I hope that you all had a wonderful C h r i s t m a s w i t h
family and friends and that the New Year brings much fortune to you all. I’m also glad to hear that you and your families survived the festive season safe and sound.
We kick-off 2015 with great challenges ahead of us. The continuation of the Lions Show is at stake this year. The efforts of our show committee, members and volunteers at last year’s show were seen as a success in most people’s eyes. In reality though, we did not have enough people through the gates to make our efforts profitable. Although we get small sponsorships for parts of the show we have not been able to secure a main sponsor for the event. After saying this, the clubs show committee is working extremely hard in securing sponsorship for th is year ’s show. I f sponsorship is forthcoming we will be able us to extend our market campaign more widely to attract more people across the country and increasing numbers through our gates.I wish our Show convenor Lion Jean Masson and his show committee good luck and we are grateful for your efforts in this regard.
Although I mentioned in my last report that we would be launching diabetes testing in J a n u a r y t h i s y e a r w e experienced a couple of hurdles along the way. I’m now glad to mention that Lion Mike and Lady Lion Debbie Marshal have secured the 28 th o f Feb to launch diabetes testing in Port Shepstone. Well done.
Lion Bingo is now being headed up by Lion Kenny
Rolfe this year. The first session was held on January 24th and went off well thanks to Lion Kenny, Lion members and Lady Lions who made it a great success.
I thank our Lady Lions for their efforts in the running of the food security project during January. On behalf of the members of our club we appreciate your dedication in the cooking and provision of food you do on monthly bases for the people of the Flower Foundation.
In closing we say farewell to dedicated Lion Colin Haines and Lion Lady Debbie Scrivins who will be relocating to Montagu in the Western Cape. On behalf of the club I thank you both for your remarkable commitment you put into the service within our club. You will be sorely missed and we wish you well in your new endeavour.

n 20th December, Harbourview
OSuperspar in Port Shepstone once
again kindly allowed the Port
Shepstone Lions Club to collect food
donations for the needy. Members of the
Club worked in shifts at both entrances in
order to promote the project and provide
descriptions of what groceries were required.
The generosity of the public was once again
outstanding. Numerous shopping trolleys
were filled and a number of cash donations
were made. The cash donations were utilised
to purchase additional items required and
food hampers were packed by members of
the club for distributed to various needy
families and institutions in the Port
Shepstone area.

Sheppie Lions Hosted Bingo at their
clubhouse on Saturday 24th January.
Lions Bingo sessions are held on the
3rd Saturday afternoon of every month at
the Port Shepstone Lions' Den for the
elderly and the Blind. Transportation for
these folk is provided by the members of
the Club and the Ladies' Club provides
delicious eats. Elderly folk from three local
retirement villages, namely, Mbango Valley,
Anerley Haven and the Flower Foundation
regularly attend these very enjoyable
events. Lion Kenny Rolfe (left), who recently
took over as project convener calls out the
numbers.
Lion members from five of the six clubs in Zone 6 gathered
for their 3rd Zone Meeting of the fiscal year at the
Ramsgate Lions Community Centre. Zone Chairman Andre
Beneke once again ran a superb meeting which encouraged
active participation by all clubs present. The Zone collectively
decided to sponsor a new dentist chair for the Hibberdene Lions’
Clinic as a Zone project. Hibberdene Lions have been running
their clinic for the past 20 years and are providing a vital service
to many who are unable to afford medical treatment. The Zone
also plans to host an inter-club potjie kos competition during
their 4th Zone meeting which will hopefully become an annual
event.
ZC Andre with Zone
Secretary George Leggett
ion President Alastair Warman and Club Secretary Denis LMeyer enjoyed a lovely evening on 23rd January with the
Sheppie Round Table 83 at their Induction Dinner. The
glittering event was held at Umthunzi Hotel in Umtentweni. The
Sheppie Tablers are truly a magic bunch of guys who are very
dedicated to service, fellowship and fun. We are planning many
future joint ventures between our two clubs which happen to meet
on the same nights and are in close proximity to each other. Our
hearty congratulations to incoming Table Chairman Etienne Du
Plessis.

A number of Sheppie Lions, Ladies and their families
enjoyed a very festive New Year’s Eve party at the Port
Shepstone Country Club. The pouring rain did not put a
dampener on the event which was very well supported by
locals. The live entertainment was superb - Durban band
“Looking Back” played all the
favourites from the 60's and
70's and kept the dance floor
full until the early hours of New
Year’s Day.

An application has been submitted to South Coast Tourism for sponsorship for this year’s Lions Show. If sponsorship is provided then
the event will take place at the Port Shepstone Country Club during the weekend of 10-12 July. Representatives of the Port Shepstone Lions met with the Country Club Committee and they are
happy to, once again host the event. A special Show meeting was held at the Sheppie Lions Den during January and it was unanimously decided that the name of the event would revert back to the South Coast Lions
Show, a brand that is familiar with all locals. Lion Jean Masson very kindly agreed to convene the project and will start selecting his committee once sponsorship confirmation has been received. All Lions Clubs in Zone 6 have been invited to participate in the Show and all efforts will be made to promote local talent, arts, crafts, industry and entertainment. This extraordinary event will be entering it’s 30th year of existence and we sincerely hope that we can keep it running for many years to come. As the saying goes.....WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
