Cake and a talk were enjoyed at an anniversary tea party to mark the 76th birthday of The Inner Wheel Club of Windsor and Eton.

The celebrations were held at the York Club in Windsor Great Park on Thursday, March 12.

President of the club, Jean Davis, welcomed more than 70 people, including members from the Windsor and Eton club, other Inner Wheel clubs and their guests.

Speaker Samantha Rayner, wife of 2012-13 Mayor of Windsor and Maidenhead Cllr Colin Rayner, told the audience about the trials and tribulations of being the mayoress.

A raffle was also held and more than £300 was raised for Inner Wheel charities.

Inner Wheel clubs are closely linked to Rotary Clubs.

They were originally set up for wives and daughters of Rotarians as before 1989, women were not allowed to join Rotary Clubs.
