Last Wednesday evening Llangollen Inner Wheel were pleased to have as their guest speaker Judy Smith of Llangollen Round.
She told members how she got her first ideas of setting up the round when she had damaged her foot and was unable to walk.
With the help of her husband and her friend, Sandra Woodall, she got the first event off the ground.
This initial idea has grown from the first year raising a few hundred pounds for Cancer Research and being supported by local enthusiasts to this year raising more than £100,000 attracting participants from all over the country.
The planning and
running of the event is supported by many local companies and more then
100 volunteers, who man checkpoints, make cakes and help with catering
etc.
