Inner Wheel Club of Woodbridge


our October supper meeting, President Chris Mason welcomed our special guest Sue Verow who talked about her ‘Life in Health Care’ and what a career it was, and still is (!) embracing the NHS, the Military as a senior officer in the Queen Alexandra Royal Army Nursing Corps, the Private sector, work with statutory health care bodies, and latterly with the Royal British Legion in Suffolk. Sue declared at the outset that none of her career was ‘planned’, it just ‘happened’, but surely there can’t be many people who have had such a breadth and depth of experience, not least of the way nursing has changed over a 50 year period. Her talk was truly absorbing, and Sue was warmly thanked by Anne White on behalf of us all.


Later this month we look forward to being the Host Club for


an Inner Wheel District


Rally, an opportunity for members of 14 Inner Wheel Clubs to get together for an enjoyable day.


In addition to our social activities, our Club is now geared up for a busy Inner Wheel year supporting a range of local, regional, national and international charities, both on our own account -


President


Chris’s chosen charities for this year are “Over the Rainbow” and The Eve Appeal and in support of the two local Rotary Clubs. Two key dates in the calendar for 2020 are our Quiz Evening on February 28th, and a Fashion Show on April 6th. For more information about our Club, please do visit our website woodbridgeinnerwheel. org.uk


NEW Horizons, the club for active


in the


area, continues to grow and thrive. We really do need extra volunteer leaders to help out with the occasional Monday and/or


Thursday sessions,


however. There are always two leaders present and you are well supported by other volunteers. Tasks would include


taking


the register, collecting the daily fees and generally over- seeing the day’s activities. Full training would be provided.
