Swaffham Lioness Club<br />

Club President Nicola Claxton was delighted to<br />

welcome our Multiple District Lioness Chairman<br />

Angela Howard to one of our meetings, when we<br />

badged up our newest member, Lioness Dawn Funnell.<br />

Recently we have been out and about raising money<br />

for various charities with our “Pick a Straw” tombola.<br />

We took it to the 1st Swaffham Scouts Fete in July, the<br />

Olympic Carnival Day on Campingland in August, and the<br />

Community Hospital League of Friends Fete in September.<br />

In Memory Of Carol<br />

The Swaffham Lions are holding a Coffee Morning<br />

and book sale on 12th November at the Assembly<br />

Rooms, 9.30 – 1pm. The Macmillan Unit at the QE<br />

would like eight special pumps to help their patients<br />

but at £3000 each they are going to need help.<br />

Swaffham Lions would like to donate a pump in<br />

memory of Carol Gilding, the local post lady who sadly<br />

died recently. Tickets will be available from Ceres Book<br />

shop, the Market Cross and our businesses around<br />

the town. Tickets can also be bought from any Lion<br />

or call Pam Tallon on 01760 721550 for more details.<br />

Adult Education<br />

Lioness member Judith Coker and her husband Lion<br />

David hosted a lovely Sunday Afternoon Tea Party for<br />

the Lionesses at their home , where we all took some<br />

food, and held a Bring & Buy stall for our Club funds.<br />

Many thanks to Judith and David for their hospitality.<br />

Swaffham Trade Association<br />

Fundraising evening.<br />

To all those who were unable to make it, you<br />

missed a great evening of fun and enjoyment.<br />

What you missed was the Swaffham Trade<br />

Association’s first event in support of the town’s<br />

Christmas Lights event.<br />

It was an exceptional evening of fun, entertainment<br />

and great food – all for a good cause. One hundred<br />

guests enjoyed a memorable evening with the STA<br />

Chairman Colin Mason giving a brief overview of the<br />

STA’s plans for Christmas and beyond. The Parisian<br />

Swing Band kicked off the evening with some really<br />

foot tapping music, members and volunteers pulled<br />

out all stops with a terrific buffet fit for a banquet.<br />

TCT Plumbing and Electrical is a small local<br />

company based in Swaffham<br />

From replacing a wall socket to fitting a whole<br />

new kitchen or bathroom<br />
