Lion Lion June Smith
Lions Club of IOW Sandown and Shanklin

June Smith was a very valuable member of the Club, she was the longest serving member and loved to be involved no matter whether it was events, socials or sewing all the awards on the banners the club won. She was very proud that we won so many awards in the carnivals and often accompanied me in the car when towing the float. She had been a lion for over 20 years

Lion Robin Hotchkiss
Lions Club of Wimborne and Ferndown

It is with regret we have heard of the passing of Lion Robin Hotchkiss originally a Charter Member of Fleet Lions Club but lately a member of Wimborne and Ferndown.

There will not be a funeral but a celebration of Robin’s life. Details TBA

In March 1974 Lion Robin became a Charter member of the Lions Club of Fleet. Robin was always a very active member who in the years with Fleet served all the committees and was President in the 1990 – 1991 Lions year.

In September 2003 Robin moved to North Devon and transferred the Ilfracombe Lions Club. Despite moving away, Robin maintained close ties with the Fleet Club always attending our Charter Anniversaries therefore, even now, is known to nearly all of our current membership.

Robin will be greatly missed for his cheerful manner and his continued friendship with us all. Our deepest sympathy to Jeanie.
