Easter Raffle in Booths 23-24 March

Booths very kindly allowed us to do an Easter raffle again this year on Friday/Saturday 23/24 March.
We are very grateful to all those who contributed to the raffle which raised £577 over the two days.

Pancake Race on Moor 19 February 2012

The Friends of the Moor organised a pancake race for children of all ages on Sunday 19th February. It was a lovely sunny afternoon, albeit a bit chilly.
The Lions once again helped with the marshalling - fortunately this year we didn't get pressured into taking part in one of the races!!

Senior Citizens Variety Show 5 February 2012

Once again about 200 local Senior Citizens were entertained to an afternoon of music, comedy and dance at the Civic Centre in Knutsford. The Fish Lips Soup Big Band (shown above) proved extremely popular and received a standing ovation.
Other acts included the Star Choir and a local young Irish Dance group. To set the scene for the summer Olympics the Lions also arranged for an olympic torchbearer to do a quick race around the auditorium (more of a quiet jog actually!).
To complete the event a select group of Lion members - after weeks of preparation for the swimming olympics - performed their Synchronised Swimming routine. They have offered themselves to represent the UK and are nervously awaiting a response from the UK Committee (i.e. nervous in case they get selected - but probably little to worry about!!). The audience were suitably impressed anyway!
