PONTELAND LIONS CLUB was founded in 1982 and serves the community by arranging fund raising events and using the money to support local people and organisations and some of the Lions’ projects overseas.  The club is a part of a worldwide organisation in 200 countries with headquarters in the United States.

This year Lion John Morris is president, taking over the post from the joint presidents, Anke Jackson and Muriel Sobo.

The Lions run a bookstall on the last Saturday of the month, except December, outside Waitrose.  Unwanted spectacles are also collected for recycling to poorer countries.  The Club takes less able people to the Panto, entertains the older members of the community and liases with the schools on a number of projects.

We meet on the second Wednesday of the month at the Ponteland Golf Club at 7.30pm and on the fourth Wednesday a variety of social events are planned for members, partners and friends.

The Ponteland Lions Club welcomes both men and women. Interested persons are invited to contact the secretary, John Morris on 0845 8339913 for more information.
