Membership

Membership of a Lions Club is generally by invitation.  Typically new members are drawn from friends, relations, work colleagues and neighbours but anyone can apply for consideration as a member. We encourage like minded people to contact us. 

Lions is always welcoming to like- minded people who would like to join the club after an introductory process. Leaflets such as ‘Who are the Lions?’ inform prospective members.

Anyone can apply to be considered for membership. The membership committee deals with such matters and the chairman of the committee will make contact, explain how the club functions and the commitments expected of a potential new member. Admission is ultimately by democratic vote of all members. Club policy is to rank a member’s priorities as family first, work second and Lions third – the club is therefore not too demanding of a member’s time.

Lions derive tremendous satisfaction and fun from being a member.  Raising charitable funds is very fulfilling with events such as bookshops, raffling Easter Eggs, Highland Gathering, dances and concerts.  But it is not all too serious – a social committee organises members’ events such as the Christmas Party (held in January!), annual Charter Night anniversary dinner dance, four Ladies’ and Guests nights per annum and an annual barbecue to celebrate the change of President every June.  Each year the social committee arranges different events such as walks combined with a pub lunch as well as visits to attractions. Visits have included dinner at the Houses of Parliament and tours of Bletchley Park and Tower Bridge. A popular event is an occasional club visit to Greyhound Racing.

If you are interested in enquiring about membership, please e-mail the Club Secretary or telephone the dedicated message service line: 0845 833 7426.
