New President for 2010
Tuesday July 20th 2010 saw the official hand over of the Presidential role within Melksham Lions.
A dinner to mark the occasion was held at Melksham House where Lion Simon White passed the baton to Lion Peter Dauncey for the next two years. Many thanks go to Simon for all his work over the last two years and we look forward to the next term of office with Peter in the chair.

In Memory of Lion Ken Haschka
On Sunday 29th November 2009 Lions Members and partners, together with family and friends of the late Ken Haschka gathered in the grounds of Melksham House to dedicate and place a seat in his memory. Lion Ken Haschka passed away in March 2009 after a long period of illness.
Ken and his wife Chris, who has successfully taken on the role of Social Secretary, were both members of the Melksham Lions Club and in his dedication, Simon explained that although Ken had been a member for only a few years, he had been completely dedicated to the organisation; working very hard at arranging fund raising events for the local community. After his speech, everyone raised a glass as a toast to Ken. The seat will be overlooking the Bowling green.
Although the Melksham Lions Club has been going since 1973, Ken and Chris were the first couple to both become members. This has been most successful and we hope that many more 'teams' will follow suit! If anyone is considering joining, or, indeed, requires information about the Club please get in touch!
