Lions revival

Three Lions clubs in the Bay of Islands are considering merging into a single new group. Currently there are clubs in Kerikeri, Waipapa and Paihia, but all are grappling with declining and aging membership. Now they are planning to join forces to “form a bigger and stronger group to better serve the Bay of Islands’.’ A meeting to explain what is planned will take place at the Waipapa Hall, on Waipapa Loop Rd, on Wednesday starting 7pm, all welcome. Mayor John Carter, himself a Lion back in the day, will be the guest speaker.
