Dursley Lioness Club
Dursley
Lioness Club is part of Lions Clubs International but Lioness Clubs in England
have their own national chairman and operate under their own rules while still
fitting in with the Lions constitution. Dursley Lioness Club has 16
members who aim to have fun and enjoy friendship while serving the needs of
their local community and the wider world.
Recent activities have ranged from giving cuddly cubs to the local
ambulance station to comfort children in distress, raising money for a hospice
catering for teenage cancer sufferers, presenting equipment to the childrens
ward of a hospital, and donating a defibrillator to a community medical
practice.
Lionesses Su Wagner and Lesley Guy make
friends with Dolly the cow. Where Dolly dropped her "dollop" decided who
won the ?100 cash prize in the competition to raise money for the Teenage Cancer
Trust.
Annually the Lionesses organise sales of donated and own-grown plants and
are well known for their Christmas hamper raffle, the proceeds of which go to
local charities.
Lionesses raised money for
charity with their successful hamper raffle at Christmas.
If you are interested in joining the Lionesses, the club meets formally
on the first Wednesday in the month at the Lion's Den in May Lane, Dursley,
opposite the library, and informally usually on the third Wednesday at
8pm.
