Roary Takes to the High Street

Winner of the NWN Awards 2018 06/11/2018 Newbury Lions Annual Fireworks spectacular was named as the Best Regional Event of 2018, against some strong opposition. The judges were impressed with the drive and passion of our members who, despite falling membership, are determined to keep the event going for the benefit of the local community.

Presentation Evening 23/09/2018 Just before we rush headlong into Fireworks, we decided to have a bit of a do to thank those people who have supported us and to present some cheques. Lions Clubs International, to which we are affiliated, has just celebrated 100 years of service across the world and we were able to present some Centennial plaques and certificates.

Roary is feeling a little deflated 06/08/2018 Our mascot Roary is feeling a little deflated. He's not been out for a while and is missing meeting his fans. We are looking for someone to put the life back into Roary. Could that be you?
