CHANGEOVER
In June we held the Annual Changeover of Office Bearers.
We are very pleased that Maureen Thorpe has taken on the role as President. Maureen is a very experienced Lion having been the District Governor of our neighbouring District V1-4.
We thank Past President Kevin Flynn for the last 3 years as President. Kevin's time was difficult as it was largely during the covid years - and it after effect.
Like so many individuals, businesses and organisations around the world, the events of recent years have not been kind to us as a Lions Club.
The club was chartered in 1961 (see the "Early Club History" link), but was at risk of closing. In 2017, a number of new members joined and we are back in service.
Take a look at the "Our Recent years" link to see what we have been up to since our re-launch.
If you would like join us, please contact the President or Secretary - hit the "Contact Us" link.
We might be small in number, but we are a happy band.
Here is a sample of what we typically do in our local community :-
- Lions Skin Cancer Screening van
- The "Show and Shine" car event - a great event
- Donate Care Bears to our emergency services.
- Donations to schools and junior sporting clubs
- For the 3 Primary schools in the Borough
- Letters to Santa
- Peace Poster
- Lions Eye Health Project (LEHP)
- Junior Public Speaking
- Awards to students
- We also support many Lions Clubs Foundations
