ANGLESEY CENTRAL LIONS CLUB: Since the formation of the Club in 1978, the Club has donated money, and assisted in many local events throughout its 43 years of its existence. Like many other service organisati­ons, the Covid pandemic affected the Club’s functions during this period. However, even under these extreme circumstan­ces the Club managed to donate nearly £3,000 towards local appeals. Now that the Covid pandemic is hopefully coming to its conclusion, the Club would like to hear from like minded community supporters to become prospectiv­e members of the Club, to assist in the support of the local community. For details phone: Lion Secretary Neil Stewart on 07747 043846.
