We Remembered Them
Loddon Valley Lions were represented at wreath laying ceremonies at four locations in their area on Remembrance Sunday, 9th November. These were at Baughurst, Mortimer, Silchester and Tadley and at each one, a wreath was laid by a member of the Club in remembrance of all who went to higher service during two world wars and in conflicts of more recent times. We Remember Them.
Loddon Valley Lions Good Citizen Award
At 2014 Tadley Treacle Fair, Loddon Valley Lions were honoured to receive a 'Good Citizen Award' from Tadley Town Council. The Award was presented by Cllr David Leeks, Chairman of Tadley Town Council, in the presence of the Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane, Cllr Roger Gardiner. Cllr Leeks praised the public spirited work of The Lions in supporting the less fortunate in and around Tadley. The Treacle Fair was of course one of the ways used by the Lions to financially support their work. Cllr Leeks thanked the Lions for all they had done in the past and wished them every success in their future endeavours to support their local community. Our picture shows Loddon Valley Lions President, David Fowler, receiving the award from Cllr Leeks, on behalf of the Lions.
