The Inner Wheel Club of Guernsey is a thriving, active club currently with 44 members.
Our president for 2023 to 2024 is Linda Parish and under her leadership this year we will be raising funds for her charity Home-Start.
We also work closely with the two Rotary Clubs on the Island assisting them with the shoebox appeal and also the Tree of Joy which provides Christmas presents for children in need who have been identified by local social organisations. We also man a checkpoint on the Saffery Rotary Round the Island Walk and provide help with Autism Guernsey clients attending the Winter Wonderland illuminations.
We meet once a month during the Inner Wheel ‘year’ of June to June but throughout the year we enjoy a programme of speakers and additional social events.

History of our Club
The Inner Wheel Club of Guernsey was formed on 30th January 1947 and the inaugural meeting was held at The Royal Hotel. Subscriptions were set at 10/6 per annum and meetings were held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month.
The Club was officially chartered on 24th September 1947.
The Guernsey Club is part of District 11 and we have close links with our friends both in the UK and in Jersey and we visit both District, National and Channel Island events whenever possible. We currently have 44 members and 2 Honorary members, one of whom is Lady Corder, the wife of our Lieutenant Governor.
How we operate
Our Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month from September to June at La Villette Hotel at 7:00 for 7:30 p.m. We have either a business meeting and/or a speaker and we also have various other social, fun and fund raising events. Throughout the year we support the work of the Rotary Clubs in Guernsey and each year our President nominates a charity for which we raise funds. This year President Linda Parish has chosen Home-Start.
