Frequently
asked questions.
Who are the Lions?
|

|
The largest service club
organisation in the world with more than 1.4 million members in 196
countries. |
What would be expected of
me if I join a Lions club?
|

|
Ideally we would like you
to attend as many of our regular business and social meetings as you
can,
|
|

|
After that it is up to
you. The help we will require may vary from a couple of hours, an
evening or most of the day depending upon the event. We recognise that
many potential members are very busy people so all we ask is that you
turn up for whatever time you can reasonably afford to give. |
What are the costs of
becoming a Lion?
|

|
Members of our Club
currently pay subscriptions of £25 for 6 months. This is sufficient to
cover all our Administration Fees, Insurances and a bi-monthly magazine
which gives details of Lions activities within Great Britain and
Ireland. |
Why does the Lions Club
need new members?
|

|
It is inevitable that in
any organisation, members move on through work commitments or many other
reasons and they need to be replaced. New ideas and personalities are
the life blood of any forward -thinking organisation and new members
bring with them not only original ideas but fresh thought and outlook on
established events. |
|

|
Additionally, the present
members are convinced that with even one or two more members we could
once again begin to raise money by organising a range of challenging,
interesting and productive events.
|
How old must I be to
become a member of a Lions Club?
|

|
Members of Lions Clubs
must be at least 24 years old. |
How do I find out more
about lions?
|

|
The easiest way is to
accept our invitation to attend some club meetings for perhaps three of
four months. You will see how we operate, get to know us better, have
ample opportunity to ask questions and experience the satisfaction,
fellowship and fun to be derived from such involvement. We won’t expect
any payment or other commitment during this time, other than to cover
the cost of any meal at our Social meetings. Hopefully, having tried the
experience you will want to join us. |

You could also visit the
various web sites of Lions Clubs international that will deal with
International,
National
or
District
aspects of the
organisation. |
