Inner Wheel in Ely has welcomed a new president at its annual meeting.

President Joy Hockey handed the chain of office to the new president Julia Smith.

Her charity for her year is Maggie’s Centres. This is a cancer support charity for sufferers and families.

A nearly full house attended the annual meeting of the Inner Wheel where officers gave their annual reports and agreed it had been a successful and enjoyable year raising a substantial sum for charities.

After the business meeting was concluded, refreshments were provided by the new president.

• The next meeting is July 25 which is known as president’s evening. The Inner Wheel Club of Ely formed in 1948 and is linked to the Rotary Club of Ely. The club usually meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month, excluding August, at the Old Dispensary, St Mary’s Street, Ely starting at 7.30pm. New members welcome.
