The latest function I attended was the 43rd Charter Anniversary of the Inner Wheel Club of Hucknall. President Nova Haskey kindly invited me along and I joined in sharing the occasion along with her members and guests. Following the successful formation of Rotary, the wives of Rotarians wanted to serve the community in a similar way and so in 1923 a group of ladies gathered together in Manchester and by the following year, The Inner Wheel Club of Manchester was up and running. The Inner Wheel badge is a rotary wheel with a smaller cog inside it - the inner wheel which helps the big wheel turn. Certainly this is true of Hucknall, without the mutual support of both organisations, a lot of projects would not get done.
We were served a lovely meal at the Tee House, Leen Valley Golf Club, Hucknall. Two power cuts interrupted the meal, and made it feel like we were eating in shifts. What should have been a lovely Spring afternoon was more like winter and everyone battled the snow to get there. The arrangements that members of the Inner Wheel had made for their charter was excellent and Pat Hall from Ashbourne was the delightful speaker who entertained us with her jokes and poems.
