 The
Lions Club of Tavistock was formed in 1976 by a nucleus of around 12
people most of whom were employed by the then West Devon District
Council. Membership, which now stands at 39 people (both male and female
from all walks of life), is by invitation only. The lower age limit is
18 with no upper limit.
The principal activity of the club is to raise money within the local community for distribution to needy causes locally, nationally and internationally. The Lions Club of Tavistock has a formally registered charity with the Charity Commission (Charity No. 1128788). Tavistock Lions meet at the Community Football Club in Tavistock. The general club meetings are held at 7.30pm on the second Monday of every month and this is preceded on the same night by the Directors meeting at 6.30pm. The Board of Directors is made up of the principal officers of the club namely the President, Vice Presidents of which there can be 3, the immediate past President, the secretary, treasurer, community service, membership, social and activities chairmen and the press officer. The Activities committee meets on the third Monday of the month and the Community Services committee on the fourth Monday currently at the West Devon Club.
