THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT                                                                                               

Latest press release: 'Fireworks back with a bang'

Fireworks 2012The members of Reading Lions Club would like to say a very big thank you to the people of Reading who supported our Fireworks Extravaganza on the 3rd November. Together we managed to raise money that can now be used for local causes and help those in need right here in our own community. The weather was kind, the crowds turned out, the firework show was brilliant and fun was had by all. 

In fact it was so much fun that we may even do it all again next year!

Thanks also go to Pyrotastic Fireworks for putting on such an amazing show, to Reading Town Football Club for allowing us to use the grounds, Reading 107fm for such great promotion and participation, all those local businesses and retailers that supported us, the sponsors of the event programme and not forgetting all those other helpers and friends of Lions that assisted on the night.
