🌟 *Happy International Women's Day!* 🌟

We are thrilled to share some wonderful news from Latch Children's Cancer Charity. Last year, Chepstow and Caldicot Lions made a significant donation to support the refurbishment of bedrooms at the hospital, providing a comforting space for families to stay close to their children during treatment.

Last year, the infamous Willy Wonka Glasgow experience went viral due to the use of AI-genarated images that misled the public. The event, which promised an immersive and magical experience, turned out to be poorly executed and far from what the promotional images depicted. This led to widespread disappointment and frustration among attendees, many of whom felt utterly deceived.

Giving blood is such a wonderful way to support your community and help save lives all over Wales. At present only 3% of the population donate blood. Each donation can save three lives or six premature babies. 

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing to higher service of our wonderful dear friend, Lion Nigel Gibby. Lion Nigel passed away peacefully on Sunday, 8th December 2024, at The Grange Hospital in Cwmbran, with his beloved daughter Sara by his side.

Chepstow and Caldicot Lions are deeply saddened to announce the passing to higher service, of Lion Robert Thompson. Lion Rob was a founder member of the club and was instrumental in its charter in 1972. He was the last surviving founder member and the longest serving Lion with over 52 years service. He was a very active Lion and was club President from 1977- 1978 and 1994 - 1995.

The 2024 Lions Roar competition, a collaboration between Lions Clubs and 8billionideas, concluded with the National Finals at the beginning of December.

Saturday, 23rd November 2024, the Chepstow and Caldicot Lions were at the Tesco Superstore in Chepstow, collecting new toys for local children who might otherwise not recieve a present this festive season. These toys will be distributed with the help of local foodbanks. Stay tuned for more updates!

Black Friday falls on the day after Thanksgiving, which is the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. In 2024, Black Friday will occur on November 29th. It is followed by Cyber Monday, another major shopping day known for online deals.
