Wetherby Lions

Do you know there are Lions across the world including a group in Wetherby, Thorp Arch, Walton and surrounds?

Wetherby District Lions are part of an international network and the largest service organisation in the world. Since they were founded in Chicago in 1917 the Lions have helped groups and individuals locally and across the globe. Residents of Thorp Arch and Walton may have met a Lion when you had your Covid vaccination, sitting on the newly refurbished benches on Harland way or at the Wetherby 10k run. This Christmas look out for the Lions as they accompany Santa and his sleigh through the local area. He can’t get to every house before Christmas but you will get a chance to meet him and the Lions at our famous Dickensian Market in Wetherby on the 12th December! Next year we hope will see the return of the January lunch for 200 senior citizens and the Great Yorkshire Bike Ride with Lions marshalling along the route. We couldn’t do this without a lot of support from local businesses and people like yourselves. A huge thank you to all of you! If you want to know more or take part do introduce yourself at one of our events or send an email to: secretary. wetherbylions@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you. And did you know… Wetherby Lions are one of 1,000 Lions Clubs in the UK. That’s a very big organisation! Have a great Christmas and best wishes for 2022.
