 Dawn breaks over Hadleigh Castle - At the heart of Castle Point Welcome to the Lions Club of Castle Point! The overall aim of Lions is summarised in the following, which is taken from Lions Code of Ethics: 'To aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy'. Local Lions Clubs are part of the world's largest such organisation, with more than 1.35 million members within 45,000 clubs, serving in 197 countries and geographical areas. The association is both non-political and non-sectarian. In Britain, our Patron is HRH The Countess of Wessex.  Most Lions Clubs have a membership of around twenty members, and Castle Point Lions are no exception. Nonetheless, we do our best to collect funds for local good causes, as well as national ones, and also for international appeals such as those recently put out for Tsunami and earthquake victims. If you are interested in learning more about Lions International or finding a Lions Club in the MD105EA area (Cambs, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk), visit: http://www.lions105ea.com. The Lions Club of Castle Point is twinned with the Lions Club of Topsfield in Massachusett, and occasionally members of one club will visit their twin. If you are interested in joining CP Lions, please contact us so we can invite you to one of our meetings and so learn more about us. You will receive a very warm welcome and, maybe, a free pint as well! You can email us at cplions.inquiries@virgin.net or telephone us on 0845 8335085. Castle Point Lions usually meet at 7.30pm for 8.00pm at the Hollywood Restaurant on Shipwrights Drive in Thundersley on the first and third Tuesdays in each month.

Visit: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/castlepointlionsclub You will see that we have launched our fundraising 'Letters From Santa' campaign so that children can once again receive a personalised letter from Father Christmas.
