VOLUNTEERS WANTED FOR THE LIONS DISABLED SPORTS DAY JULY 20TH.
“YOUR CLUB YOUR WAY”, BUT WE CAN ACHIEVE GREATER THINGS TOGETHER
For several years now, Lions Clubs in South Essex have come together to provide a Sports Day for Disabled people across the south of England. Various clubs for disabled send representatives to take part in various sporting activities including Archery, Javelin and table tennis. They come to a secondary School in Hadleigh, Essex on a Saturday in late July. They all get a badge for participating and the winners of the events receive a medal in a ceremony attended by local Dignitaries, including Local MPs as well as District Officers.
The event is run and financed by a collaboration of the Lions Clubs of Leigh-on-Sea; City of Southend; Eastwood; Castle Point and Rayleigh. Assistance is provided by other clubs across the District including our club, but we also have help from Rotary, Sea Cadets and others.
All volunteers agree that this fabulous event is worthwhile - just seeing the expressions on the faces of the participants. They get a light lunch and drink as well – so it is a proper day out for them to have fun.
This year, the event is booked for Saturday 20th July 2024. If you would like to help out, then contact one of the following: -
Tim Watts - tim@popup.plus.com, PDG Tony Prior - Anthony.t.prior@gmail.com - PDG George Harris - george.eileenharris@sky.com or Robyn Banks - districtdpo@gmail.com
