Yesterday was District 22 induction day; a time for the new club officers to learn about there roles and to welcome and induct the district levels posts too.

The best part of the day is to socialise with members from other clubs as well as our own Mansfield contingency!

Members from across the Inner Wheel District 22 were delighted to attend the recent Summer Garden Party, graciously hosted by Elaine Campin and her husband in their beautiful garden. It was a most enjoyable occasion, the weather was warm with no rain and the we had the warmest of company.

Guests were treated to musical entertainment from <Dain do you know there names>, followed by a lively game of bingo which brought much laughter and cheer. Hazel Gifford, our bingo caller has certainly missed her vocation!!!

A delicious meal was served; thank you to all that contributed and helped. The atmosphere throughout the day was one of friendship, celebration and not forgetting fun!

Sincere thanks must go to Elaine and her husband for their generous hospitality, and to the members of Mansfield Inner Wheel who gave so much of their time and effort to help ensure the event ran smoothly. It was a lovely afternoon, and a wonderful reminder of the fellowship and spirit at the heart of Inner Wheel.

President Jenny, handed over the mantle to our new Inner Wheel President Dain Pinder. Gosh, hasn’t this year gone so quickly!! We have had a fun packed year, packing baby bundles, modelling at our fashion show, frog racing, going out for dinner at the Redgate Inn and Rustic Crust!!

And so on to the next Inner Wheel Year. Jenny inducted Dain. president of the Inner Wheel Club of Mansfield for the year 2025 to 2026. Dain thanked Jenny for all she had done and presented her with a gift and flower arrangement from the Club.

Members of Mansfield Inner Wheel recently gathered to celebrate the Charter of our President, Jenny Burroughes, marking the conclusion of her year in office and recognising a term of dedicated and thoughtful leadership.

The Charter evening was a most enjoyable occasion, offering an opportunity to reflect on the past year’s achievements and to share in the friendship that lies at the heart of Inner Wheel. Under Jenny’s guidance, the club has continued its commitment to service, fellowship, and support within the local community as well as raising money for charity.  Jenny’s chosen charities centred around young people fighting cancer.

It was a pleasure to come together in such good company to honour her efforts and to express our sincere thanks for the enthusiasm and kindness she has brought to her role. As she prepares to hand over the chain of office, we do so with warm appreciation for all she has done during her year as President.

A very big thank you from Hazel and Elaine to those members who came to the working day.

Only 12 were present but an enjoyable morning was had with 54 baby bundles being completed as well as lots of stamp cutting and an enjoyable social lunch!

Mansfield Inner Wheel’s Christmas Party turned into a festive spectacle this year, enchanting attendees with a delightful pantomime performed by none other than the committee members themselves and a few additional extra’s!!

This year’s performance, of The Wizard of Oz, brought laughter and joy to everyone in attendance. The committee members took to the stage, showcasing their hidden talents and comedic prowess.

Glamour and Generosity were the highlight of November with Mansfield Inner Wheel’s Annual Fashion Show. 

All clothing was supplied by VB Style, with models from Inner Wheel and friends of members who wanted to give their time for a good cause. 

Our membership officer, Laura Bucks,  3 children got involved being models for the evening and by the look of it, thoroughly enjoyed their role!!

A total of £1700 was raised for our presidents charities, Teenage Cancer Trust and Young Lives vs Cancer.

A ribbiting good night was had by all at the Frog Race Fundraiser! Fish and Chips were served at half-time!! Just add, no frogs were harmed during this ‘leaping’ good night!

We celebrated our Charter Anniversary in style last night with superb entertainment from Martin Perry. Kathy led us smoothly through the evening and welcomed Mary Hind, Chair of the Inner Wheel District 22 Committee

We put on our glad rags and has a really good time

Rosemary produced some gorgeous flower arrangements and those with recent birthdays were lucky enough to take one home
