Sparks must have been flying off the knitting needles of Ann Way, member of the Inner Wheel Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh as, with some help from fellow member Gerry Luckhurst, she succeeded in
knitting 100 baby hats for the maternity unit of the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
Why 100 hats? Because ‘100 for 100’ is an initiative to find unusual ways of celebrating this very special centenary year. The Inner Wheel organisation began in the UK in 1924 and is now one of the largest
organisations for women with over 100,000 members in more than 103 countries, with membership
open to all women since April 2012.
The Inner Wheel Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh meets at Sonning Golf Club on the third Thursday
evening of every month and welcomes new members to join in the fun, take part in activities, raise
funds for charity and support the local community.
