The Lions Club of Blackmore Vale is fairly typical of almost 1,000 Clubs in these Islands. We have a membership of around 20 comprising people from a wide range of professions. The Club was initially formed with 24 members in 1979, and was presented with its Charter on the the 1st June of that year.

We have an active programme of events which include: 

Our Sponsored Walk and Quiz which took place on Sunday October 1st 2006

These and our other events are generously supported by the population of this area and, thanks to them; to the dedication of our members and to the very positive support of our wonderful Lions Ladies; we pass on about £13,000 a year to those who need it most.

Our involvement in the local community can be summed up in a short sentence.
