It is estimated that over
£250,000 has been raised since the formation of the club in 1976
with donations being made to organisations such as the local
colleges, schools and pre-school groups and youth organisations such
as the Scouts, Guides and junior football and cricket clubs.
Much work has also been
done over the years with the blind such as establishing glaucoma
screening clinics in third world countries and providing spectacles
made up from recycled lenses that are no longer required by the
original wearer. The Lions introduced the familiar white sticks
carried by some blind people and the Tavistock Lions Club have also
financed 4 guide dogs for use in the local community.
Tavistock Lions meet at the Union Inn,
Tavistock with the kind permission of Francis Jasper, the Landlord.
The general club meetings are held at 7.30pm on the second Monday of
every month and the Directors meet at the same venue on the first
Monday. 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.
