It's a Knockout!

And it was a knockout success!  Last Sunday, Brighton and other local Lions Clubs organised an It's a Knockout day for people with handicaps both physical and mental - a sort of mini Paralympic Games.  Lions (and Leo) were encouraged to wear silly hats.

There was a lunchtime disco and the Deputy Mayor of the City of Brighton & Hove, Councillor Anne Meadows, was on hand to present medals and certificates to all participants.
