Basingstoke Lions Variety for Charity Season 2012

For some years The Lions Club of Basingstoke have been presenting entertainment at local venues as a major fundraiser to help good causes in the immediate vicinity and beyond. A large audience has been established over time reflecting the popularity of the type of light entertainment provided and the low price charged for a good night out.

The 2012 season consists of 4 shows, 2 at Costello Technical College and 2 at Queen Mary's Hall.

NB The Variety for Charity Season is one of many ways that The Lions Club of Basingstoke raise funds for good causes. There is an annual Swimathon on March 3, a Charity Cycle Ride in the summer and 2 Quiz Nights each year.
All these events require manpower which is in short supply. However they are fun to organise and it is a meaningful use of time. Anyone wishing to help or even better wanting to join our organisation will always be most welcome. More information about The Lions on the club website www.basingstokelions.org.uk
