About Us
We are called Hook and Odiham Lions Club because it's a bit of mouthful to call us "North and South Warnborough, Upton Grey, Greywell, Long Sutton, Hartley Wintney, Winchfield, Newnham, Mattingley, Hook and Odiham and all the other villages in between Lions Club!"
Basingstoke, Loddon Valley, Yateley, Fleet and Farnham Lions Clubs are some of our neighbours and we fill in the bit in the middle. This bit in the middle covers more people and ground than some small towns!
So you folks who live in North and South Warnborough, Upton Grey, etc, etc ...don't feel left out just because you're not in our name. We are part of you too and proud to be so!
What is the Lions organisation?
Lions is an international organisation with clubs in over 200 countries around the world.
Each country that has Lions Clubs is given a number. The 950 or so Lions Clubs in the British Isles and Ireland have been given the number 105. We are therefore known to the Lions World as Multiple District No.105.
Multiple District 105 is then broken down into 13 Districts and the 67 clubs in Hampshire, Berkshire, part of Wiltshire, Dorset, the Isle of Wight, and the Channel Islands are within District 105D. This is further broken down into Zones and Hook and Odiham along with Fleet, Hart, Yateley and Farnborough are in Zone k.
So there you have it, Hook & Odiham Lions Club are in Zone K, which is part of District D, which is part of Multiple District 105 which is just one of about 150 Multiple Districts in the world.
