became the 27th President
of the Club
on 01 July 2011

Hello, I am this year’s President of the Inner Wheel Club of Cuckfield and Lindfield and would like to welcome you to our web pages.

Just a little bit of background to myself. I grew up in Bedfordshire, meeting my husband at an inter-college event when I was at teacher training college.

Looking for a student who had wheels to take me – and an elderly gentleman (we were part of a students helping in the community scheme) – to the pub, David kindly volunteered not realising I’m sure that I’d still be with him forty years later.

We have moved about quite a bit, living in Bedford, Stevenage, Harpenden, Morpeth, York and finally Haywards Heath in 1994. Our family consists of three daughters and five grandchildren, ranging in age from six months to 12 years.

Until 2003 I continued teaching, specialising in children with special needs, andfinishing my career as a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator at a large Middle School on the edge of Crawley.

David became a member of Haywards Heath Rotary Club and I joined Cuckfield and Lindfield Inner Wheel in 1999. This is my second term as President. I had such a lovely time the first time I thought I’d have another go.

Whilst continuing our close relationship with Rotary it is now possible to join an Inner Wheel Club without having any prior connection to Rotary. Anyone interested in joining us would be given a very warm welcome.

It is a great privilege to be Cuckfield and Lindfield Inner Wheel’s President and I am looking forward to my year in office.
