The Inner Wheel Club of Bourne was chartered in 1991 and currently has 21 members. They meet on the second Monday of the month (except August) at The Bull Inn, Rippingale, a small village north of Bourne at 7.30pm. President for 2008/9 is Kay Bower..

Bourne dates back to Saxon times, lying between edge of the old forest of Rockingham and the Fens.. Set in agricultural Lincolnshire, Bourne is twinned with Doudeville in Normandy, France.

One of Bourne’s claims to fame rests with the BRM racing cars which were built here. Graham Hill won his Formula 1 Grand Prix World Championship in 1962 driving a BRM.

Another famous son of Bourne is Charles Ferderick Worth, founder of the Paris fashion house, who was born in Wake House on North Street on 13 October 1825.

The achievements of both of these men are featured in the excellent little museum at Baldock’s Mill, South Street, Bourne.
