Melksham Lions: Social

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 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!

WHY NOT JOIN US? NEW MEMBERS ALWAYS WELCOME
We are a small club and new members are always welcome. 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!

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