Lion Allison Turner MJF
Lions Club of Cosham
It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing to Higher Service of Lion Allison Turner MJF.
Lion Allison died on April 16th 2017 after a year of poor and often painful health.
Lion Allison had always supported her husband, John since he became a Lion in the early 90’s but in 2008 she decided to become a Lion herself, serving both as President and Treasurer.
The saying goes ‘if you want a job doing then ask a busy person’; Lion Allison was that person! As well as being a committed Lion, Allison was President and Treasurer of the local Conservative Club, Treasurer on her Church council, and volunteered at a local Infants School and the City Museum.
Although not well, she knew that her husband John was to be presented with a MJF at our recent 50th Charter Evening..... she was determined to be there.... What she did not know was that the members of Cosham Lions were on that evening to bestow that same honour on her. That is the picture we in Cosham Lions will hold dear.
Rest in Peace

Lion Harry Purchase MJF
Lions Club of Windsor
Windsor Lions Club is deeply saddened to report the death of Lion Harry on Sunday 13th November aged 84 years – he served the club for over 41 years.
Harry received a Melvyn Jones Fellowship and undertook almost every official role in Windsor Lions including Club President on three occasions as well as working hard on both the Activities and Social Welfare committees for many years.
Harry was a unique, larger than life character, full of fun but with a sharp eye for business and always driven by the need to help others. He will be deeply missed.
