Welcome to the website of the Lions Club of Tavistock, in the heart of the South West of England
Our club is part of Lions Clubs International (see the 'What's a Lion' page) and our primary aim is to raise and distribute funds within our local area. This website contains lots of information about the club, our activities and also details of forthcoming events and who to contact for further information.
Our Next Event: Christmas Trees of Light
This was started in 1999 when the club agreed with Tavistock Town Council to erect a large Christmas Tree on the front of the Town Hall which would be covered in lights sponsored by members of the public in memory of
departed love ones.
Over £50,000 has been collected todate. It has become so popular that the number of trees has been increased to three to cater for all the light bulbs.
With the Lions Club of Tavistock now being a registered charity, Gift Aid became applicable from the 2009 Trees of Light onwards. Further details will appear in the event's publicity of this change, which will help us raise even more for our nominated charities!
For further details of how you can donate towards the the 2011 Trees of Light, contact our Press Officer, Steve Grummitt, on 0845 8334807. |
