District Chairman Nancy Ralston

I am delighted and proud to have been selected as District 2 Chairman for 2025-26 and to lead the District into a new year. I live in Carluke, Lanarkshire and am a proud member and Past President of the Motherwell and Wishaw Inner Wheel Club.
While I may have officially retired from my work in insurance, I certainly haven’t slowed down! I am still joint owner of an Instrumentation and Calibration Laboratory in Falkirk, which keeps me on my toes. But when I’m not working, I’m usually enjoying my hobbies. You’ll often find me out with my walking group, or perhaps lost in a good book – a habit that led me to co-found a book club during the COVID lockdown. If I’m really lucky, I’ll be enjoying my absolute favourite thing – a lovely cruise!
I’ve also had the privilege of serving as your District 2 Editor until recently and indeed, editorial work has been a thread throughout my life. I have enjoyed visiting most of our 17 clubs over the past few years when I accompanied Past Chairmen Marjorie and Susan. What I’ve consistently found in each club is that incredible sense of true friendship and service that defines Inner Wheel. It’s something I cherish deeply and it’s why I am so committed to our organisation.
I am genuinely excited about the year ahead and the opportunity to work alongside each and every one of you. Together, I know we can achieve great things for our clubs, our district, and our communities. Thank you for placing your trust in me. I look forward to a fantastic year of friendship, service, and fun.
