We had successful boot fairs, near Rolvenden Station, on the 22nd June and on the 28th September- thanks to all who came along and supported these enjoyable events.

The 2008 Tenterden May Fair benefited from a lovely sunny day. The Lions were there with a cuddly lion tombola & darts game and the Lions Ladies ran a second hand book stall & children's tombola.

Back in 2007, an excellent day out was had by many as the Tour de France cycle race sprinted through Tenterden on Sunday July 8th. The Lions were able to help by providing car parking and at the same time raising money for good causes. Our thanks to all who supported us. For more information click Tour de France
