WELCOME TO THE THAME AND DISTRICT LION CLUB WEBSITE
WHO ARE THE LIONS?
The Lions Club is a volunteer organisation that meets the needs of local communities and the world. There are 1.35 million members in 206 countries. The geographic areas are different in many ways, but we all share a core belief that the community is what we make it.
The Thame Club was founded in 1977 and currently has 18 members of which 9 are male and 9 are female. We are aged from 34 upwards, from all different backgrounds, jobs, careers and professions.
Total raised since 1977 - £265,000 approx
We cover the following areas –
Thame * Bledlow * Bledlow Ridge * Chinnor * Haddenham * Kingsey * Long Crendon * Longwick * Princes Risborough * Sydenham * Tetsworth * Towersey * Watlington *
WHERE DO WE MEET?
The Lions Club of Thame meets at the Cross Keys in Thame every first and third Wednesday in the month, for an hour or so, we then normally retire to the public house to taste some very fine ales.
