Reading Maiden Erlegh
Central Southern England
Inner Wheel
The Inner Wheel Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh was chartered in February 2002, comprising the spouses and partners of the Rotarians of Reading Maiden Erlegh. Inner Wheel as an organisation - its name emphasising the strong links it maintains with Rotary - was formed in 1924 to complement Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland; it became international in 1967 and is now one of the largest world wide organisations for women with over 100,000 members in more than 95 countries.
The first Inner Wheel meeting was held in Manchester on 10th January 1924, that first Club comprising the wives of local Rotarians. These days Inner Wheel also welcomes partners, mothers, sisters, daughters, daughters-in-law and step-daughters of Rotarians. Also the mothers, sisters and daughters of Inner Wheel members, plus the wives of Rotaractors, former female members of Rotaract, female Rotarians or female former Rotarians.
The Joys of Inner Wheel
Belonging to Inner Wheel gives members the opportunity to share friendships in Clubs and Districts in Great Britain and Ireland and throughout the world.
A member may visit another Inner Wheel Club whether it be in her own district, country or overseas and is always assured of a warm welcome. One of the greatest joys of Inner Wheel is the opportunity given to members the world over to learn to know one another and to exchange ideas.
Which is why the Inner Wheel badge is seen as a symbol of international understanding, friendship and service.

To foster international understanding |
