After 30 years of using a makeshift shed at the Bangalow Showground for their bar and barbecue, the Bangalow Lions Club have opened their newly constructed Lions Kiosk.
The club’s management say they had persevered with the old building until 2019, ‘when a severe thunderstorm during the Bangalow Show exposed how dangerous the building was’.
Secretary, Richard Millyard, says crowds were forced to shelter under a makeshift tent, constructed with tarpaulins. ‘As the tarpaulins filled with water, they had to be cut with knives to release the pressure before the whole structure fell down’.
