Martinborough Lions Report

October 13, 2023 October 2023 No Comments

The past couple of months have been buzzing with activity for the Martinborough Lions Club.

A brief recap of what we’ve been up to:

Predator Control Initiative

Our commitment to preserving the local ecosystem has been unwavering. Over the last few months, we’ve continued our predator control efforts, working to protect our native wildlife and maintain the natural balance in our beautiful region.

Movie & Pizza Night at Circus

We recently hosted an enjoyable movie night for members and partners. It was a fantastic opportunity for the club to come together, relax, and enjoy a great film – this time round it was Oppenheimer. We look forward to more movie nights in the future.

Guest Speaker Night

One of the highlights of our recent activities was an engaging speaker night with Kiri and James Elworthy who shared the history and tales of their remarkable venture, the Tora Coastal Walk, one of the longest standing private walks in New Zealand. The stories and insights captivated the audience and left all inspired.

Upcoming Events

We are gearing up for the 2024 Skyline Challenge Event, a major fundraising event for the club, with all profits going to a charity or community project. It’s a family-friendly event, designed to give participants of varying abilities a chance to experience the local Martinborough hills and farmlands while mountain-biking or cross-country running. Stay tuned for dates and more information.

Additionally, preparations are in full swing for our involvement in Toast Martinborough; and planning for our annual seniors’ Christmas Party is about to commence, which promises to be a heartwarming celebration.

Join Us!

The Lions Club is not just about these events; it’s about the spirit of community and the drive to make a positive impact. We welcome anyone interested in contributing to our community to consider becoming a member of our Lions Club family.

If you’d like to learn more about our club or are curious about what we do, please reach out to us:  David Kershaw 021625327 or email martinboroughlions@gmail.com

We’d be delighted to have you join us at one of our club nights to explore the possibilities of making a difference together.

Belinda, President Martinborough Lions
