THE 32nd Business Persons Lunch was attended by 165 people. The Lions hosted a charity auction to raise money for charitable causes, and also formally handed over a brand new motorbike to the Blood Bike Wales, Aberystwyth Chapter. Blood Bike Wales are a group of civic spirited community members keen to make a difference in the life of others. The keys were handed over by Lion president Ben, on behalf of all the officers and members of the club. The motorbike, which cost £9,000, will be used to transport blood supplies, plasma, documents and other items between hospitals. The Blood Bike Wales members will cover outside of normal working hours, during which time the NHS normally use taxis, the police and other couriers to carry vital supplies. This venture will save the NHS a substantial amount of money. At the lunch are (from left): Ben Manluctao, Aberystwyth Lions president; Brian Willey, Aberystwyth Lions Secretary; Phil Bennett OBE, former Welsh and British Lions International; Gareth Hughes, former Lions fund-raising chairman; and David Ebenezer, Lions fund-raising chairman
