Remembrance Certificate
At our last meeting for this year became a very special event, this being a partner’s night with special guests Bob and Jane Hollaway from Armidale Dumaresq Lions Club. Bob had come to the Guyra meeting to present Joyce Betts with a Remembrance Certificate that was part of the Lions Convention in Armidale earlier in the year. This certificate was to remember the late Lion James (Jim) Betts and his contribution to Lions, especially to Youth of the Year and the annual senior’s trip. We also helped Joyce celebrate a big birthday.
Christmas Raffle
We have drawn our Christmas raffle with over $1000 dollars worth of prizes at the Guyra Bowling Club on the 12/12/25. We would first of all like to thank the many people of the community that purchased tickets, but most of all the businesses that supplied goods and vouchers for the raffle, following is a list of the businesses and I would hope people could support them because without these businesses like these clubs like ours would not be able to raise money to support school, sporting clubs and people in need.
Guyra Fourways, Sisson’s Family Meats, CT Electrical, Guyra Country Fresh Hot Bread Shop, Khammo’s, Black Mountain Nursery, Darren & Tania Lennon Dasha’s Hardware (now Bishops Hardware), Guyra Pharmacy, Bean Travelling, The Guyra Cafe, Crop Hair Design, Guyra Bowling Club, Costa Tomatoes. What wonderful support they give to all clubs that ask for help. A special thank you to the Bowling Club for letting us sell tickets and draw the raffle at the club.
