Canterbury Inner Wheel Club

About our Club

We meet at Littlebourne Village Hall (CT3 1ST ) usually on 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 10.00am (except August) and at other times by arrangement. Our membership currently stands at 38.

The main focus of fundraising each year is the President's chosen charity. In addition the Club supports the District and Association selected charities, and a range of local and overseas causes**.

Representatives from the Club attend District Meetings three times a year and the Inner Wheel Association Conference (Bournemouth in March 2018).

Membership: Membership of Inner Wheel is open to the following:
Women related to Inner Wheel members or former Inner Wheel members

Women related to Rotarians or former Rotarians

However, since the IIW Convention in Istanbul we are able to offer membership by invitation to other ladies sharing our aims and objects, provided the majority of club members agree.

For more information on how to join this Club please contact Membership Officer Valerie.

For general information please use the 'Contact Us' page.
