A Message from the District 12 Chairman, Rosemarie Barnes

I have been a member of IW for over 30 years and made many friends, both in my own club and District, also when attending Conferences and Convention this year. I am passionate about Inner Wheel
The support we give each other is truly magnificent and particularly in my own Club of Gillingham where over the past year we have had several members, including myself, lose our husbands. We support and "are there" for each other.
My Charity ' Holding On Letting Go' is my choice for the support they give to children in bereavement and my reason for choosing was the result of my experiences as a Retired Community Nurse and Bereavement Counsellor.

I'm hoping that we will get many new members and continue to enjoy our Inner Wheel with Fun, Fellowship, Friendship and …. just a little food !!

Ditton Community Hall, where District 12 have all their meetings, International Rallies and Quiz afternoons is situated in Ditton, which is a long narrow Parish, where by the main residential area has been steadily developed since 1922, when Aylesford Paper Mill was established on the banks of the Medway, and its situated on either side of the main road. The Parish has farmland to the South and Industry to the North.

It is unique in that it boasts the only ford in the Tonbridge & Malling Borough which, along with the 15th Century Church, is situated in a Conservation area.
