The Thame
& District Classic Motor Club
Royal
British Legion
-
Meets every third Wednesday in
the Month - Old Nags Head, Thame - 7.15pm for 7.30pm
- Come and join us !
Wanted! Women and ‘Girl Power’
have always under-pinned society – Why? –
because we can be relied upon; because we are “doers”
not “watchers”; because we hold families and
groups of people together; because we are good organisers
but most importantly because we VALUE one another.
Why should you know about the Royal British Legion Women’s
Section? – because it is the LARGEST Ex-Servicewomen’s
organisation in the country. Not only that, but it is
the SECOND LARGEST women’s organisation in the
country! ANY woman over the age of 16 may join –
and is already has 70,000 members.
What will I have to do? Well, if you want to offer your
support and encouragement, and your belief that in these
endless days of conflict around the world, that it is
women who should lead the way in supporting those left
behind and in need of financial assistance and comfort
– then this is your opportunity to help both women
and their children - you may already know of someone
who is in this sad position. If you have some spare
time and want to contribute to the running of this great
80-year old organisation, then this is your chance –
YOUR SKILLS ARE NEEDED.
VOLUNTEERS are the backbone of hundreds of local services
around the country – tin-rattling to raise funds
to support local enterprise, meals on wheels, hospital
driving, sponsorship for a new play park or school equipment,
sponsorship for a friend running the marathon and raising
funds for a very good cause – you are likely to
have contributed to a number of these already. So who
does the administration at local level; who counts the
money – our volunteers and members. Perhaps you
have the odd hour to spare and want to put something
personal back into the community – then you can
as a member of the Women’s Section.
Maybe
you are fun-loving or perhaps a little bit lonely? Then
join us and make many new friends, enjoy the companionship
and the laughter – you will not regret a single
moment! Perhaps you are ex-Service and the ceremonial
side of life and the uniform gave you that sense of
belonging to a really respected organisation, then that
is also available for those of you who are interested
– most of us just watch and admire.

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
thatched to prevent rain washing them away. Nowadays they
are generally tiled.

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.
