A DORCHESTER woman celebrated her 98th birthday surrounded by friends and fellow members of Dorchester’s Inner Wheel.

Shelagh Aston has been a member of the group for 60 years and has been President of the organisation three times.

Inner Wheel correspondent Brenda Lucas said she received a present of wine and a birthday cake, and welcomed fellow members for tea and a chat. She said: “Shelagh likes to have a chat and she’s very active. Whenever there’s a regional event she always says she would like to come and it’s very nice to have her as part of the Inner Wheel. We would all like to pass on our best wishes to her on her birthday.”
