The
INTERNATIONAL INNER WHEEL
in NORWAY |
| History |
Inner Wheel came to Norway as a result of a
postal enquiry to Mrs Golding and as a result, the IWC Bergen in
was formed in 1935. Thereby, Norway became the first European
club representing only the second country in the world (after
Australia) to join the association.
As a result
of the war, it remained the only club in Europe until 1946 when
the Netherlands joined the association with its first club.
These
days, Norway is one of the most active Inner Wheel countries
with 5 districts and over 84 clubs.
