We're Recycling for the Environment
Our reducing and aging membership is forcing us to look at a range of recycling initiatives which helps us meet some of the major environmental objectives which Lions worldwide is actively promoting amongst clubs but which are not too physical. These are relatively 'resource' sympathetic and most of our residents will be able to support us on one or more of them. Have a look at what we are doing and how you can help us by clicking here.

Pillars of the Community Curry Night
Following a very successful initial offering, we planned on running a repeat in July. Unfortunately, sales were such that we were forced to cancel it at very short notice so apologies to anyone who had booked in with the 4 Pillars.
Motorama 2023
Motorama was back in town on 11th June when we had almost 100 classic vehicles joining us for this Annual Event run by the Lions club with support from Olney Classic Car club and our Friends of Lions. Get more details, look at some photos of past events by clicking here. Our event was fully subscribed and we trialled an on-line booking form which was pretty successful. Keep an eye on our website in the New Year if you would like to join us in 2024.
Our Lions Toast
12th May 2023 saw almost 40 people tasting some expressions of a Malt whisky from a distillery which only opened in 2014 but which has launched its flagship to tremendous acclaim, picking up some early awards.
The distilleries name? Malt & Honey
Where is it located? Tel Aviv in Israel
At the 2023 World Whisky Awards, one of the M&H expressions - "Elements" a Sherry Cask whisky was declared the "Whisky of the Year for 2023", an amazing feat for such a new distillery and we were fortunate to be able to taste it and 5 other including one whisky which was aged in a Pomegranate cask - very unusual.

It all started in 1977!
The existing members knew we were founded in 1977, but what did the newly formed club do in it's first year? A phone call received 'out of the blue' led to us receiving a photo album containing the first years record. Click on the graphic above to see it.
When our activities were constrained by the Pandemic, we had a look though our photo album and have brought together a selection of photos showing some of the events we have been involved in during the lifetime of the club.
Why not take a browse through them and see if you recognise any of the faces from the past.
If you happen to have any photos which includes Lions, why not send a copy to us and we will see if we can add it to the collection. Simply email a jpg version to nponleylions@gmail.com.
