wonderful way in which the Lions was treated! The food was outstanding, the venue was brilliant! The staff

could not do enough for everyone, nothing was too much trouble! The band was outstanding. The events was

planned with flair and a lot of thought went into each and event .

LP and Convener Leon’s message said:

“Welcome to Rag in Potchefstroom, a Midyear with a

difference! From the first planning session to

where you are reading this now, the Lions Club of

Potchefstroom has pulled together, worked, begged

and slaved away to present you with a Midyear

never to be forgotten.

Our aim is to motivate you, to help you put the fun

back in giving. We are all here for the same reason—

giving time to make our community a better place”.

DG Ivan had this to say— “I'm sure you will all agree

with me it was a wonderful conference, and will not

be forgotten! congratulations!”

The lovely ladies from Warmbad Lions!
