About District 22
Inner Wheel District 22 covers Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and is one of the 28 Districts that make up the Association of Inner Wheel Clubs in GB&I. There are 19 clubs in the District with around 500 members. Most clubs have a formal meeting each month to enjoy fun and friendship together with social and fundraising activities. District 22 is pleased to have 7 ‘Members at Large’. (These are Ladies whose club has closed, and they are unable to attend another club.)
All District 22 clubs are friendly and inviting, and you are welcome to visit them to see Inner Wheel at its best.
District Chairman
District Chairman Joy Fox
Welcome
Dear Inner Wheel Friends,
Last year, on becoming 1st Vice Chairman. I initially thought, ‘ What do I do?’. Suddenly, many jobs needed to be prepared for my year in office. This includes arranging dates, and particularly my invitations. Inner Wheel is such a caring and thoughtful organisation, you know someone is always there to help if needed. My theme this year is Fun, Friendship and caring, which I am sure all the clubs do without thinking about it. I am a country girl, so I am still getting used to going to all the different places, but I am very much enjoying the Inner Wheel way of life and all the activities.
It is such a privilege to be District Chairman and I will honour the role to the best of my ability supporting every club in all they do.
To all club members, have a Happy Fun Year.
In Friendship
D.C. Joy

Who we support
The Nightingale MacMillan Unit
Nottingham MacMillan Unit, based within the Royal Derby Hospital is a 20-bed specialist palliative care unit which provides care to patients with advanced progressive and life-limiting illnesses. This includes patients with cancer and non-malignant diseases such as motor neurone disease and end-stage organ failure.
Nottinghamshire Hospice cares for people who have been diagnosed with any life-limiting illness.
They aim to add life to days for people who have been told that their illness cannot be cured.
International Charity
Mary’s Meals serves nutritious school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest communities. The promise of a good meal attracts these hungry children into the classroom, giving them the energy to learn and hope for a better future.
