Lions thanks for Santa support

Spalding Lions Club recently paid thanks to all the organisations which had helped on their Christmas sleigh runs in the villages around Spalding during December.

The Cley Hall Hotel hosted Lion president Michele Elvin and Lion activities chairman Stuart East, thanked and presented cheques to representatives from Spalding Flower Parade, Pinchbeck Guides, SENSE, Donington Community Fire Station (Firefighters Charity), Flinders Founders, Phab, Moulton Harrox U15 Football club, LIVES, Tonic Health and Cowbit Rainbows and Brownies.

Stuart said: “The success in raising funds for local causes would not have been possible without their help.

“Also, a certificate of appreciation was presented to Nigel Gedney, a loyal supporter of Spalding Lions, who came out with us on every evening sleigh run.

“Nigel’s help, support and enthusiasm was invaluable to us.

“Spalding Lions would also like to thank our sponsors who helped to keep the sleigh running, and also Morrison’s and Sainsbury’s stores for allowing us to collect at their premises.”

Spalding Lions meet twice a month at Cley Hall and welcome new members. For more information visit the Facebook page ‘Spalding Lions Club’.
