Billingshurst Lions say ‘Thank You’

New Easter Prize Draw A Great Success

Billingshurst & District Lions Club would like to thank everyone
for their enthusiastic contribution towards making this
year’s Easter Prize Draw a resounding success.
In place of the traditional solitary Chocolate Egg,
the prize featured a “Hamper for Sharing”,
which included various sizes of eggs and a selection of chocolate bars,
something for all the family to share and enjoy.

 In particular Billingshurst Lions would like to thank the 10 participating venues who made it all possible by prominently displaying the Hampers
and collecting the proceeds.

In Billingshurst these included:-

1. Billingshurst Community Centre,
2. The Kings Arms,
3. The Kings Head,
4. Leonardo’s Barbers in Jengers Mead

Whilst others were:-

1. Barns Green Village Store,
2. The Foresters at Kirdford,
3. The Onslow Arms at Loxwood,
4. Slinfold Golf & Country Club and
5. The Bat & Ball at Wisborough Green.

Organised by the Lions FUNdraising Committee,
all proceeds will be used to provide financial
and practical support where needed throughout the community.

Lions Charity Golf Day

Also a special “thank you” to all the Golfers, Slinfold Golf & Country Club, Sponsors and to all those who donated prizes for ensuring another successful day raising funds this year for the Charity, “Service by Emergency Rider Volunteers” SERV, often known as “The Blood Runners”, all volunteers providing free essential out of hours services for the NHS.

 Finally, Thank You to those who “Feed the Lions”.

We are led to believe that coins are going out of fashion!
But this isn’t the case with Billingshurst Lions.
Feed the Lions collecting jars are still very much in fashion.
With over 100 Jars out in the community
we look forward to seeing you in the bookshop again soon,
where you can exchange your full jars
for an empty replacement and enjoy browsing the bookshelves.
