__________________________________________________________

Melvin Jones Fellowship (MJF) Awards are given out to members by their fellow Club members in recognition of their outstanding service to both the Lions Club and the local community.

Pictured above with me are three of our members who it was felt were well deserving of such an award.

Due to some rather unforeseen circumstances it was not possible to make all three presentations at the same time.

It was my pleasure to present two of the three awards at our Christmas dinner held on 5th December 2017; these being to:

Simon White – a Charter member of Melksham Lions Club who has served the Club for over 44 years. During this time he has been President 8 times and is currently Chair of our activities committee.

Jim Whyborn – a Lion of over 14 years with the last 7 being with Melksham Lions Club. During his time with Melksham Lions he was President for 2 years and is currently Chair of our welfare committee.

It therefore gave me much pleasure at our meeting last night to present the third and final Melvin Jones Fellowship (MJF) Award to:

Cliff Terrell – a member of Melksham Lions Club for over 37 years. During this time he was President for a year – but most significantly Treasurer for 27 years.
