Lion Bren Get's the Job done!

Lion Bren gets the job done
When Isle of Axholme Lions were asked by Luddington & Garthorpe Primary School if they could assist with the Early Years play area Lion Bren Slingsby thought it was an ideal thing to do.
Bren quickly took it on board and went to see what was required and it became a near enough a one-man project. Bren was committed!
Fortunately, he had business contacts who helped him out, particularly with a great donation of railway sleepers from Nick Fowles, Managing Director of Inframat Ltd based in Askern, Doncaster. Their very kind donation of top-quality wooden sleepers made the project the success it is.
Lion President Phil Shepherd said “It has taken a long time for Bren to get to his objective but, being the man he is, he has kept at it through thick and thin. The very wet winter did not help progress, particularly when his fellow Lion helper had a health problem that stopped him driving a tractor, or any vehicle.

We are all in awe of what he has achieved and it is a testament to his membership of Isle of Axholme Lions Club.
Despite all this, after nine months of dedicated work the project is now complete and is looking fantastic.”
We show photos of the project just after it started together with the finished area. More pictures can be seen on Isle of Axholme Lion Facebook page and their website www.isle-lions.org.uk
If getting involved in helping out in this way appeals to readers, they can contact The Lions though the website www.isle-lions.org.uk or on Facebook.

We are very pleased to introduce our new members to the Isle Lions.

Helping out in their local communities is what being a Lion is all about. Making a difference in The Isle of Axholme and further afield is what we do.
