SOUTH SOMERSET NEWS: Lions Club is a roaring success for charity

ILMINSTER Lions Club came up trumps for charity on Saturday (May 24, 2014) when it handed out cheques worth £1,350.

The cheques were presented during the club’s annual summer fete at Swanmead CommunityS chool in Ilminster.

The club president Roger Taylor presented Simone Joyce, of BIBIC, with a cheque for £1,000.

A further £250 was given to Sue Spurway and Gill Dunn who are raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Sue and Gill, who both live in Ilminster, will be aiming to conquer Ben Nevis in Scotland at night-time, lit only by the moon and torchlight on July 5, 2014.

The expedition to Britain’s highest peak is being organised by the Alzheimer’s Society and the Ilminster Lions Club was only too pleased to support the fundraising sisters.

Anyone wanting to sponsor the pair can do so via their online fundraising page at www.justgiving.com/Gillian-Susan.

Ilminster Brownies were also a beneficiary of the Ilminster Lions’ generosity on Saturday when Mr Taylor presented some of their members with a cheque for £100.
