Syd Perry

The Lions Club of Yateley & District is very sad to advise that Lion Syd Perry (MJF) died on 30th April aged 92 following a short time in hospital.
Syd was a charter member of Yateley Lions being President in 1983/84 and again in 1993/94. He held many other posts in our club including treasurer.
Until just recently he was a very active member involved in fund raising, welfare and regularly attending club and committee meetings.

Our sympathy goes to his children John, Debra & Sue and their families, also his sister Dot.
Syd`s funeral will be held at St Mary`s Church, Church Road, Eversley, Hampshire, RG27 0PX at 11:00am on Tuesday 13th May and afterwards at The Ely Hotel, London Road (A30), Yateley, Hampshire, GU17 9LJ.

Sydney Longson
Jersey Lions Club
The Lions Club of Jersey records with sorrow the death of Past District Governor Lion Sydney Longson.
Lion Sydney was a Charter Member at the Club’s formation in November 1963, was elected President for 1965/66 and served as District Governor for District 105D in 1983/84.
Lion Sydney was an architect, and the development of Maison des Landes Hotel for People with Disabilities, a Lions Club of Jersey project since 1965, which is now in the Club’s ownership, owes much to his expertise and will be a lasting legacy to him.
In addition to a wide range of Club offices, Lion Sydney was also the Club’s archivist and a long-serving member and chairman of the Constitution and Membership committee until his final illness prevented him participating this year.
It is a tribute to his inspirational skills and powers of persuasion that the Jersey Club has had 50 different presidents in it's 50 years.

Jenny Stallard
Eastleigh Lions Club
Members are sad to report the sudden death of Lion Jenny. Although only a member of the club for two years, having transferred from the Guernsey Club where she had been an active member navigating others around the island and taking part in their activities, she brought her own special individuality to the club’s meetings and became involved in most events.
Although very actively involved with Lions she still found time to help in the local ‘Age Concern’ shop. She will be sadly missed and our members’ thoughts are with her family, especially her daughter Kate and son James.

Harry Greenslade
Meon Valley Lions Club
Lion Harry Greenslade was well-known in the Meon Valley community and sadly passed away at the end of May.
After a long naval career, Harry lived for many years in Shirrell Heath and was one of our longest-standing members with almost 40 years service. He relinquished membership recently due to ill-health, but in his time had served as Club Treasurer, managed the 200 Club, run the Teddy-Bear Stall at local events, driven the minibus and been a regular collector on the Christmas Float. We shall miss him.

John Bastable
Newbury Lions Club
It is with deep regret the Lions Club of Newbury reports the passing to Higher Service of Lion John Bastable.
John joined the Club in 1979 and quickly persuaded the members it would be a good idea to purchase a large caravan, site it in a holiday park in Selsey and thus provide ready holidays for families in need. This is a tradition the Club continues today.
John was to remain our ‘Caravan Officer’ for 30 years and he will be sorely missed by all those who had the pleasure to know him; however his lasting legacy to those in need in Newbury lives on.
Lion John's funeral will be held on Friday 14th June at 2:15pm at the West Berkshire Crematorium, RG19 4LD.
This will be followed by a Buffet Lunch at the Berkshire Arms, RG7 5UX which is 500m along the A4 turning left from the Crematorium and heading towards Reading.
Address for cards or messages
No flowers, please, but any donations to the RSPB and sent to Geoffrey Church and Co, 48 Bishopwood Road, Tadley RG26 4HD with reference John Bastable.

Ian Birch
Yateley and District Lions Club
It is with great regret that I have to inform you that PDG Ian Birch MJF died yesterday (8th), apparently following a fall.
Ian joined Yateley Lions over 25 years ago and became a very active member, becoming President in 1989. He went on to become District Governor in 1994/1995. He continued to remain an active member at Club, District and Multiple District level before ill health forced him to become virtually house-bound.
The funeral, subject to a death certificate being issued in time, will be held at Easthampstead Crematorium, Easthampstead Park, South Road, Nine Mile Ride, Wokingham, Berkshire RG40 3DW on Tuesday 28th May at 11:15am and afterwards at The Casa Hotel, Handford Lane, Yateley GU46 6BT.
