A Well-Deserved Honour for Lion John Bignell
Lion John Bignell was genuinely surprised when, at the Bexhill Lions Club November Business Meeting, he was presented with the prestigious Melvin Jones Fellowship Award by Club President Lion Gary Saunders.
John has been a dedicated member of Bexhill Lions Club since 1998 and, over the years, has become a much-valued and well-liked member of the Club.
Always willing to lend a hand, John quietly makes a significant contribution to the work of the Club. He regularly collects unwanted spectacles and transports them to Chichester Lions for recycling, helping to support this worthwhile Lions initiative. He can also always be relied upon to transport equipment to Lions events, ensuring that everything is in place when needed.
Behind the scenes, John undertakes another important role as the official minute-taker at all Club Business Meetings, making sure that discussions and decisions are accurately recorded.
It is often the many smaller acts of commitment, reliability and service that help make a Lions Club what it is, and John exemplifies these qualities.
His surprise at receiving the award made the occasion all the more special, but his fellow Lions know just how thoroughly deserved this recognition is.
Congratulations, John, on receiving your Melvin Jones Fellowship. Thank you for your many years of loyal service and for everything you continue to do for Bexhill Lions Club.
