We are carefully moving on and organising Covid safe meetings, outings and fundraising events.
We have recently been on walking Treasure Hunts in Dorchester on Thames and discovered the beauty of South Stoke in Oxfordshire.
We enjoyed pub and barbecue lunches and raised monies to support The Cowshed, the crisis charity that provides clothing and other items for individuals and families in Berkshire experiencing hardship. We are also sewing, knitting and crafting for them.
The biannual Reading Art Fair took place at Leighton Park School over the last weekend of October. This was our fundraising event for the RBH Staff Wellbeing Centre in Reading.
Many months of planning by the Rotary and Inner Wheel Clubs of Reading Maiden Erlegh paid off and there were more than 350 exhibits and the event was well supported.
Inner Wheel ladies prepared appetising canapes which were served at the Preview Evening on Friday and ran the café over the weekend serving home-made sandwiches and cakes. An enjoyable weekend was had by all.
We enjoyed the Shinfield Players recent production of Music Box, songs from the Musicals. The proceeds also benefited the RBH Fund.
We love clearing autumn leaves at Camp Mohawk and there will be plenty in November for us to tackle with our Rotarians.
Our annual Inner Wheel Bridge Charity Tea for Alexander Devine will take place on Friday, November 26, at Charvil Village Hall. If there are any bridge players who would like to bring a team please contact us.
December will be spent helping Rotary in the Covid safe grotto at Hare Hatch Sheeplands on the A4 at Twyford.
The Cowshed and local charities will benefit from every visit to see Santa and his Elf. Please book on www.harehatchsheeplands.co.uk/santa where you will find available dates and times.
We meet at Sonning Golf Club on the third Thursday evening of every month and we welcome new members to our organisation to join in the fun, take part in our activities, raise funds for charity and support our local community.
