Lion Stuart Asquith was presented with a gift from the Club as a thank you for his many years as secretary.

Donations were approved to Northleach Explorer Scouts for a first-aid kit, Kids For Kids (a charity to help the peoples of Darfur), Kate’s Home Nursing and Help for Heroes.

Our attendance at the Northleach Charter Fair was very successful. Over 150 balloons were released and prizes have been given to the ticket-holders and retrievers of the four balloons which went the farthest.

In order to achieve the Club’s aim of raising more funds for charitable purposes it was agreed to try to increase the membership by raising the public awareness of the Lions.

At a social meeting of the new Cirencester Branch of the Lions Club, the first members were badged-up. The Branch is now established and have plans for fund-raising. More members are welcome and should contact Wendy West, the co-ordinator, at wendywest@bigfoot.com for information.
Socially, a very enjoyable car treasure hunt was held in July. In August a BBQ is being held and in September there will be a visit to Chavenage House

The Club meets on the second Tuesday of each month for its business meeting. The venue is the Red Lion Inn in Northleach starting at 8pm. All interested are welcome to attend. The next meeting is on August 11th . For further information, the Club website is northleachandfosselions.org.uk or telephone 0845 8339825
