DISTRICT 129 TRERISE 19 MAY 2025 |
IW
District 129 had an outing to Trerice House near Newquay. The sun
shone, members had time to stroll around the house, and gardens.
Eat and drink and chat together. The highlight of the day was the
most informative talk that was provided for some of the members
about how the Tudors dressed.
Lady Mary wore her night wear, and her maids took us through the
many layers that a wealthy lady would wear to get dressed. All the
costumes had been handmade by volunteers who make up the Trerice
Sewing Club. Our members were then given the opportunity to be dressed
and they proudly paraded around the grounds, and had their photograph
taken in front of the house.
A huge thank you to the National Trust Staff and volunteers for
a wonderful day.

At
the recent meeting of the Inner Wheel Club of Tavistock, Jenny Thomas,
local speaker and advocate for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) gave
a moving talk about the work of CRY, which aims to raise awareness,
fund research, provide screening for 14 to 25 year olds and support
bereaved families, who have lost a young adult from a cardiac death.
On average 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions every
week in the UK.
Screening tends to find one young person with a heart condition
in every 100 screened. They also fund genetic research into heart
conditions. A day of screening costs about £7000 and can see
125 people. All of the 2012 UK Olympic Team were screened by CRY.
A cheque for £1000 was donated to the charity.

My
name is Joyce Moir and I have been a member of Inner Wheel for 58
years. I started in Camelford in 1967 when my husband and I moved
there from London for work. I was invited to join Inner Wheel and
it was a new club, just started and we were all young and eager
to work for Inner Wheel.
After 5 years there we moved to Launceston and I was to join Launceston
Inner Wheel which I did. I have enjoyed my many years as a member
and made many friends and still do. I have been President twice
and Secretary many times also Club Correspondent.
I have found Inner Wheel very interesting and enjoy the meetings,
coffee mornings etc.
I look forward to a few more years of possible as I am 94 years
of age! Joyce Moir
