Lions Clubs International MD105 - Family Friendly Web Site Award

 

 
The Martlets Membership Drive

All members of our Club are all very friendly: we are a group of fun loving people who enjoy raising funds to help others. We have been dubbed 'Middle-aged Kids' by some.

Our current membership totals 44, including 2 Life Members, 2 Privileged Members and 1 Associate Member. The Club has enjoyed good numbers since its formation in 1955.

We have at present 16 female members, which is over one third of our current membership, and we welcome both sexes at our meetings.

We have 2 Life members who have served the community for very many years: our Charter President David Saunders who has 56 years in Lionism behind him and Harry Addison who is in his 55th year.

At the other end of the scale we have many members who have recently joined and they are, hopefully, the future of the Club. Over the last few years our membership has grown consistently and the Club's success has similarly increased.

We meet twice a month on Monday evenings. The first meeting is held on the 1st Monday which is a Dinner meeting. The second meeting is on the 3rd Monday which is a Business meeting where we submit reports, and consider requests for help or assistance and discuss the forthcoming activities of the Club.

All our meetings are jovial with a certain amount of friendly banter between members which is kept in check by our President.

The subscription to our Club is £50 per year - paid in two instalments in December and June - which covers the running costs of the Club and our dues to Lions District and Lions International. For just £1 a week you can be part of an International organisation which is the largest voluntary service organisation in the world.

If you feel this is the sort of organisation that you would like to be involved with then please contact the Membership Secretary to find out more, or to ask any questions that you may have regarding joining our fun loving Club.
