Goring, Woodcote and District Lions Club

Goring, Woodcote & District Lions Club is part of Lions Clubs International which has just been recognised by the United Nations as one of the premier NGOs in the world.

We have a Dinner and business meeting once a month on the 2nd Monday of each month at the Caversham Heath Golf Club.

We fund raise in the villages of South Oxfordshire, from South Stoke to Whitchurch on Thames. Over 80% of our money is put back into the local community with some going to Lions Clubs International projects around the world and some the National Lions projects in UK and Ireland.

We have no upper age limit (21 is minimum) and membership of the club is open to men, women and couples.

In the Woodcote area, the main noticeable things we run are the annual Lions Santa Float, the annual 10k Run and we have helped organise the Woodcote Fun day. We organise an annual conker competition held at the Cross Lanes Fruit Farm open day and support both Langtree Primary and Secondary schools.

Lions Annual Charity Run Results 2012

A perfect day for running enabled more than 400 people to take part in the 28th Annual 10k Charity Road Run organised by Goring, Woodcote & District Lions Club on Sunday 8th January 2012. During the run there was no wind and it was very mild for the time of year.

The race was started by Goring estate agent Bob Warmingham, main sponsor of the event, who also presented trophies to the winners.
