Lion Clive Nolan - Castleford & Pontefract District Lions Club Lion Eileen Sunderland - Bridlington Lions Club Lion Gary Shores - Hull Kingston Lions Club Lion Marianne Holmes - Selby District Lions Club Lion Robert Crowe - Wetherby District Lions Club District Almoner's ReviewFellow Members of The Lions Family it is with regret that I have to inform you that Lion Ric Lancaster of Garforth & District Lions Club passed on to Higher Service during November. A message of sympathy was sent, on behalf of The District, to Thelma. I am sure that he will be missed by all those who knew him and whose lives he touched in his Lionistic service over the years. A Get well card was also sent to Lion Albert Blackburn of Todmorden Lions Club, fortunately he did not have to have the scheduled operation on his ankle they are trying to solve the problem without surgery. A card was also sent to Lion Richard Lee of Driffield District Lions as he celebrated his 60years plus 10 birthday. During my time in Australia Lion Peter Wilson sent cards to P.C.C. Lion Bryan and L.P Margaret Riley for their Ruby Wedding Anniversary and also to P.I.D. Lion Phil Nathan and Lion Heidi congratulating them on the occasion of their marriage. I do like to be able to send greetings to Members of the Lions Family as they celebrate the good things in life, but I can only do this if you let me have all the details. Please keep me informed about anything to do with the welfare of our Lions Family. May I take this opportunity of wishing each and every one of you a Very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful 2010.

Road to SafetyThe Road to Safety manual can be downloaded from the British and Irsih Lions website. Share the Love.......is an event organised by two young lady Members of Leeds Skyrack Lions Club with the help of their friends! This was held on 11th February 2010 at the Sky Lounge of the City Inn, one of the most prestigious venues in central Leeds. The organisers had approached various businesses and acquired a number of very attractive donations of prizes for which raffle tickets had been sold prior to the event. Amongst the prizes were: ‟Hospitality for 2 in a box at Old Trafford‟ and „A box for 6 people at the Lowry‟ plus many more. This is an extremely worthwhile event in improving visibility of the Lions amongst a „new‟ generation which we need to attract to ensure the continuation of the Lions movement. There was an additional benefit that the event raised some £850 for Lions charities. Leeds Skyrack recognises the hard work which has been necessary in setting up this event which reaches out to a fresh audience. Our sincere thanks to Lions Anna Jackson and Rosy Ide together with the support of prospective Member Rachel Forbes and other friends. Lion Roy Dilcock Operation FriendshipWhat a super Lions programme this is, for those of you who may not have heard of it, let me give you a little insight into it. Malcolm and I saw the advert in The Lion and decided to send in an application to take part, once we had been accepted all we had to do was book flights to Australia and make our way to District 201.V6 N.S.W. We were met by 3 Lions from the District and their wives and within 15minutes of meeting them we felt we had known them a lifetime. We were hosted by the Lions for two weeks and during this time we attended two Club meetings and their District Convention, (it was here that I had to do a little presentation - it seemed to go down well). We were most impressed with the Convention, it was held in a large community hall, not in big expensive hotels, no all singing, dancing, state of the art gizmos - just all very down to earth and at a most reasonable cost (tea and coffee all day AT NO CHARGE). At the end of Convention we were taken to Melbourne by the parents of one of our former Youth Exchange Students. We hosted Tanya in 2002 - and it was great to catch up with her and see how well she is getting along, it was also good to meet her parents. All the Lions we met were extremely friendly and we feel that we have made many new friends. At the end of the two weeks we took off on our own and managed to get to meet up with another two more Exchange students, this time it was 18 years since we hosted them - we were invited to stay with them for a couple of nights and this gave us chance to catch up with what they had been doing during the intervening years. Tammy lives in Canberra and Angela lives just north of Sydney. None of this would have been possible had we not had the opportunity taking part in Operation Friendship. Adverts will be appearing very soon in The Lion, I am sure, maybe next year could be your turn.
