Presidents Blog - November 2024
Welcome to Filey Lions website, my name is Ian Butler and I was recently given the honour of becoming our Club President for the next 12 months.
I hope many of you enjoyed the recent Bonfire event at West Avenue car park. Filey Lions have been organising this event for for over 40 years. These days, with the cost of Fireworks and to comply with all the regulations and safety requirements, the event costs the club almost £10,000.
Thank you for all the donations we received at the Bonfire, this goes a long way towards funding next years event.
To comply with Street Collection Permit regulations, we are required to publish on our Website how much we collected, this year it was a fantastic £3,352.51.
Thank you to the many 'Friends of Filey Lions' who assisted at the event, we could not do this without your help !
Onwards now to the Christmas TESCO Trolley dash, over 85's Christmas Party and Christmas Santa Sleigh runs. See you out there.
Lion President Ian.
