At the June Handover Dinner , Havant Lions President Howard Sherlock handed over the 2023-2024 Presidency to Lion Gordon Rhodes.
Gordon who is a retired Banker, has been a member of Lions clubs all over the world from The Cayman Islands to Guernsey and has been a Havant Lion for over 20 years. He has also held senior positions at both Club and District level in the UK.
One of his major passions is Classic Cars and he can be regularly seen at the Goodwood Shows.
Gordon knows that Havant Lions will be busy fundraising for the rest of this year, starting with their popular Bottle stall at the Emsworth Show in on August Bank Holiday. They are planning a day of PSA Testing for any male members of the public on 18 November in central Havant. Work is also beginning for the very popular Santa’s sleigh in the local areas in December. They finish the year with a bucket collection at the Havant Tesco. It must be remembered that all monies raised are put back into the community.
Havant Lions cover the Havant, Emsworth and Waterlooville areas and are always ready to welcome prospective members. Should anyone feel that they would like to join in and have fun whilst raising money for good local causes, please email ; Membership@havantlions.org.uk or secretary@havantlions.org.uk
