Every year Retford Lions Club attempt to bring new fundraising events to the town and are always grateful of the support given as this enables the Lions to help those in need. On Saturday 21st September at 7.00pm, they are again hoping for support when they bring one of the best brass bands in the country for a concert they are calling ‘Last Night of the Proms’. They encourage you to go along and wave your flags to some wonderful anthems for a great night out. The performance will be held at Retford Town Hall and tickets cost just £12.00. You can buy your tickets from Robert on 07815 473802 or online at www.wegottickets.com.
At a luncheon held at the West Retford Hotel, the Club’s new President, Maureen Lily, was sworn in for her one year term. All of the Lions wish her well for her new term.
On 10th July Lions welcomed players from all parts of the UK to their Annual Ted Waterfield Memorial Golf Day. As usual the event was organised by Lion Pete Masters with assistance from the staff of Retford Golf Club. This year they are donating money raised to Bassetlaw Hospice and Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.
