Our Lions Toast
Our next Lions toast is on the drawing board and planned for November.
The hype around Whisky has seen the emergence of Scams galore along with genuine investment opportunities generating massive profits for sellers/investors. Our Whisky Enthusiast John, organiser of these events is planning to run a session on what
is driving this interest, the pitfalls, scams and successes of those who have made/lost significant sums
in what we are calling, “Investment Times”. We will also be running a “drink the dregs” evening when the remnants
of past events will be available along with an appropriate food course in our event which certainly can’t be described
as ‘pie in the sky!’ Should be an interesting and educational night!
If you would like us to keep you informed about this forthcoming (and future) event, please send us your contact details via our
contact us page and we will keep you in touch with developments.
We're Recycling for the Environment
Our reducing and aging membership is forcing us to look at a range of recycling initiatives which helps us meet some of the major environmental objectives which Lions worldwide is actively promoting amongst clubs but which are not too physical. These are relatively 'resource' sympathetic and most of our residents will be able to support us on one or more of them. Have a look at what we are doing and how you can help us by clicking here.

Pillars of the Community Curry Night
Following a very successful initial offering, we planned on running a repeat in July. Unfortunately, sales were such that we were forced to cancel it at very short notice so apologies to anyone who had booked in with the 4 Pillars.
Motorama 2023
Motorama was back in town on 11th June when we had almost 100 classic vehicles joining us for this Annual Event run by the Lions club with support from Olney Classic Car club and our Friends of Lions. Get more details, look at some photos of past events by clicking here. Our event was fully subscribed and we trialled an on-line booking form which was pretty successful. Keep an eye on our website in the New Year if you would like to join us in 2024.
It all started in 1977!
The existing members knew we were founded in 1977, but what did the newly formed club do in it's first year? A phone call received 'out of the blue' led to us receiving a photo album containing the first years record. Click on the graphic above to see it.
When our activities were constrained by the Pandemic, we had a look though our photo album and have brought together a selection of photos showing some of the events we have been involved in during the lifetime of the club.
Why not take a browse through them and see if you recognise any of the faces from the past.
If you happen to have any photos which includes Lions, why not send a copy to us and we will see if we can add it to the collection. Simply email a jpg version to nponleylions@gmail.com.
