The Dog Show is Back on 21 September!
Remember Fun Day in the Meadows on 13 July, when the temperature reached 29C and it was just too hot for the annual dog show? We promised to re-run it when the weather was likely to be cooler.
The new date is Sunday 21 September in the Meadows. We will take entries from 1pm and start the judging at 2pm.
If you want to avoid the queues, we are going to take entries by email - dogs@tavistocklions.org.uk
Just give us your name, a mobile phone number, the dog's name and let us know which classes you want to enter. You can give us the money - £1.50 for each entry on the day.
We have the medals, the rosettes and masses of prizes, courtesy of Ron's Pets.
Funds Available now for Local Causes
Your money makes a difference!!! We have recently made donations of around £4,000 to local good causes and charities following the hugely successful Carnival and associated fundraising activities.
We don’t make donations to individuals, but If you belong to an organisation that is a Charity or a deserving cause, it is always worth asking if we can make a donation, especially if you have a special event or project. Contact us via email here: enquiries@tavistocklions.org.uk

After the Dog Show on 21 September, the next major event in the Club’s calendar will be the annual fireworks display on Saturday 1 November, which will again be held at Tavistock Community Football Club at Langsford Park. Also in November, Club members will be helping the Royal British Legion on Remembrance Sunday, ensuring that silence is maintained at 11am by controlling the local traffic.
The Club will be very busy in the run-up to Christmas! On Thursday 4 December at 7pm, the Club’s Trees of Light on the front of the Town Hall will be switched on, forming the much-photographed centrepiece of the town’s Christmas lights and raising money for four local well deserving charities. We'll be serving up our excellent burgers and hot dogs on Dickensian Evening on 5 December, and running the local Christmas postal service, which has proved to be very popular over the last five of years with around 3,500 cards being delivered by Club members in the Tavistock and Whitchurch areas during the week leading up to Christmas.
Santa will once again be out and about on his wonderful sleigh with members of the Club, visiting local schools and distributing gifts which will have been financed by a donation from Tavistock Athletic Club following its highly successful Town Relays and Fun Run held during Carnival Week. Santa will also be in the Square before Christmas helping Club members with their bucket collections so all in all, a busy time for the Lions Club of Tavistock before they take a well-earned rest building up their strength for an exciting 2026.
