Lions News Roundup - May 2012

  • Winchelsea Lions Club over the years have contributed greatly to the park along the Barwon River in Winchelsea - further to recent plans by Surf Coast Shire to (re)name the park to Stirling Park, the Lions Club have submitted to the shire that it be named "Lions Park" instead. A suggestion has been made that the bluestone bridge be named Stirling Bridge, as it is destined to be for pedestrian only.
  • A major project has been decided for the Winchelsea Lions Club, namely the construction of netball change rooms.  A subcommittee is to be formed to direct the project. Local company High Tide recently constructed change rooms at Geelong's Queens Park, and based on this the project could be for a total of around $120,000.
  • 24 tonnes recycled paper has just been dispatched by truck.
  • A V2 District Lions promotion trailer is being put together for use by any club in the District, for the promotion of Lions in general. Winchelsea Lions Club supported the endeavour with a donation.
  • Make A Wish will again be holding their Melbourne-Portland fundraising walk, passing through Winchelsea on 25 July make a wish coming thru Winch, as last year they'll be seeking accommodation overnight.
