Christchurch Host Lions Club
60 Years of Service
Our Club has been proudly serving Christchurch since 1959 and this year marks 60 years of working in our community.
Our Charter President Was W J Cowles, Still remembered today by all those who use the Cowles Stadium in Wainoni.
In July we welcomed PDG Marion McWha as our 53rd President.
Over the Years we have been involved in many interesting projects, but one of our most crazy was in 1966 - Lions against an ELEPHANT at tug a war
We would probably be in trouble for this today (We might have damaged the grass!). But we still know how to have some heavyweight fun!!
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
