District Chairman
Bea suggested that our Spring District meeting should be held
on International Women's Day in celebration of women everywhere
and all that we accomplish.
73 ladies gathered at Trethorne, near Launceston , from all corners
of Cornwall, Plymouth and Tavistock to hear our guest speaker
Dr Mairi McLean who gave us an entertaining but thought provoking
insight into her life and career starting out as a trainee social
worker and coming, by quite an indirect but always challenging
route, to her current role as Chairman of the Board of The Royal
Cornwall Hospital Trust.
Mairi detailed some of the many obstacles put in her way, and
the way of many women in the workplace, and the importance of
a 'good listening to' rather than a 'good talking to' when issues
arose in the workplace, and to be aware not only how you spoke
but how you sounded to others, particularly to junior colleagues,
a smile was a good start.
After a few minutes for questions and discussion we all adjourned
to the dining room for an excellent lunch.
The business meeting was held at 2pm and thanks to Bea's leadership
it was all done and dusted by 3.05pm.
Afternoon tea was then served, followed by an inter-club bowling
tournament.
The next District gathering will be a day at Pencarrow house near
Bodmin on Wednesday May 15th, where they are looking forward to
welcoming us tocelebrate 100 years of Inner Wheel, with a tour
of the house and a private garden area for a celebration picnic
to be followed by birthday cake and prosecco, Sunshine has been
requested.
