Personal Message from Joint Presidents Gerry & Toni

Welcome to the website of the Inner Wheel of Reading Maiden Erlegh

We are pleased to become the first Joint Presidents of this vibrant club. Our husbands will

be joint Presidents of the Rotary Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh.

Our current membership is 40 and we meet once a month at Sonning Golf Club for a meal,

speaker and club catch up. We enjoy social and fundraising events with our partners,

friends and members of Rotary. We would like ALL Inner Wheel ladies to be involved,

especially our new members.

On 10 January 2024 the Inner Wheel Association of Great Britain and Ireland was 100 years

old. It was founded in Manchester by a group of ladies, wives of Rotarians, and has grown

into the international organisation it is today. Inner Wheel has kept up with the times and

now has open membership. The original aims of promoting true friendship, encouraging the

ideals of personal service and fostering international understanding are still as relevant

today as they were in 1924. We are celebrating this anniversary by following the challenges

of 100 items for 100 years. These challenges will continue, it is a focus and we have endless

ideas.

Alongside the fun and friendship of coffee mornings and bring/share meals, bridge club and

book club, theatre and boat trips etc we are also committed to helping others less fortunate

than ourselves. We organise charity fund raising events eg; soup lunches, bridge drives,

fashion shows, stalls at fetes.

Our chosen charities for this year are essentially the Link Visiting Scheme and Sue Ryder,

Duchess of Kent Cancer Care Unit in Reading. We will continue to support The Cowshed,

the annual Macmillan Coffee Morning and Berkshire Vision.

We welcome new members from all nationalities and walks of life. Please consider joining us.
