We
are a mixed group of people with varying abilities and a variety
of equipment but all share a keen interest in photography. We
aim to improve our understanding of all aspects of photography
so our programme includes several evenings on topics chosen
by the group. Visiting speakers are invited to contribute their
experience and insight.
Competitions are another feature of Club life. The subjects
are varied and by contributing to these, either with slides
or prints, we gain a better understanding of what makes for
a good photograph.
Digital
photography is gaining ground as it becomes easier and cheaper
to produce quality work in this format.

ar e
built on a stone base, the "grumpling" and were originally

The
Lions Club of Thame & District
Current President until 30th June 2004
is Alan Chandler
There are two meetings per month on the first and third Wednesday.
Meetings are held at Racquets starting at 8 pm.
As
with all Lions Clubs we are affilated to Lions Clubs International
which is the largest volunteer service organisation in the
world. Thame Club is part of District 105a covering London
north of the Thames up to Banbury in Oxfordshire and east
as far as Redbridge, taking in Bucks and Hertsfordshire. District
105a is part of Multiple District 105 covering the UK and
Ireland. 105a is second in membership to District 105i being
the whole of Ireland, with some 1800 members.
Lions raise money for all types of charitable causes and none
of the money raise is used to support the clubs. The clubs
are funded by the members and their supporters.
The Lions are recognised for their work with preventable blindness
in fact Helen Keller in 1927 challenged all Lions to become
Knights of the Blind and to work towards eradicating preventable
blindness. To this end Lions Clubs International established
a fund known as LCIF which based on funds raised by Lions
Clubs worldwide donate towards solving problems of blindness
approximately $40 million each year.
Lions was founded in 1917 by a Chigago Business man named
Melvin Jones and it is his name that Lions can receive their
highest honour the Melvin Jones award.
As well as the international element all clubs raise and distribute
money to local causes, these can be social
activities for the elder or disabled, to providing man power
for projects in the community.
