ROYAL Forest of Dean Inner Wheel Association welcomed Jenny East as its new president this month, as they celebrated a successful year.

The local branch of one of the largest women’s voluntary organisations in the world said goodbye to Sally Taylor, who has been president since 2015.

Sue Boulter, from Inner Wheel, said: “We’ve had a very good year, which included a programme of speakers from BBC Radio Gloucestershire, Guide Dogs for the Blind, the Alzheimer’s Society and Canine Partners. We’ve also presented £500 each to three local charities.”

Meetings, including supper, are held once a month at Forest Hills Golf Club and new members are welcome. To find out more, contact Sally Taylor on 01452 830773 or 07921 789563 or email [email protected]
