Welcome to District 14
District Chairman
YVONNE McGUINNESS
Welcome to the website of District 14 of the Association of Inner Wheel Clubs in Great Britain & Ireland.
Here you will find details relating to our Inner Wheel History, our Clubs, together with details of when and where they meet, a Calendar of Events for the current year and links to Inner Wheel beyond our District.
Additionally you will find the means to read a copy of the latest “Feature Fourteen” magazine.
My charity for the year is DEMENTIA UK, a charity that is close to my heart.
Who we are
Inner Wheel Districts can be found in over 100 countries and together have more than 100,000 members.
District 14 is quite a small District encompassing parts of Hampshire, Surrey and Middlesex. It was formed in January 1932, making 2022 our 90th year.
Our District meetings are now held at Imber Court in East Molesey, Esher. They are a great opportunity for members to meet together and chat over lunch, as well as participating in the business meetings.
We currently have just nine Clubs, but what we lack in quantity we make up for in the enthusiasm and friendship of our members.
Charities we support
Dementia UK
BEAT
Revive and Thrive
Our District Year
Plans are underway for our District International Rally to be held on 9th March 2024
Our District 14 Rally is always a very enjoyable day when our Association President comes to lunch and speaks about her year and her special chosen charity, this year BEAT, helping with eating disorders. It is being held in April 2024.
A number of us are going to the the International Inner Wheel Convention in Manchester in May 2024. We all meet up with old friends and make new ones from around the world, and it is another great opportunity for friendship and fun.
90th Birthday Celebration
Members of D14, complete with hats and gloves to honour our founding ladies, gathered together at Imber Court for a delicious array of sandwiches, cakes and cream scones. Chatting and laughter between friends made for a very enjoyable afternoon.
District Chairman Jennie and Past District Chairman Barbara cut the cake which had a cross-stitch ribbon specially made by member Lynda Talbot. Pieces of cake were taken home to enjoy later and everyone agreed it was a lovely way to celebrate 90 wonderful years of District 14.
