WOKINGHAM LIONS CLUB
Ordinary people doing extraordinary things
What Do Wokingham Lions Do?
We run numerous fund-raising events throughout the year, including:
#Woky Comedy Nights at the Wokingham Theatre
The Wokingham Classic Motor Show
Last year we raised over £70,000, while the events we organised helped charities raise at least another £55,000 for themselves. We donate most of the money we raise to support local charities, partly through our Golden Awards scheme, but we also support families and individuals facing hardship.
We also donate around 10% to worldwide disaster relief and global causes via Lions Club International Foundation.
We provide services to the local community through projects like Message in a Bottle, ReTec, Spectrek, Lions Share, Can-Can and we support other charities, fellow Lions Clubs and fund-raisers whenever we can.
Finally, we have fun doing it and organise great social activities for our members.

Wokingham Lions Club will be marshalling at an important and prestigious event which will take place on Sunday 26th October.
The Corps of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) will exercise their right to march, with fixed bayonets, through the town to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Corps leaving Arborfield.
In 1978, the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, then based in Arborfield, became Honorary Townspeople of Wokingham after thirty-six years association with our town. Over the years, Wokingham has seen many different troops on parade marching through the town with swords drawn and bayonets fixed, each time with the Mayor and other dignitaries taking the salute and inspecting the parade.
Led by a full military band, the REME parade will take place on Denmark Street at 11.00am and is estimated to last for approximately one hour.
In addition to the parade, the usual market place will be occupied by exhibits from the REME Corps Engagement Team which will include some military vehicles. The stalls and displays will be setting up from 9.00am on Sunday morning and will be available to the public until 1.30pm when they will start packing away.
This will be a wonderful opportunity to bring the local community together and to share an enjoyable and memorable FREE event to commemorate the departure of the REME and celebrate the historic links we have with them.
More details of the event are available on Wokingham Town Council's website www.wokingham-tc.gov.uk/council_events/reme-freedom-of-wokingham-parade/
