Havelock Lions was granted its charter in 1966. Today there are 32 active members who meet once a month, at the Havelock Hotel, in the Dining Room. Members meet at 6pm for a 7pm meal (A 2-course one) on the 3rd Tuesday of the month.
Visitors and members from other clubs are always welcome and should email the Club by the preceding Sunday evening of their intention to visit.
