Knowle and Dorridge Lions

You may be surprised to learn that Lapworth and surrounding villages are all in the Knowle & Dorridge Lions area. We welcome any enquiries for new members to join our thriving club and wish we could therefore extend our community service activities into the B94 area.

Many Lapworth area residents already take part in our successful fundraising events, which raised over £50,000 last year:

Annual fund raising events include:

The Lions Festive Walk from Baddesley Clinton house Between Christmas and New Year

Knowle Fun Run in May (2010 was its 27th year)

In July Summer Stroll & Picnic from Packwood house - a choice of 4, 7 or 10 miles

Solihull & Warwickshire Bikeathon also from Packwood on the same day - a choice of 10, 17 or 28 miles (in aid of Leukaemia Research in 2010)

If you would to take part, please visit our website www.KnowleandDorridgeLions.com or call Dave Carter on 01564 770749 for a chat.

You may be less aware of our community service, which includes:

• Supporting the elderly with an annual two coach trip and two annual afternoon teas and entertainment.
• Supporting youth with a Youth Travel Bursary which is awarded annually to one or two lucky young people between 16 & 25 years of age, and smaller individual motivational grants

Our social programme is wide and varied from formal dinners dances with our wives to a curry with the lads

We have 24 members, and meet at the Greswolde Hotel. Knowle at 8pm on the 3rd Monday every month.

Please note that you do not have to wait to be invited to find out more about Lions. We do not have an upper to lower age limit. You do not have to be a professional person, or indeed working at all. You will be made very welcome.
