February 2010 - Third 10K Run

Even though a cold wet morning we still welcomed over 200 runners to the third 10K Winslow Run.

The sun broke out only after all the runners were home but it appeared from what we heard that everyone enjoyed it.

Look forward to seeing you all next year!

December 2009 - Carols in the Square

With plenty of snow around this year it truly set the scene.  Although cold we attracted a lot of the Town to join with us at this special time.

November 2009 - Bonfire and Fireworks in the paddock of Winslow Hall

Saturday 7th November saw the Annual Firework Display.

June was the month Elvis came to Winslow (well Alvin actually!)

A splendid night of Elvis hits sung with all the style and brilliance of Elvis himself. Not only was it great entertainment but we were able to raise over £2000 for local and national charities.

Kayak

May 2007 – Kayak Challenge

Second Winslow Beer Festival

March 2007 – Second Winslow Beer Festival  Visit the Photo Album

We held our second Winslow Beer Festival after the success of the first one in 2006. By increasing the number of sessions by adding a Saturday afternoon one we increased our takings to over £6,000. Thanks to all our sponsors and for the Rt. Hon. Iain Duncan Smith MP for pulling a pint or two!

We featured over 40 beers, lagers and ciders from over 20 breweries from around Great Britain. Keep an eye out for next year’s dates
Carols in the Square

December 2006 - Carols in the Square

 

This has become a regular event for the Lions. Every year we are joined by the St. Laurence Choir the Winslow Concert Orchestra and the towns folk of Winslow, for traditional Christmas Carols in the beautiful surroundings of the Winslow Market Square dressed with decorative lights and the all important Christmas Tree. Somehow Santa always finds out where we are and visits during his busy schedule to say hello to all the children! Maybe it’s the Mulled (non-alcoholic) Wine that attracts him.
Tea Party

June 2007   Visit the Photo Album

 

Party for the ‘Seniors’ of Winslow. It was great to see the ‘senior’ towns-folk enjoying tea and entertainment at our Annual Tea Party. 

 

We look forward to entertaining you all again next year.
Second Winslow Beer Festival

March 2006 – First Winslow Beer Festival   Visit the Photo Album

We held our First Winslow Beer Festival with the support of our local CAMRA friends. The event was opened by local MP John Bercow and proved a great success and allowed us to raise in excess of £4,500 for the North Bucks Air Ambulance, Willen and Florence Nightingale Hospices.

With beer and lagers from over 30 breweries it certainly set the scene for future festivals.
