As always, this was very popular with the younger children.

June donations

At the business meeting of the club this month it was agreed to make the following donations:

• £200 to the South Downs District of the Girls Brigade to assist with the cost of introducing new training materials for the Brighton-based groups;
• £500 to Ss Peter and James Hospice in memory of Bruce Nunn, a member of the club who died recently at the hospice.

Another £250 was set aside to buy small treats to be given to patients in the nuclear medicine department of the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital.

The Tuesday Club

Every month, one of our members acts as driver to take three local blind people to the Tuesday Club, a social group for the blind. Yesterday the meeting was at the Bentley Wildfowl Centre and Motor Museum. Although registered as blind, the two local people we took do have a very little sight and they enjoyed their visit to the house and walking through the wildfowl pens.

Hove Lions' Carnival

Perfect weather yesterday to bring out the crowds for Hove Lions' Carnival. We had three stalls - pig racing, books and costume jewellery. Financially, it was a good day. We sold £100-worth of jewellery and took £170 on the book stall. The racing pigs brought in £150, which must be close to a record take for one day. If you have never seen our racing pigs, just watch this short video.
