Inner Wheel: Charity Ascot Ladies Day

Inner Wheel ‘Ascot Ladies Day’ Charity afternoon tea is graced by the presence of ‘the cardboard Queen’.

Westgate & Birchington Inner Wheel held an Ascot Ladies Day at our International Officer, Gill Condron’s home and garden in Birchington, to raise money for our International Charity ‘Women and Girls Livinguard Technology’. This important small charity provides sanitary essentials for children and women in the Third World, enabling women to work and girls to attend school. We were delighted to welcome ‘HM the Queen’ and ‘HRH Prince Philip’ who helped with pouring champagne and generally bestowed a regal ambience to Gill’s garden! Any lady who arrived without a hat was fined, as in true Ascot fashion, no lady is allowed into the Royal Enclosure without a hat!

Gill provided Champagne and Buck’s Fizz, and afternoon tea complete with scones, and strawberries and cream, and the sun shone brightly! It could not have been a more perfect afternoon! To enhance the occasion £400 was raised for our charity.

Inner Wheel is one of the largest women’s voluntary service organisation in the world. The objects of Inner Wheel are to promote true friendship, to encourage the ideals of personal service and to foster International understanding. We usually meet on the third Thursday of the month for a two-course meal at St Augustine’s in Westgate. Any like-minded lady who would like to be involved in ‘fun, friendship and fund-raising’ would be warmly welcomed at any of our meetings.
