Women’s Lions club
The first women’s Lions club in New Zealand will be formed in Christchurch this evening. The meeting at Noahs Hotel was organised by Mrs Lynn Ellery, with the help of her husband Miles, the district governor for Canterbury, Westland, and Marlborough Lions. The club would be open to all women, particularly single women who wanted to join or women whose husbands did not, she said. Lions International changed its constitution two years ago to allow women to join men’s clubs or form their own. Since then women’s clubs have been formed in more than 100 countries, with more than 22,000 members.
