SPORTS COACHING WEEKEND 06 AND 07 APRIL 2024 – APPLICATIONS REMINDER
Please complete and return your applications as soon as you can.
Remember that the final deadline for applications is Wednesday 07 February so that Lions can collect the forms from schools before half term.

@Devizes_Lions will be coming to your schools in January to tell you how you can participate in the Sports Coaching Weekend on 1st and 2nd April 2023 if you are in School year groups 4 to 8.

This evening, @Devizes_Lions will be continuing their tour of the town with a decorated musical sleigh and Santa on board to catch up on some of the routes he missed earlier this week. Check out our Facebook page @devizeslions for details of the route and to track his progress.

@Devizes_lions SANTA'S ROUTES on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 DECEMBER have BOTH been CANCELLED due to freezing conditions and icy roads. Santa will be at Morrisons on Saturday 17 December 8:15am until 3:30pm. In the evening, Santa hopes to catch up some routes he missed earlier.

SANTA'S ROUTES Tuesday 13 DECEMBER and Wednesday 14 DECEMBER have BOTH been CANCELLED. The organisers have been out and concluded that the condition of the pavements and untreated side streets are such as to cause a hazard to Santa, his team, the public and the children. Sorry.

@Devizes_lions CHRISTMAS FAIR raised well over £5000 yesterday. Check out our Facebook page for more details @devizeslions

DEVIZES LIONS’ CHRISTMAS FAIR IS BACK! @Devizes_lions Christmas Fair will be back in the Corn Exchange on Saturday, 03 December 2022, between 9 to 2.30. We need more BOOKS, BIKES AND TOOLS. Please check what’s in your garage attic or bookshelves, ready for collection in NOVEMBER.

58 people were tested at a Diabetes and Blood Pressure Screening Event organised by @Devizes_Lions as part of the Health and Well Being Day on the Small Green. The good news is that we did not find many people with raised blood sugars, but a third had raised Blood Pressure.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II dedicated her life to service for her people, our Nation and the Commonwealth. @Devizes_Lions join the nation in their grief and offer the Royal Family our heartfelt condolences.

@Devizes_Lions will be offering FREE diabetes and blood pressure testing at this year's HWB (Health and Well Being) Showcase, on Saturday 10 September 2022 between 11:00 to 15:00 at the Small Green in Devizes.
