It's all change at Wetherby Lions with a new President and Vice President.

At a recent meeting Lion President handed over the chains of office to Vice-President Ruth, who now becomes our first Lady President, with Tricia becoming our new Vice-President and Andre our new Club Secretary.

Martin had this to say about the handover.

"I am delighted to hand over to Ruth Holt - the new President of Wetherby District Lions Club. Ruth will be the first woman to lead our organisation and I am sure she will do a great job. I am pleased to be handing over with the club in good spirit and on an upward trajectory which Ruth and her team are set to continue.  Over recent years we have helped so many local people and organisations which makes the time and effort put in by all the Lions seem worthwhile and genuinely appreciated by many local people."

With what it meant for Ruth

“It is an honour to take over the Presidency of Wetherby District Lions Club from Martin.  Under Martin’s leadership the club has gone from strength to strength.  Martin will be a hard act to follow and I know he will continue to play a big part in the Wetherby Lions.”

And Tricia's thoughts on what it means to her

"I have been part of The Lions for a few years now and find it very rewarding helping people and been part of a great team.

Taking up the role of Vice President is a great privilege and I will look forward to being Ruth’s right hand person."
