District 105C Young Ambassador FinalsThis year we had 3 candidates in the District Final held on Saturday 14th of January 2012. I wish to thank all those Lions, family and friends who supported the Young People. We had 60 people attending so thanks to you all once again. It was amazing listening to each Young Person talking about the amount of service they give to their local communities. The three Clubs who sponsored Young Ambassadors were Mexborough, Selby and Thorne Rural. My thanks to those Clubs. The Judges had great difficulty and spent a great deal of time on their deliberations deciding who would go forward to the Multiple District Final. Eventually they declared Daniel Newton (sponsored by Thorne Rural Lions Club) would represent District C.
Daniel receives his winners cheque from DG Ian Congratulations to Daniel and also Alicia Stringer sponsored by Mexborough Lions Club and Elizabeth Whitwood sponsored by Selby District Lions Club, both of whom are doing excellent service work. We wish Daniel an enjoyable and successful weekend at Dudley in February 2012. Fellow Lions start looking for a Young Ambassador for next year, NOW. P.D.G.

Region 5 Working Together Once AgainFor the third year running Clubs in Region 5 made a donation to The Humberside Police Lifestyle Project for 2011 – this year the amount was £2,500. This meant that two of the teams chosen to go on an Adventure weekend to Wales in 2012 were sponsored by The Lions of East Yorkshire. Representatives of the Clubs went to the Presentation night and all were amazed at what the young people managed to achieve during the Summer holidays. Teams of 4 – 6 work together on their chosen project during the holidays – the projects are many and varied but they all make a difference to the community and many of them echo what The Lions try to do – help those less fortunate than themselves. May I take this opportunity of thanking all the clubs in Region 5 for their generous donations in 2011 and I hope we can do just as well in 2012. Thank you, PDG Lion Eileen Smith International Youth ExchangeThe Lions Clubs from Leeds, Garforth and District, Leeds Skyrack, Otley and Knaresborough organize and fund a holiday exchange to Germany for up to 15 young physically disabled but mentally alert people aged between 18 and 30 years of age. All that the young people selected to go need is pocket money.

Five Nations Football tournamentRound two of the 5 Nations took place on 8th October with Tickhill beating Wiggington ( York Minster ) 3-0 on a wet and miserable day. The District 105CFinal took place on 9th November between Tickhill and Selby. With both teams having a full fixture list the match was played at Harworth Sports Club under floodlight, a real treat for both teams. Tickhill ran out rather easy winners 9-0 with J.Reasbeck scoring a hat trick. Selby to their credit kept their heads up and battled to the end. Both teams enjoyed hot dogs and chips after the game.  District Governor Ian along with the jubilant winners Tickhill will now represent District 105C and play the winners of District 105E next. We wish them the best of luck.
