In 1985 an advert appeared in the local paper inviting interested people to attend a meeting about the formation of a Lions Club in Droitwich. This was the work of Lion Alec Little who lived in Droitwich but was a member of Bromsgrove Lions Club. So he became the guiding Lion and Bromsgrove is our mother club. It took a few such meetings but eventually we had enough men (in those days it was men only) and were able to form the club.

Those original members are known as Charter members and we still have 5 of them in the club. Alec transferred from Bromsgrove and continued to be a member until his death in 2001. Alec was truly one of those people who were larger than life! . 

I am sure Alec would be delighted that the club he was so instrumental in founding is still going strong some 28 years later. He would be proud of the money we have raised and the good causes we have been able to support over those years. 

As one of the 5 remaining charter members I am proud to remember Alec and his wonderful wife Gwen  as  friends.
