Newcastle Lions recently held their end of year picnic for members, family and friends in Castlewellan Park. Although the weather was inclement all enjoyed the delicious food and camaraderie. During the event outgoing President Liz Murphy passed over the presidential chain to incoming President John McDonagh. John has been a member of the local club for the past 12 years and is really looking forward to his term of oce and continuing the great work of past holders of the role. The lions also donned their new hats which should make an appearance at the Daisy Dander Charity event on Saturday 28th September 2024 which involves a short walk from the Cone of Light to the White Bridge to raise awareness of Childrens Cancer Month.


Details of this event later.

The last week of term was a busy one for Shimna College students and staff as they partnered with the Newcastle Lions club in a great Environment Project. Students from years 8-11 marked World Environment Day with 3 days of volunteering work as they went green with the Lions engaging in beach and park cleans ensuring that Donard Park, Castle Park and the foreshore were cleaned for summer visitors. In addition, one group helped clean and prepare spectacles for dispatch to France, where they are inspected and graded before being sent to other countries in need.

The students really engaged with great enthusiasm and have made a real difference to our local community and beyond. Ben Ryan from “Keep NI Beautiful” helped by providing some equipment and our yellow high vis jackets adorned with the tag line" live here - love here" were very popular.

Newcastle Lions would like to thank all the students and staff who took part for their fantastic support and we look forward to developing this partnership further with Shimna College.

Newcastle Lions club President Liz Murphy was delighted to finish her term of service by presenting a cheque for £600 to Mourne Mountain Rescue team member Harry Teggarty. This money was raised during the street collection organised by the Newcastle Lions during May for the Mourne Mountain Rescue Service and the Lions would like to record their sincere thanks to the people of Newcastle and surrounding area for their generous donations to the collection.
