NEWLY elected President, Sue Basden, has been a member of Hereford Wye Valley Inner Wheel for nearly five years. She moved to Hereford from Tonbridge, Kent where she was a member of Ladies Circle and Tangent. She is also a member of Almeley WI.

Sue is married to Kevin who was a keen Round Tabler in Kent and is now a Rotarian in the City of Hereford Club. They have two children, Richard and Cathryn. Their son has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and they are very proud of both their children who have had to cope with having a disability in the family. Sue works full time in her dream job which means that she has a busy life. She enjoys walking their golden retriever Bailey and all forms of craft.

Sue has planned a very enjoyable programme for her year including talks on the A – Z of de-cluttering, a pamper evening and a breakfast party.

Her charity for the year is the very local ELY Memorial Fund, which provides support for families in Herefordshire struggling to cope with funeral expenses for the young who die in road accidents.
