Aberystwyth Lions Club’s 41 Charter night was last Saturday at The Marine Hotel.

The 2015-2016 Club President Award was awarded to Aberystwyth Lions Club president Benjamin Manluctao by the international president Jitsuhiro Yamada.

He said of the winner: “He has shown dedication to lead his club, maximize its potential and find new ways to serve communities.

District Governor Keith Wilding said to Ben: “The work your club has been doing with your local community and overseas, in fundraising and welfare, with membership and socially, just go to show why you have been justly awarded the Club President 7 Keys to Success Award, the only one awarded in our district.”
