The City of Burnie Lions Club congratulates two stalwarts of the Wynyard Lions Club, one of our sponsored clubs. Lion Allan Margieson who came to Wynyard on an assisted migration package with his partner to work at Savage River Mines pelletising plant at Port Latta as an electrician. Having settled in Wynyard he joined the Wynyard Lions club 29 years ago. In that time Allan has been a back stay of the club and filled many positions in the club, and has also served on the District Cabinet.
On receiving his award it was one of the few times that he was stuck for words when it was announced that he was to receive the Melvin Jones Fellowship.
Another stalwart in Lion Brian Randall was also taken-a-back when it was announced that he was to receiver the Australian Lions Foundation Willian R Tresise Fellowship Award. Yet another Lion who was stuck for words.
What a great night for both of these Lions on the ocassion of their annual Change Over. 6th June 2009
