NEWSFLASH
We are growing! In October we welcomed 2 new members - Marj and Brian Pepper. Both have extensive experience in service having been in volved with Scouts for many years.
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 :-
- BBQ - Cottage by the Sea Fete.
- Lions Skin Cancer Screening van
- Good Friday - Royal Childrens Hospital appeal
- 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
- We also support many Lions Clubs Foundations
