WHO ARE THE LIONS?
Being a Lion is Not all Hard Work
Lions enjoy each other’s company at lots of social activities, typically including sightseeing trips to London, lunches and dinners, our annual Charter lunch, and a garden party for our Presidential handover, theatre trips, and golf. We also join in various local events such as quizzes and events put on by other Lions Clubs, Rotary and RBWM.
