Inner Wheel Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh

SEVENTY-FIVE members and guests of the Inner Wheel Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh relished the chance to dress up for the black-tie dinner held at Bearwood Lakes Golf Club in celebration of the centenary of Inner Wheel.

Guests were welcomed with a drink and enjoyed the beautiful music of harpist Marion England.

A delicious meal was then enjoyed by all before diners were entertained by the Belle Canto Trio with songs through the decades since the Twenties, when Inner Wheel was formed.

Inner Wheel District 9 chairman Hilary Tindall told guests about the history of Inner Wheel in this country. Reading Maiden Erlegh president Margaret Adams spoke about what the club had achieved since 2002 when it was chartered.

Many local, national and international charities have been supported by a variety of events the club has organised, raising about £100,000.

We have had lots of fun and camaraderie and many long-lasting friendships have been formed. The evening ended, as it began, with a glass of bubbly and a celebration cake.

Inner Wheel began in the UK in 1924 and is now one of the largest organisations for women with more than 100,000 members in more than 103 countries.
