Melksham Lions: Our History



Formed in 1973, Melksham Lions were Chartered in 1974.

The Charter President was Lion Stuart Beese, still a very active member and is seen here presenting a cheque to the Wiltshire Air Ambulance

The current President, Peter Dauncey (right) having just taken over from Simon white, is looking forward to a busy year with several projects and events already in mind.


In addition to a continuing commitment to the Air Ambulance and several other worthwhile projects, the Club has an ongoing interest in the Message in a Bottle scheme. This provides a system to ensure that ambulance services have access to information on individuals when they have cause to visit a vulnerable person in their home. Other ongoing support is given to Water Aid and also of course to many local deserving causes and cases of need.

'Fun?' we hear you ask... Yes!
We looked it up and it seems we do (it's official) have quite a lot of it.
