Who are The Lions? Press Cuttings

Our Lions Club was founded in 1973 and has been serving the local community ever since.

Click to enlarge Service activities have included:

Outings, parties and other events for the more vulnerable residents in the area;
Holidays for the disabled, both young and old;
Helping Father Christmas to tour our local streets, bringing pleasure to children and adults alike.
This has also raised funds to cover many of the service activities;
Purchasing much-needed equipment for local hospitals and schools;
Answering many appeals from individuals and organisations for help, both finance and manpower.

In addition we also run:

Car Boot Markets,
Quiz Nights,
Wine Tasting evenings
and many other fund raising events during the year.
