Thorne Lions have had a busy fruitful year taking part, and organising various activities. The Summer Walk took place again starting on Town Moor on May 14. All proceeds were for “Parkinson’s Doncaster Support Group.

A cheque for £3,387.98 was presented to them.

A Lion’s Fun and Sports Day was organised with other Lions groups on Saturday 12th August. This is for all people with a disability and is extremely popular. The participants are so enthusiastic and take part in all the activities.

They were so pleased when it was resurrected after Covid. The venue was changed and this year Parkland Sports and Social Club on Wheatley Hall Road was used.

One of the staple fundraisers has been coffee mornings. These take place either in Hatfield Library or in The Barn, behind the Bay Horse, every few months.

Now it is one of the busiest parts of the year for the Lionss. The sleigh has to be checked over to make sure it is roadworthy, as it will be used most days in the month of December.

A spokesman said: “We were certainly very popular when the sleigh was back on the road. It will be manned by Lions members giving their support to Father Christmas. We will be carrying a card reader for your convenience, you just have to ask.

"The Toy Appeal is another of our activities collecting toy and gift donations to help local families. It is probably more important this year to help families. Please don’t forget the older children. There are many drop off points. More details can be found on our Facebook site.”
