New President Installed for Newquay Towan Blystra Lions
In a celebratory joint gathering of the two Newquay Lions Clubs, Jon Collins was officially installed as the new President of Newquay Towan Blystra Lions.
Jon, a dedicated member of the club for around eight years, has played key roles in many of its high-profile community events, including the Newquay Beer Festival and the much-loved Santa Sleigh Run around town. Known for his commitment and energy, Jon has already begun his presidential term by representing the club at several community donation presentations.
The members warmly congratulated Jon and wished him a successful two-year term as President.
The club also took the opportunity to express heartfelt thanks to the outgoing President, Heather Stanley, for her outstanding leadership over the past two years. Heather was presented with a bouquet of flowers and the prestigious Melvin Jones Fellowship Award for excellence — one of the highest honours in Lions International.
In her acceptance, Heather said:
“Thank you to all the Club members who have made my time as president enjoyable. I am pleased to end my term with such an active and growing membership. I wish Jon all the best for his time as President. Many thanks to Jill and Phil for hosting our handover and providing the refreshments.”
With strong leadership and an enthusiastic membership, Newquay Towan Blystra Lions look forward to continuing their impactful work in the local community.
