With Newcastle Lion President, Liz  Murphy term of office nearly over, on Saturday it was with great pride, President  Liz  Murphy was thrilled to help clean one of the newly replaced defibrillator cabinets. The original defibrillator cabinets had all began to rust and the club successfully  for  £5,500.00 from the  Communities  National  Lottery  Fund to replace the ten of these. Having completed three years as Newcastle Lion  President Liz Murphy, was pleased that her last job in office was to see the cabinets being installed. During her three years, Liz was thrilled to see the membership numbers grow and overcome the strains of the club coming through Covid. The club have made many donations to charities, including  the  Children's cancer Fund and has also fund raised for the new Mourne Mountain Rescue rebuild fund. The club helped promote awareness of Tourette's  Syndrome on World  Disability  Day. President Liz was also thrilled that the club will attend an event in  Stormont on the 2nd  July to promote A vision of Reuse and  Repair. At the club's last meeting, President Liz was applauded for the great work she had completed  and best wishes were passed to incoming President John  McDonagh.

On  Friday evening, Mourne  Golf  Club captain  Patrick  Curran celebrated with his family and friends, his term as  Captain with the club. A wonderful night of lovely food and great music was on offer to the members of the club. As part of the celebration  Patrick arranged a raffle to collect funds for  Newcastle Lions  Club defibrillator maintenance appeal.  The raffle resulted in a very generous donation of  £900.00 from the members of the  Mourne  Golf  Club and was donated to the Lions. Receiving the donation on behalf of  Newcastle Lions Club, Dan  O'Reilly coordinator for the  Lions defibrillators said the donation was fantastic and would help remove any worries the Lions had, should finances for maintaining the defibrillators be stretched. Because the Lions defibrillators around the town and beyond are not financed by  Government , every time a defibrillator is used to try and save a life, in the follow up to bring the defibrillator back to emergency ready, £130.00 has to be found to finance the replacement parts.
