THE Inner Wheel Club of Tranent and District has reflected on an exciting year as it hosted the first meeting of its new session.

Local charity speakers and a memorable gift made the evening into a special event at the Longniddry Inn on September 19. 

President Ros Stewart presented outgoing president Helen Kirkpatrick with a book containing photographs of her past year in office.

It was an especially exciting year as the club celebrated both its 40th birthday and the centenary of the Inner Wheel organisation.

Two representatives from Carefree Kids, based in Elphinstone, attended the meeting and explained the work involved in running the charity, which celebrates its 25th birthday this December. 

The club will support Carefree Kids as president Ros' charity of the year James Bruce and Paula Edmond, project manager, shared how the charity provided support for families across several areas, including home safety, school uniforms, baby and child first aid, and a toy library. 

The club meets in the Longniddry Inn at 6.30pm on the third Thursday of each month. Newcomers are encouraged to attend.
