In addition to a light tea supplied by the Lions and their partners (surprisingly known in the Club as Lions Tamers!!), Surrey Police Choir sang a popular range of songs with most of their audience joining it.

After a short break a small pride of thespian Lions and friends presented a number of skits and songs That were thoroughly enjoyed by all present.

The Mayor of Guildford Tamsy Baker was also present for the afternoons entertainment and thanked the Lions for all their hard work for the older generation in Guildford.

She said "As Mayor I have met many groups around the town, but none work so hard and with such commitment as the Lions Club, Our thanks to them for all their hard work throughout the year."

Responding Lion Club President Keith Hamblin thanked the Surrey Police Choir for their excellent renditions of popular songs and to the Lions Strolling Players.

One lady in the audience suggested the Lions Strolling Players should go on the West End, to which  one cynic added - "the West End of Baghdad!"

Another party for the elderly is due to be held at the Riverside Centre in a few weeks time.
