT 129 TRERISE 19 MAY 2025 |
|
IW
District 129 had an outing to Trerice House near Newquay. The sun
shone, members had time to stroll around the house, and gardens.
Eat and drink and chat together. The highlight of the day was the
most informative talk that was provided for some of the members
about how the Tudors dressed.
Lady Mary wore her night wear, and her maids took us through the
many layers that a wealthy lady would wear to get dressed. All the
costumes had been handmade by volunteers who make up the Trerice
Sewing Club. Our members were then given the opportunity to be dressed
and they proudly paraded around the grounds, and had their photograph
taken in front of the house.
A huge thank you to the National Trust Staff and volunteers for
a wonderful day.

At
the recent meeting of the Inner Wheel Club of Tavistock, Jenny Thomas,
local speaker and advocate for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) gave
a moving talk about the work of CRY, which aims to raise awareness,
fund research, provide screening for 14 to 25 year olds and support
bereaved families, who have lost a young adult from a cardiac death.
On average 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions every
week in the UK.
Screening tends to find one young person with a heart condition
in every 100 screened. They also fund genetic research into heart
conditions. A day of screening costs about £7000 and can see
125 people. All of the 2012 UK Olympic Team were screened by CRY.
A cheque for £1000 was donated to the charity.

My
name is Joyce Moir and I have been a member of Inner Wheel for 58
years. I started in Camelford in 1967 when my husband and I moved
there from London for work. I was invited to join Inner Wheel and
it was a new club, just started and we were all young and eager
to work for Inner Wheel.
After 5 years there we moved to Launceston and I was to join Launceston
Inner Wheel which I did. I have enjoyed my many years as a member
and made many friends and still do. I have been President twice
and Secretary many times also Club Correspondent.
I have found Inner Wheel very interesting and enjoy the meetings,
coffee mornings etc.
I look forward to a few more years of possible as I am 94 years
of age! Joyce Moir
