2024 Report
We were joined by dozens of Lions from across South Essex and East Anglia, & non-Lion volunteers, for the annual Sports & Fun Day for Disabled People.
The weather held up nicely as over 100 competitors, their carers & families, made the journey to Benfleet for a grand day out. Activities & sports included yoga, arts & crafts, javelin, discus, target golf, shot put, basketball, table tennis -v- robot, new age kurling, bags in buckets, bowls and (everyone’s favourite ) Sticky Balls! And a few more besides…
The winning team was Aylesbury, but there were great performances across the board.
Thanks must go to the King John School , Benfleet for hosting the event, & our four local dignitaries, who did a stirling job running round a very warm and muggy hall to present gold, silver & bronze medals in every category (and what a lot there were): Rebecca Harris MP, David Burton-Sampson MP (DBS 4 Southend West & Leigh), Mayor of Castle Point Cllr Lynsey McCarthy-Calvert and Deputy Mayor of the City of Southend, (and Lion) Cllr Nigel Folkard.
Heartfelt thanks to the following for all their help.
