Peterborough Lions Club are pleased to welcome Lion Deborah to the club, under the guidance of her sponsor, Past Lion President Robert. Deborah was inducted into the club at the May business meeting.
We’re sure Deborah will be a valuable asset to the club.
We’re proud to announce the launch of a new fund-raising website for Peterborough Lions. Called “Lions’ Share”, it simply acts a a gateway to dozens of well known websites where if you then buy something, a share of the sale comes back to Peterborough Lions to use to support our projects. It doesn’t cost you anything extra, and you don’t have to give us any personal or credit card details – you still buy from directly the shops websites as usual. In some cases you can even reserve items to collect from your nearest store, paying in store as usual, and we still get a share of the sale value!
Take a look at the Lions’ Share website at www.lions-share.org.uk for more information, or jump straight to the list of all the current suppliers you can buy from through Lions’ Share – a list that’s growing all the time!
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):
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!)
Peterborough Lions Race Night will take place on February 25th at The Power League – very much in hand thanks to Lion Stuart picking up and running with it (excuse the pun!).
For more details see the Race Night Event Page
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!
All being well, Peterborough Lions carol float will be making an extra stop at Dobbies garden centre in Hampton, on the evening of Thursday 15th December – although the weather forecast is making it less than certain! If you can brave the weather, come and see us!
We’d like to thank Dobbies and all the other Peterborough stores who have allowed us to take up some valuable space outside their stores at this busy time of year.
The Mayor, Councillor Paula Thacker MBE, is to visit the Music and the Deaf’s fun session at Jack Hunt School on Saturday, 26th November.
The Mayor will be seeing first hand how Deaf and Partially Deaf Young People are learning to play musical instruments. The session takes place between 10:00 and 12:00 hrs, with the Mayor attending between 10:30 and 11:30 hrs.
The Music and the Deaf, Cambridgeshire Music and Britten Sinfonia are providing instrumental fun workshops with one to one tuition. The Deaf Young People will explore a range of musical instruments including an Indian Dhol drumming workshop.
Any child with a hearing loss age 8 and over is welcomed. Complete beginners are extremely welcome to come and learn to play any instrument they wish. To book a place at the instrument sessions, or to find out more, please contact Lin Heatherington, e-mail Tel 01480 373500
It is hoped that these sessions will lead Young Deaf People to join the East of England Deaf Youth Ensemble, a new cultural project for our city.
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!
