At the February Business Meeting of the Peterborough Lions Club, the following names were drawn from the 65 returned “Money Matters” quiz leaflets with all answers correct (out of a total of 1129 quizzes returned):
- First Prize – P Guest; Nottingham
- Second Prize – R Hall; Peterborough
- Third Prize – J Holmes; Mereside, Huntingdon
- Fourth Prize – S Overton; Whittlesey
- Fifth Prize –
- B Lake; North Hykeham
- C Horton; Southgate, London
- S Wenlock; Peterborough
- J A North; Peterborough
- K O’Brian; Great Easton

So first prize goes outside the Peterborough area this time – better luck to the locals with this year’s quiz! If your name is above and you haven’t been contacted directly within the next few days please get in touch.
Congratulations to everyone above, and to all who bought quiz leaflets this year, whether or not you were able to complete them in full. We hope everyone enjoyed the quiz and look forward to entertaining everyone again later in 2012!
For those of us who needed a little help, the answers can be downloaded here, together with a reply coupon to use if you’d like to pre-order 2012 quiz leaflets (go on, you know you want to!)

Welcome to 2012!
This year promises to be a busy one, for the club in general and for the website in particular – stay tuned!
All the Peterborough Lions would like to thank the people of Peterborough and surrounding areas for your support over the past year, and for your donations, whether you saw us with Santa and his Carol Float in the past weeks, or bought a quiz leaflet, or any of the other ways we’ve been supported in 2011.
Rest assured all the money raised will be put to good uses (if it hasn’t already!), and be just as assured our fundraising efforts will be back in the New Year to provide resources for welfare and projects in 2012.
We hope you have a great Christmas! See you soon!
We now have a Facebook page! Thank to David Bainbridge for setting this up. Take a look at http://www.facebook.com/PeterboroughLions – it’s a little sparse at the moment but stay in touch!

Peterborough Lions had the pleasure of inducting the Mayor of Peterborough, Councillor Paula Thacker as an honorary Lion during her term of office (Paula’s term runs from mid May 2011 through to Mid May 2012). Prior to her induction as a club member, the Mayor had been welcomed as a guest of honour to our “Lions Showtime” event, and we hope to see mayor frequently over the course of her year in office.
Councillor Thacker is shown here with the outgoing Peterborough Club President, Lion Paul Browne, and the incoming president, Lion Gaby Sharman.

A selection of new photographs have been added to the site:
A great time was had last night by everyone who attended handover at Highgate Hall in Elton. Lion Gaby Sharman has now taken the responsibility of club president from outgoing president Lion Paul Browne, and the event was marked with fish and chip supper and a barn dance provided by Ock n Dough.
To the great embarrassment of all concerned, some photos are now online….
It was a bright sunny morning, with a cool breeze, when we met at the Materials Recycling Facility operated by leading recycling company Viridor at Fourth Drove, Peterborough.
