About District 15
District 15 covers the counties of Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire on the West coast of Wales, part of Powys in Mid Wales and across the South Wales counties to Gwent in the East. All clubs meet at least once a month (apart from August) with fun and fellowship on the agenda.
Our activities include lots of coffee mornings, lunches and afternoon teas. This is often where we raise money for charities, and where we come up with more interesting ideas on how to do so whilst we are socializing and enjoying each other’s company.
Recent fundraising ventures have included a silent auction, a fish and chip supper, a minced pie and mulled wine night and a Charity Lunch.
District Chairman
District Chairman Wendy Ashton
Welcome
I joined Inner Wheel during COVID. COVID eventually ended and I got to meet lots of wonderful ladies, who made me very welcome.
A couple of years later. I was once again encouraged to become Vice President of the Cardiff club. They ommitted to tell me that the Vice President was expected to eventually take on the club President role.
My time as President finished two years ago and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Becoming District Vice Chairman the pattern continued, after much encouragement at the Conference in Harrogate and being told you can do this for around 3 days, I found myself standing as 1st Vice Chairman.
I looked forward to being District Chairman with great trepidation. However, again everyone I met in District 15 has been very supportive and I am now looking forward to meeting many more members in their clubs all over South Wales.
