They were voted the best Leo Club in the British Isles for 2008/2009 and were awarded the Royale Cup by the Multiple District.
Two Leo members took part in the Lord Mayor’s Procession in London last November. The Leos also assisted at the District Youth Celebrations on Sunday 15th November 2009, where they sponsored a table of 10 children from the group, Kids Can Achieve.
One Leo member took part in the London Marathon and raised £3500 for Cancer Research!
