Despite us all being busy people, we are still able to avoid the hard work occasionally and enjoy ourselves along with our partners. So... below is a list of Social Events for our enjoyment during the coming months, and perhaps a note on some past occasions. Dates for some upcoming events may still need to be confirmed, but most will be on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Watch this space! MELKSHAM LIONS ARE LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS
Even if you feel you can only offer a small amount of time or resource, you will be very welcome. Many hands make light work, and a lot more fun. Please get in touch! 2010 JULY 20th (Tuesday) Presidential handover. A meal will be had at Melksham House to mark the presidential handover from Lion Simon White to Lion Peter Dauncey. MARCH 23rd (Tuesday) Another evening dinner excursion to The Greyhound in Bromham. An enjoyable evening had by all. FEBRUARY 23rd (Tuesday) Stephany Bardzil of Alzheimers Support gave us an extremely interesting and informative insight into the often debilitating condition of Alzheimers and other dementias. We also learned how Alzheimers Support work to help those suffering - and those supporting sufferers - to cope with the condition. Alzheimers Support don't just work with indiviuals, but also with groups. They are even embarking on sessions using song as therapy, which has proven to work wonders for dementia and stroke sufferers nationwide. It was a great revelation in many ways to hear what Stephany had to say, and a great comfort to know that such an organisation exists to provide so much help to those suffering from these conditions. If you would like more information about Alzheimers and other dementias, and the support offered by Alzheimers Support, please visit their website: www.alzheimerswiltshire.org.uk (or telephone 01225 776481). FEBRUARY 2nd (Tuesday) Our usual gathering, only this time we were pleased to welcome two Frome Lions - Lion Dave Allan and Lion Mike Geake - who had found us via this very website and asked to come along. Always nice to see some new faces, and all are welcome to return. So, how about YOU coming along to our next meeting then? JANUARY 26th (Tuesday) HOT NEWS! Volcanoes and earthquakes in Melksham! Another fascinating insight by Mr Lothar Respondek; this time a talk on volcanoes and earthquakes. The evening was well attended; most of our members came along with their partners, and we were pleased to welcome an esteemed member of the local WI. We hope more talks will be arranged in the future and we urge you to spread the word! 2009 NOVEMBER 24th (Tuesday) The club went out for a lovely meal at The Westbrook.
