Skateboard Competition

Bonfire Night

Every Bonfire night we invite members of the public to our bonfire and fireworks display at Burniston car park. This year was our biggest event yet. Opened by Scarborough's Lord Mayor, it was our biggest bonfire, biggest firework display and, thanks to you the general public, our biggest attendance. We collected over £6000 which, after deduction of costs left us with over £1000 all of which will be used for charitable causes in our local community as well as abroad.

Casino Nights

 We have our own casino tables and can run a “Fun Casino Night” at most venues and events you organise for charity or just entertainment.
We can provide roulette, dice and cards (blackjack) using a total of seven tables but we can customise  games to suit the numbers at the event.
You pay us a fee for the tables and croupiers and you organise the venue, prizes, food, drink and tickets. A Great FUNdraiser.
Our croupiers are able to help the participants learn the games and we also organise the flow of chips to keep the action going. At the end of the evening those with the highest number of chips enter a spin off to determine the lucky winners.
If you would like more information or to book our Fun Casino contact Lion Tony Campbell on 01723 376458

Christmas sleigh and supermarket fundraising drives

 Each year in December we take our Christmas sleigh along with Father Christmas and his helpers out on to the streets of Scarborough collecting funds to help those in need.  Take a look at our calendar and see when the sleigh will be visiting your area.

In addition, thanks to their generosity in allowing us on to their premises, we organise Christmas collections at Morrison's, Sainsbury's and Proudfoot stores throughout Scarborough.

 Help For Heroes

Each year our members take to the streets to collect money for the Help for Heroes fund. As with all of our collections all of the money we raise on these collection days goes to the fund. Nothing is deducted for expenses. 

Great North Bike Ride Marshalling

Each summer along with fellow Lions and Lionesses from the district we provide marshalling services to the Great North Bike Ride between Weatherby and Filey.

Peace Poster Competition

Each year, Lions Clubs around the world proudly sponsor the Lions International Peace Poster Contest in local schools and youth groups. This contest encourages young people worldwide to artistically express their visions of peace.
 
For information about entering your school or local organisation into this year’s competition, please contact our District Peace Poster Officer Lion Audrey Carey at audrey@audreycarey.orangehome.co.uk.

Young Ambassador Award

Do you know a young person who has done great work in their local community? Each year, young adults aged between 15-19 years old can be nominated for their contribution and outstanding involvement in the local community. We are looking for hopeful individuals to be nominated for this award. Scarborough Lions Club is working alongside Scarborough Sixth Form College for this year’s entry to win a bursary that can go towards their local projects.

 Golf Tournament

Are you a keen golfer? Do you have any friends who might be interested in a team golf event during the Summer. We have just the event for you!. Each year we hold a golf tournament at South Cliff Golf Club which is open to all.

We hold a Lions Am Am team tournament where teams of 4 gentlemen with official handicaps of 24 or less are invited to take part. Higher handicap golfers can also take part and play off a 24 handicap. Food is available to purchase during the day and the day will finish with the presentation of the many prizes to be won.

Our next golf day will be on Monday June 11th 2012.

 New Years Day Dip

 Our 2012 New Years Day Dip was a huge success with nearly 70 people (all in wonderful fancy dress costumes) participating in the dash into (and out off!) the cold North Sea. Scarborough's Mayor judged the fancy dress and awarded the prizes.

This is an annual event now in its twentieth year, and would not be possible without the support of all the dippers both local and visitors who come to Scarborough just to take part. Gerry Scott from Radio York has been on station for the last few years, with live links interviewing dippers and supporters on their thoughts and experience of taking part in the New Years day Dip.

This event is a good fundraiser for both dippers and Lions, with 75% of the sponsored money raised going to a charity of the dippers choice. So, if you think that you are brave enough to DIP then contact aldeacon2004@yahoo.co.uk and you will have the necessary forms sent out to you. Come on have a go and earn some money for your favourite charity!
