Where do we meet?
Aberfeldy and District Inner Wheel is part of Inner Wheel District 1, and we meet at the Horizon Room, Town Hall, Aberfeldy. Meetings are held at 6.30pm on the last Wesdnesday of every month. No formal meetings are held in July & August but coffee mornings, social events and funraising events continue throughout the year.
This impressive photo below was taken by DC Jean on her travels to visit Aberfeldy Club. In the photo is General Wade’s Bridge (built in 1733) across the River Tay and also the Black Watch Memorial.
Our Club
Aberfeldy and District is one of the youngest clubs in our District. It was first chartered in 1990. We currently have 17 members. As well as the monthly meetings members enjoy coffee mornings in members’ homes, regular walks and outings as well as fundraising for local and international projects. Recently we have collected generous amounts of food for our Community Larder and supported Rotary’s concert for SCAA and with their annual Thrift Shop. We are also helpers at the Aberfeldy Show, the Highland Games and the Sports Festival.

District Chairman Visit
DC Jean visited Aberfeldy Club on 30th October and was hosted by MOC Diana Taylor. Jean is with President Yvonne in photo below. The main purpose of visiting is to get to know members and provide a short talk. The second photo below see Jean with her host Member of Council (MOC) Diana Taylor.
In the new venue members assist with the washing up but that can be a time of fun and friendship too. In the photo above are (ltoR) Christine Munro, Kathy Pearson, Liz Bruce, Betty Lea and Ailsa McPherson.
Club Projects
At our last ‘ordinary’ meeting of the year we collected goodies for the Community Larder to distribute to people in our area who are struggling with poverty.
