CLUB VISIT BY DISTRICT GOVERNOR

District Governor Lion James Mathers and Lion Ian Burt

Our District Governor Lion James Mathers and his wife Lion Gail from the St Austell Lions Club visited us for our January meeting.

He was able to present to Lion Ian Burt a 50 year service Certificate of Appreciation signed by our Patron Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Edinburgh and the current Council Chairman Lion David Pope.

Ian joined the Association as a Leo in Petersfield and took on a number of roles in the United Kingdom as a Leo before becoming a Lion in Petersfield and subsequently Dumbarton, Cheddar Vale, City of Wells and now Glastonbury and Street. During his time as a Leo he met his wife Lesley and also the signatory on his certificate, Lion David Pope.

The club congratulates Ian on attaining this milestone and we look forward to your continued contribution to Lions Clubs International.
