A local charity organisation has been busy helping a local group and planting daffodil bulbs to brighten up the town.
Bridlington Lions Club also received a request for help from the East Coast Majorettes who meet for practice sessions at Emmanuel Church on Cardigan Road.
The majorettes had appealed for financial assistance due to the troupe membership growing rapidly and the need for new uniforms.These will be used in the numerous competitions that they attend (and often win) all over the region and beyond.
Lions President Ruth Saxby, explained: “Several of our Lions and our mascot Alfie visited the majorettes during one of the training evenings and we watched some of their wonderful routines.
“The young people all seemed to be having a lovely time and Alfie went down a storm.
“Whilst there, we happily presented them with a cheque for £500 and we wish them well for all their future endeavours.” added Ruth.
East Coast Majorettes will also be performing at the Bridlington Lions Carnival and Fun Day at Limekiln Lane on Sunday 6th August.
The Lions also welcomed a new member into their group. Jean Hodgson (pictured with president Ruth Saxby), has already enthusiastically immersed herself in many activities and was present at an energetic dig along with several local college students.
Together, the Lions and the students helped to plant around 1000 daffodil bulbs next to the St Wilfred Road entrance to Queensgate Park.
The bulbs were kindly donated by East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
