History | Inner Wheel came to Turkey many years after its
arrival in neighbouring countries. |
The first club in Turkey was the Inner Wheel Club of Edirne which was founded in 1990. For the first time, after only 20 years in the Inner Wheel circle of clubs and districts, Istanbul will host the 15th Annual Convention in April 2012, providing what is expected to be an impetus to the growth of IW in Turkey. The members of Inner Wheel in Turkey have devoted themselves to work in reducing the abnormally high incidence of Spina Bifida in Turkey by promoting the pre-natal use of folic acid. Districts |
Our first
District, District 242 was founded in 1996 and is the home of
the first Inner Wheel club in the Country. | District 244 was formed in 2009. At 2010, District 242 hosted 8 clubs while District 244 was home to 6 clubs. Clubs | The first Inner Wheel club in Turkey, the IWC of Edirne,  between
Ankara and Istanbul, was founded on 29 May 1990.Then followed the IWC of Izmir (1990); IWC of Istanbul Dolmabahçe(1991); IWC of Konak (1992); IWC of İstanbul, Suadiye (1993); I.W.C of İstanbul Beyoğlu (1996); IWC of İstanbul Beyazıt (2001); IWC of Beylikdüzü (2002); IWC of Eskişehir (2004); IWC of Bursa Yıldırım Beyazıd (2006) and IWC of Gaziemir (2008). Turkish I.W. members have also founded IWC of Lefkoşa Sarayönü and IWC of Girne in north Cyprus. We hope that many more IWCs will be established in all parts of Turkey. In addition, two Inner Wheel Clubs have been formed in the northern (Turkish) section of Cyprus.
