The annual
Dinner and Dance celebrating the 27th Charter Anniversary of the
Club was held at the Centurion Hotel, Midsomer Norton on the 2nd
April.
Started in 1977, the Lions motto, "Ordinary People doing
Amazing Things" was very evident in the proceedings.
President Robert Briggs welcomed guests, District Governor 105W,
Brian Dawson, Dr Samantha Briggs, Past President, Rota-Serv and
Rotary President Jon Redmond-Lyon. The clubs own incoming
District Governor, Alan Denham, together with all their Ladies,
completed the top table.
Proceedings commenced with Club President Robert outlining the
activities with thanks to the teamwork of all committees. The
disabled and senior citizens featured strongly in the events,
together with collections of spectacles, mobile phones, stamps
and foreign coins raising monies for Lions International
Charities. Events would not be as successful as they are without
the continued support and hard work of the Lions Ladies. Tom
Huyton Play Park Appeal has been to the fore of all members and
the money raised will purchase specialist play equipment. Thanks
are given to all who have helped in this project and to the local
public who have made this successful. Finally, congratulations
were given to the Clubs Secretary, Alan Denham, who has been
elected District Governor 105W for 2004-2005. District Governor,
Brian Dawson responded, speaking on the success of the club, its
activities and growing membership.
The toast, "Our Ladies and Guests" was proposed by Vice
President, John Whittock. Dr. Samantha Briggs responded on behalf
of the Ladies and Guests.
Master of Ceremonies was lion Phil Hathway and the evening
continued with Dancing to Val Ross.
