Auchterarder & District

Fun & Friendship

Where do we meet?

Auchterarder & District  Inner Wheel is part of Inner Wheel District 1, and we meet at Auchterarder Golf Club, Ochil Road, Auchterarder PH3 2LS.  From November, meetings will be held at 12 for 12.30pm on the first Thursday of each monthNo formal meetings are held in July & August but coffee mornings, fundraising and social events continue throughout the year.

Our Club 

Auchterarder was chartered in 1982 which means we recently celebrated our 40th Anniversary. See pictures.  We currently have 31 members.  As well as the monthly meetings members enjoy regular coffee mornings, knitting & crafts, group  walks and outings as well as fundraising for local and international projects.

100 for 100 

This year the club collected and donated all this food for their local food bank – seen in the boot of a car – it weighed in at 103kg – definitely 100 for 100!

Stall at Christmas Market

We took a stall at the recent Christmas Market as a fundraiser but also to raise the profile of the club and get some publicity.  Great day was had by all.  

Summer Outing 

Members enjoyed their end of year outing to Glamis Castle – the sun shone and we were enthrawled by the many tales told by a very entertaining guide.  

 Publicity & Membership

This year the club has been focusing on raising its profile in the local community by using the digital notice boards in the town and putting ads in the regular local news magazine.  This has resulted in attracting several new members most of whom have only recently moved to the area.

BEAT Coffee Morning

A Coffee Morning was held recently to raise funds for the Association President’s Charity BEAT.  

Suitcases for Zambia

In October, our speakers were Nat and Fiona Chalamanda who collect clothes and suitcases to take out to Malawi. The suitcases are then used to store the clothes.

Sponsored Walk 

A very successful sponsored walk was organised in aid of Riding for the Disabled (RDA). RDA has been enriching lives of adults and children for over 55 years. There is a therapeutic benefit for people with disabilities working with horses and RDA is primarily run by volunteers.

Calendar girls

 

An amazing calendar has been produced to celebrate 40 Years of Auchterarder Inner Wheel.  Members were involved both infront and behind the camera –  and the pictures show the many activities and charities the club is involved in.

A red letter day for the club shared with friends from our neighbouring clubs.
