Tenby’s 80th Anniversary

The Inner Wheel Club of Tenby celebrated their 80th Anniversary with a lunch at the Giltar Hotel in Tenby on a glorious Sunday in October.

The Club was set up in 1946 by a group of Rotary wives, the founder President was Mrs M M Howells, known locally as Mrs Pinnie Howells, a formidable lady who went on to be District Chairman of District 15, 1953 – 1954. The members have supported local and overseas causes and lifelong friendships have been formed.

District Chairman Wendy cut the celebratory cake, a certificate was given to Tenby President of the month Maggie, and also inducted new member Jayne presenting her with her brooch.
