Autumn officially started on September 23^rd giving us time to reflect on the summer we have had. Among other things we started with our new “Lions International Golf Day”, continued with the open air presentation of “Pride & Prejudice” in conjunction with Glebe School and ended with the “Indoor Bowls Competition”. We’re pleased to say that all three of these events are to become permanent fixtures in our annual calendar. Of course it won’t be the same play, but it will be a performance by “Heartbreak Productions” again. Details of these and other events will start to be announced in the New Year. The Indoor Bowls competition was a great success. We are indebted to David Hart and Angela Lee of “Sedgeford ‘B’ Indoor Carpet Bowls Club” who organised this for us and we look forward to the next one.

So in “G.Q.T.” language ‘onwards and upwards’. Our Car Boot Sales at the Glebe school continue to be huge successes. There are four more this year on October 9^th, 16^th, 23^rd and 30^th, so don’t miss out on any of them. As usual they start at 8.00am for customers (stallholders can arrive from 7.00am onwards). Admission and parking for customers is free, but of course donations are very welcome. Without these we would not be able to support local people and causes as well as we do.

Friday November 18^th will see us out and about in all the local pubs and clubs collecting money for “Children in Need”. Last year we raised over £1000.00 for this fantastic cause, and we hope to do even better this year. All the money raised goes straight to “Children in Need”.

We will be at the Town’s “Christmas Cracker” turning on the festive lights in Hunstanton on Sunday November 20^th and be exhibiting in the decorated Christmas tree event being held in the Town Hall on December 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th, so come in and see how we do.

Look out for us outside “Tesco” on the 3^rd and 4^th of December as well where we will be collecting for our charitable work. Please give generously if you see us there.

We’re very pleased to announce that our “Turkey & Tinsel” lunches for senior citizens are going to be held in the “Green Lodge” restaurant in the week starting December 5^th. This again will be a three course traditional luncheon with tea or coffee at the very low cost of only £3.50 per head. Hunstanton Lions Club pay the balance. Details of how to book will be in the November edition of this Newsletter. Please remember that this is for all senior citizens in our area, that means if you live in any of the outlying villages you are of course very welcome. This is the third year we have held these and everyone thoroughly enjoys themselves. We look forward to welcoming you all to this special festivity.

Finally our “200 Club” draw for September were Andy Stone, Peter Sutton, Stella Desroches and Chris May. Well done all of you, and thank you for supporting us.

So, as always, we have lots of things coming up and hope that you all will help us enjoy them.
