This year’s Changeover Party, held on Friday 3 July at Stratford Sports and Social Club, was a great success.

Well attended, the party commenced with a lovely buffet lunch. This was followed by a brief Changeover ceremony, with Lion Rob Clark confirmed as Shakespeare Lions’ President for the Lionist Year 2026 - 2027. Rob made a delightful speech regarding his hopes, aspirations and plans for his new role.

The party then moved outside into the lovely sunshine, where everyone took part in games of ‘Molkky’, the game kindly provided by June and Trevor. Trevor did a sterling job of scoring whilst June ensured the rules were followed, no mean feat! A great time was had by all.

Ending at 4pm, thanks for a successful party must go to the Sports and Social club for setting up the venue and providing a delicious buffet lunch.
