Members of the Inner Wheel Club of Welshpool have held a double celebration to mark an extended birthday milestone and the advent of the Chinese New Year.
On 17 February, members gathered to pay tribute to Mrs. Olive Williams on her 90th birthday.
Mrs. Williams, the club's longest-serving member, was presented with flowers by the club's president, Wendy Beaven.
Congratulated for her long service to the club and community, Mrs. Williams' milestone was a hallmark event for all members.
The gathering doubled as a celebration of Chinese New Year, also known as the Year of the Horse.
Members, donning traditional red attire, joined Vice-President Mrs. Margaret Pepper in distributing red and gold gift envelopes - traditional tokens intended to usher in good luck with the arrival of the fire horse.
A short business meeting ended the festivities.
The club is now preparing for its next meeting on 18 March, to be held at the Royal Oak, which will be attended by the District Chairman.
In another update from the Rotary Club of Welshpool, the February business meeting took place on February 11.
The event, hosted at the Royal Oak Hotel and presided over by President B Rowell, saw members being briefed on the programme for the remainder of the president's term in office.
Members were also joined by Aggie Titley of Welshpool Town Council.
Titley briefed the members about the Community Fridge initiative, a project that was launched just days prior.
The Rotary Club’s next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 25, when they will welcome a representative from the Feathers Club.
