The Day of Market Rasen Christmas Fayre is finally here and hopefully the worst of the rain has stopped.We look forward to seeing you in the Festival Hall for crafts, gifts and refreshments.
With all that’s going on this week with the Santa routes and Christmas Fayre at the Festival hall this Saturday I nearly forgot that our Market Rasen lions Club Book Stall on Sunday at the Hemswell indoor Market 0700- 1300 is still going strong. I know the weather doesn’t look good but as the name suggests it’s indoors where it’s dry and it’s worth a trip out. We’ve got 1000’s of books for all tastes and ages. So if you want to find some decent books at reasonable prices this is the place to go or if you have quality books you wish to donate drop them off and look for more reading material

Ceremony of the Laying of Wreaths – Market Rasen War Memorial This morning at 11:00 am, representatives from numerous organisations gathered at the Market Rasen War Memorial to take part in the solemn Ceremony of the Laying of Wreaths. The event paid tribute to all those who have lost their lives in times of war, honouring their sacrifice with dignity and remembrance. The Market Rasen Lions Club was represented by Jayne Hollingsworth, who laid a wreath on behalf of the Club as part of the service. We extend our gratitude to all who attended and participated in this meaningful act of remembrance.
Hi Everyone Santa's holidays are nearly over and he's asked the Market Rasen Lions Club to decorate the sleigh with a new theme in time for Christmas.

Market Rasen Lions Club: What We Do Many people ask us about the purpose of the Market Rasen Lions Club. As volunteers, our primary mission is to raise money to assist those in need, and our efforts have both local and global reach. Locally: We respond to needs within our own community. This includes providing direct aid to individuals and families in crisis—for example, replacing furniture after a fire or buying a washing machine for a family who couldn't otherwise afford one. We also regularly support our local food bank and other charitable initiatives. Nationally and Internationally: When disaster strikes, we join with fellow International Lions Clubs to provide support. Responding to emergency alerts, we contribute financial assistance to the Lions Club nearest to the affected area, helping communities recover from events like floods and earthquakes. Our members are all unpaid volunteers who find great satisfaction in our work, building lasting friendships, and connecting with like-minded people in the community. We would welcome new members to join our club who have some spare time to join in our fundraising activities. Please contact our Membership Lion Lis via phone or email. 07715622885 or info@marketrasenlionsclub.co.uk
