Anyone for Tea?

The concrete cows of Milton Keynes have never seen anything like it before. Club members took an afternoon tea party with a difference at this popular iconic site. And it was all to celebrate St George's Day in spectacular style. Nationwide, people were challenged to take tea in the most unique way or unusual location. We think we might be on a bit of a winner here! Pictured are Immediate Past President Jean Moxham (front left) and club members in all their resplendency

Stony Lights Christmas Fair

Club members were out in force last December, braving the inclement weather, in Stony Stratford High Street. The stall is a regular feature in this very popular street fair leading up to the switching on of the Christmas street lights. Visitors to the fair were entertained by street entertainers plus the skillful selling tactics of Inner Wheel members! Pictured are some of the Christmas goodies on sale, all to raise money for local good causes

Peace Planting

	On United Nations International Day of Peace the Mayor of Milton Keynes, Cllr Brin Carstens, planted a peace rose in the garden at MK Hospital, which is tended by members of the Inner Wheel Club of Wolverton. Looking on are Beryl Dawson (President 2006/07) and Club Correspondent Gay Halewood
