Introducing
DC Beatrice Dyer
I am Cornish born and bred on a farm near Camborne with a mother
who joined Inner Wheel in1963, so I got roped in to help at
events and became a “little cog”.
After going away to Teacher Training College in Gloucester I
returned to Cornwall and became a member of Rotoract as well
as playing a role in Cornwall Young Farmers.
My career was spent teaching in Helston and then Camborne for
a total of 37 years when I took early retirement due to having
breast cancer in 2005.
On retirement I became Chairman of the Friends of the Royal
Cornwall Hospital and have really enjoyed supporting a charity
that is able to make a difference supporting volunteers and
raisinfg funds for the only acute hospital in Cornwall.
I joined Inner Wheel to have a group of friends in Truro (which
I did bot have time to develop whilst teaching full time and
supporting my husband in his local government work) I have been
President of Truro as well as their International Officer. It
is ad that the Truro club is closing but I am looking forward
to making more friendships as I transfer to IW Club of Perranzabuloe,
as well as visiting other clubs in District 129 during my year
as Chairmn.
Introducing Linda Rainsworth International Officer
My early childhood was spent sometimes in Norway on my father’s
family farm with Lutheranism, and in Liverpool with my mother’s
Irish Catholic family, which certainly gave me an interesting
perspective on life growing up. as a child I found the Library,
so much knowledge to be had, this awakened my
passion for books and Education!
In 1987 my husband Peter was stationed near Morwenstow so we
moved to Cornwall, but then after several postings, we spent
the last 4 years of his career in Cyprus before retiring to
Norway where Peter took up golf and I continued my 6 years OU.
Bachelor degree (honours) course which I had
started in Cyprus. This led on to me teaching English language
skills to Norwegians. I also worked for Folketsuniversitetet
Bergen, and also at this time I registered my own Teaching business
and started to create my own courses combining English with
Conversation and Culture which in turn led to
summer trips to GB to explore the places which were very popular
, particularly the ‘Wild Cornish Coast’. In this period
I was contacted by an official department for refugees and Asylum
seekers to do some work within the centres, which was very rewarding.
Due to various health issues, my husband really wanted us to
return to Cornwall, quite an adventure with our 7 rescue cats
from Norway but we all got here safely in 2016.
Because of my travels and experiences I feel very privileged
to have worked with people of many nationalities, and have served
on various committees in Norway & Cyprus and look forward
to continuing in a small way as District 129 International Service
officerI enjoy books and music, walking in nature, gardening
and garden design, including brick laying and cementing, and
of course my rescue cats.
