The Club

The Clubs' Organisation - 50 Years of Service 1968 to 2018, and onwards!

The Club was formed in 1968 with 20 members by our 'mother club' Crawley and has a around 30 members, a mix of men and women.

Meetings and Venue

The Club meets on the first Monday (providing that is not a Bank Holiday) of each month starting at 7.30 pm to talk about plans and discuss the running of the club and its activities. These monthly Business Meetings ensure we stay on track, raise enough money to fulfil our community plans and enjoy a sociable beverage afterwards. The location is a meeting room upstairs in The Dorset Arms, 58 High Street, East Grinstead RH19 3DE   Visitors and non lions wishing to attend should contact the Club Secretary ( [email protected] ) Brendan Joyce on  0345 833 9506 or via the Contact Us page.

    Lions International and UK Lions
MD 105SE  
The International Association of Lions Clubs, better known as Lions Clubs International, was the brain child of Melvin Jones and came into being on 7th June 1917, in October of that year the first Convention was held and a total of 22 Clubs attended.  The first Club to be formed outside the United States was Windsor, Ontario, Canada and so the International Association was started.  The first Lions Club in the UK was formed in 1950 as a result of the influence of US Servicemen here during the war. 
     
logo transparent   All Lions throughout the world wear in their lapel an emblem consisting of a gold "L" on a blue field. Bordering this is a circular gold area with two lion profiles facing away from the centre. Symbolically the lions face both past and future.    As you can see from the logo, the royal colours of blue and gold were selected as the official colours when the Association was organised in 1917.   Blue stands for loyalty to friends and to one's self, and for integrity of mind and heart. Gold symbolises sincerity of purpose, liberality in judgement, purity in life and generosity in mind and heart towards humanity.
