Activity Alliance Junior Championship Games 1st and 2nd July 2023
Thank you to your Youth Officer, Kevin Simpson, for helping at the 2023 Activity Alliance Junior Championship Games over the weekend. My thanks to you for everything you did.
Your help is much appreciated by myself and Activity Alliance. Without the team of Lion Volunteers Activity Alliance could not run the Games.
Whatever role you carried out it meant that the Games ran smoothly, everybody was fed, cars directed to the car park and the athletes could participate in their respective sport. There were many smiling faces as athletes proudly showed off their medals.
Council Chairman Lion David Pope joined us on Saturday. He met the athletes/volunteering members of the Lions Team and participatied in official presentations. Your support is much appreciated
I have established that:-
Roles carried out by the Lion Volunteer Team included food distribution, assisting officials/judges to run track and field events, running events, directing cars to the car park, ferrying equipment to the field events, anything asked of them.
