President of Southborough & District Lions Club, Mrs Christine Forbes together with Mrs Bronnie Verrico visited St Gregory's Catholic School on 28 February 2022, to make a presentation to the winner of the Lions International Peace Poster Competition.

This competition encourages young people between the ages of 11 to 13 to think about peace, creatively express what it means to them and share their unique visions with the world. The theme of the contest this year is: "We Are All Connected".

This is the first year that Southborough & District Lions Club have sponsored a local school to participate and the winner, Olivia, won through District level stage and has now been entered in the National Competition which could reach International level. Olivia was presented with a shield and vouchers from the Club and from District and the school also benefited from a cheque for £100 for participating.

The two runners up, Elvy and Florrie also received vouchers. The shield and the awards were made possible thanks to the generosity of people donating in memory of Lion John Verrico who sadly passed away a year ago.
