2025
This page is a summary of the main activities that the club has undertaken. There are other activities and events that are conducted in the "background" as well as those listed.
Show'n'Shine - February, 2025
We acknowledge and than the generosity of the Geelong Rodders Club with this project.
It is our major source of income for the yerar and would not be possible without this event.
It is a big day that brings thousands of people to the town of Queenscliff and the whole community benefits.
The cars on display are always amazing.
Bottle & Cans recycling (ongoing)
This is a great fundraiser for our club in association with the Queenscliff Golf Club.
The golf club does not have "on tap" service of drinks, so all drinks are sold in bottles and cans.
The club puts out bins in the clubhouse and around the course and brings all containers to the clubhouse. We collect them from there and take them to the mass recycling centre in Breakwater for recycling.
There are 3 major benefits:-
1. We are helping the environment as these cans & bottles would otherwise go to landfill.
2. It is a good fundraiser for our service activities.
3. It is saving the golf club with its volume of hard waste. They need less trips to the Rubbish tip - which saves them money.
With our small membershiop, we have had some outside assistance from volunters and we thank them all.

LEHP - Pt Lonsdale Primary School
In early September we conducted the Lions Eye Health Project (LEHP) at Pt Lonsdale Primary School. We tested 72 students at the school in 4 areas:
1. Eye Chart (with shapes - not letters of numbers)
2, Colour perception
3. Depth perception (ie 3D vision)
4. Used a specialised camera to take photos of the students' eyes.
The results are assessed and any issues noted are referred back to the parents/carers with a recommendation to seek further opionions from an Eye Specialist.
We do not undetake diagnosis or give opions on the results.
We found that 17 students needed further attention, so it is up to the parents/carers to decide what action they want to undetake.
