The Lions Club of Winchelsea

• 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.
  

October is Breast Cancer Month, and the Winchelsea Lions Club will be holding their annual "Walk To Wurdale" to raise funds for Breast Cancer Australia.

Walk To Wurdale in 2011 will take place on Sunday October 23rd, starting at the Winchelsea Senior Citizens in Harding Street at 10am. All monies raised go to support breast cancer, everyone is requested to get their pink walking gear organised to put on a good show! This will be a family day, and you can walk, run, ride a bike or horse, or travel on your gopher.

At the other end, there will be a barbecue, horse rides, Dan The Magic Man, music, face painting and other entertainment.

A great day out for a great cause. Further details will be published soon in the Winchelsea Star.
