Born and bred in Leigh on Sea, my career has mainly been in IT and project management. Following early retirement, I’ve thrown myself into full time volunteering - in Lions, in a social care charity and I even run a museum.
I joined the Lions Club of Leigh on Sea around 2014 and have been the zone chairman for the clubs of South East Essex for several years, on and off. I am looking forward to broadening my horizons to the entire county. My main focus in Lions has always been on the community/welfare side of our operation. My aim going forward is to concentrate on membership. It’s not just about numbers, it’s about Lions actively serving their community. We are too valuable a community service to disappear! |

Zone 4A Chair
Kevin Parker zone4a@lions105ce.org.uk |
Zone 4B Chair
Lion Dave Broadley zone4b@lions105ce.org.uk |
Having moved to Saffron Walden soon after retirement, I joined Saffron Walden Lions Club because I wanted to help others and felt the need to ‘give something back.’ Prior to retirement I had a successful career in Personnel/HR Management so was used to working with people at all levels. I started as a Lion in July 2018, became the Vice President a year later in July 2019 and have been the President since July 2020.
I see the position of Zone Chair as essential not only because it provides a direct link between the District Team and local clubs but also and perhaps more importantly because it enables those clubs to share ideas and best practice, learn from each other, provide a helping hand where needed and practicable, and ultimately to strengthen the bond between Clubs in the Zone so we are best able to serve those in need in our communities. |
Zone 4C Chair
Lion Chris Eglington zone4c@lions105ce.org.uk |
I joined Beccles and District Lions Club in 2007 and for the last 2 years I have been Club President.
I joined Lions hoping my small contribution could be a part of the bigger aim of Lionism, that of helping others and to make a difference within the community, whilst still having fellowship and fun with friends. 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. |

This is the first time for me in a role above Club level and I hope to do it justice as the Zone Chair for Zone 5C. I plan to work with all the clubs in the Zone to learn from them and share good ideas for socialising and services projects. One of my goals is to run a Zone Service Project and having discussed this (Christmas Shoe Boxes for Children and Adults) with the Region Chair Lion Verdun Webley, it looks like it may well become a Region wide project – watch this space. I am a busy mother of three, and grandmother to a little boy and a new-born girl. So, with that and looking after my other half, the family does keep me busy!! |
