Two members of the Devizes Lions Club have together amassed over 100 years of the voluntary service to the local community. The impressive milestone has been reached as the Club marked the 50th anniversary of its founding. With the support of the local community for over the last five decades, the Devizes Lions have raised many thousands of pounds to help support local people and various charities. Soon after the Club first formed back in 1970, David Bousfield joined, and John Hurley did so a few months later. Over the years they have helped to organise many events of all sorts, ranging from assisting individuals and groups in need of the Lions’ practical or financial help to organising large scale events such as Gymkhanas and the May or Christmas Fayres.
