We had a marquee at the show, along with Exeter Lions, promoting Lions and gave out leaflets. We also took details of people who would like their blood sugar levels and blood pressure taken. We then passed them over to Lloyds pharmacy staff who did all the tests, and if necessary from the results advised them to visit their G.P, or A &E if life threatening. Sophie Countess of Wessex, who is a Lion and our patron, attended the show, and visited our Marquee ,and chatted to all the Lions and Lloyds staff. Over 3 days, about 300 people were tested, and several referrals made.

We will be giving away balloons for the children, and music will be provided by a Fairground Organ

The above event was very successful, the Fairground organ attracting many people. The children loved being given the Lions Centenary balloons, and 400 were seen in the skies above Exeter. We gave out 100 leaflets, and talked to a lot of people about our club. It was a windy day, and our marquee moved back by 1.5 metres! during the day. We  presented a specially made tricycle, which we had given a large donation towards, to a disabled 10 year old girl called Harriet Dunn. She, and her family were thrilled to receive this tricycle, as it meant that she could now go out with her family. We also presented a cheque for £1000 to the M.S Society. An impromptu  appearance was made by a Hen Party and the photo shows them in front of the Fairground organ all dressed as old ladies! Also photos of M.S. society cheque being presented, and Harriet & family with new bike
