The Inner Wheel National conference was held in Llandudno when around 800 ladies, including six from Mansfield IW enjoyed three days of fun and friendship, despite the very windy showery weather. 

Our conference started with a service led by the Association President Pam Boyes followed by greetings from the Mayor of Llandudno and the President of International IW Kay Moorland. We were then treated to speakers from Anglesey Sea Zoo, Tourettes Action, Thatchers’ Cider and Ronald McDonald House Charities. Tuesday evenings entertainment was “A Night at the Musicals” by the very talented Welsh of The West End group, everyone joined in and were on their feet a great evening.

Wednesday morning was the AGM followed by the guest speaker Patrick Grant from the ‘The Great British Sewing Bee’; Patrick suggested that the members might like to make an outfit out of Inner Wheel scarves. After his presentation based around the quality or lack of quality of a roasting tin, he picked the winners. There were 19 entries, our member Nicola in her fabulous dress with matching accessories was picked out first and the four winners paraded on the stage. Nicola looked stunning a well deserved winner. The afternoon concluded with an amazing junior school choir definitely some future stars there!

The Presidents evening was very lively with all in fancy dress ranging through the 50’s to 90’s and music to match from The Zoots band. 

An excellent few days with many laughs, fun and friendships, why not join us next year when we will be in Cheltenham it’s great fun
