My main role as Region Chair is to ensure that communications between Cabinet, Zones, Clubs and Lions are effective and two-way. Regular communication will ensure that success in retaining and gaining members, providing Service and raising funds are recognised and shared widely. I have seen, in the past, how poor communications has led to Clubs feeling unsupported and members questioning the value of membership |

I’ve managed to maintain this aim throughout my time as a Lion and I’ve been a part of some really wonderful moments. Going forward I believe with a great deal of encouragement and enthusiasm then all the members within Zone 4C can have that same fellowship and fun with friends, plus as Lions together we can make that difference within the community too. |

Zone 5C Chair
Lion Mike Harrison |
Hello, my name is Mike Harrison and I am both excited and honoured to be the chair of Zone 5C. I am Vice-President of Loughborough Lions Club and I have had a fast and exciting journey as a Lion since becoming a member after Feeding of the 5000 in Leicester in Autumn 2018. I am 31, married to the incredibly beautiful Christine Harrison and have 2 young girls Naomi 4 and Hannah 2 who fortunately have inherited their Mother's looks! I am a professionally qualified Youth and Community Worker and have a degree in Theology. Much of my youth and community work is done voluntarily these days for my church and for Lions with my paid job being a Customer Delivery Driver for Tesco.
As a new Lion who is still going through the ranks at club level I have always wanted to support the incredible work done by the cabinet team but never expected to be approached this early in my Lion journey! However, I really want to support the wonderful work done by clubs in Zone 5C and so I accepted the offer. Already I have been blown away by some of what our clubs are doing; their determination, creativity and resistance shown during the pandemic and more than anything their BIG LION HEARTS to serve their communities in any way they can. My 3 main goals as a Lion and as a Zone 5C chair are:- 1) To ensure that each Lion member enjoys being a member as much as I do 2) To help Lions to have the reputation, appreciation and recognition within my generation and the next to come that Lions have had in previous years. 3) To identify, nurture and develop new 18-30's Lions members that can lead us as a body of Lions into the years to come. If I can be of any use please do get in contact, we are all in this together! I cannot say that I will be able to answer every question about Lions but I can find someone or sign post you to someone who will know. |

Hello from Lion Derek Blow member of Louth & District Lions Club and Region Chair for Region 6
I have been a member of our outstanding organisation for several years and throughout this time I have had a thoroughly enjoyable time and have had the opportunity to serve in most club officer positions during this time. For many years I have also had the opportunity to be invited to serve on the Cabinet for many District Governors and enjoyed the good spirit of the Lions family within those Districts and hopefully gained valuable knowledge and experience throughout. My working career has been spent in farm machinery and consider that it has given me a sound grounding in engineering, practical skills and hopefully some common sense. Through my time as a Lion and working career my aim has been to work hard, play hard and most importantly enjoy life with your family. My aim and objective as Region Chair, to support the Zone Chairs with their duties in the Zone and assist when required. Support Clubs within the Region and the District Governor Team whilst promoting D.G. Lion David Pope with his goals and International Global Causes. As Region Chair, I would like the opportunity to visit all the clubs in the region and gain an understanding of club member concerns and promote our great District of 105CE. If there are any questions, concerns or just a general enquiry please feel free to call or e-mail me at any time. |
