OUR LOCALITY - GWANDALAN

Gwandalan and Summerland Point share a peninsular on the southern reaches of Lake Macquarie, Central Coast NSW. The two towns, with a total population of about 5000, live and work closely together.There is a large percentage of retirerees but a rapid growth in new housing development over the last 5 years has seen a significant number of younger people moving to the area. Location makes driving to Sydney on the F3 freeway or to the major industrial centre of Newcastle a reasonable alternative to city housing costs and a busy lifestyle. The pace of life is still that of a small village, with the bonus's of Australia's largest salt water lake and the city of Sydney only a short drive away (80 kms to the south).

Brief History of Gwandalan Lions.

The Club was chartered in 1981 with 35 members and under the sponsorship of Swansea Lions Club.
The “Lion’s Shed” was built in 1982 on a Council reserve in Gwandalan and paper recycling the initial funds raising activity, along with barbeques at local events. The Club maintained an average membership of 30 or so and was incorporated in 1988.
Activities, based at the Lion’s Shed grew steadily to take in aluminum can recycling and finally our ongoing Saturday morning Garage Sales based around second-hand furniture donated by local residents. This was expanded to include quarterly Car-Boot Sales at which the Club’s Chocolate Wheel and Barbeque are successful fund-raisers.
Current membership is thirty one and growing steadily.

IN APPRECIATION

In recognition of the contribution of the Lions Clubs of Turkey, especially Lion Dr. Enzar Tore, in providing free web page hosting for Lions Clubs everywhere, the Lions Club of GWANDALANInc. proudly displays the flag of Turkey on our site.
Click on the flag to go to the web site of Lion Dr. Enzar's home club - the Lions Club of Canakkale.

As an extension to the Turkish Lions' contribution, the Brisbane Ekibin Lions Club of MD 201 Q1 (Australia) offer assistance to Lions Clubs who want to take advantage of the Turkish Lions offer, but are not familiar with web publishing. They've already set up many sites for Lions Clubs world-wide, using Lionwap.
If your club wants to be on the internet, and would like some help, leave a message in the Ekibin Guest Book by clicking on the image above. This is a FREE SERVICE, so you don't spend a cent for their work. As Lionwap is also FREE, this means you get a web site that you NEVER have to pay for. - Is that a deal or what?
All your Club has to do it have some-one update and maintain your page, which needs not take more than a few minutes each month. The Ekibin Lions will even give you some tips on that!
