HEREFORD Lions Club has signed up its first female members.
The pioneers of this former all male club are Sian Bayliss, a retired nurse and Celia Field also retired who was a drug awareness tutor to public sector organisations.
Their husbands, Richard and Allan have also become members of the community service club which has played a key role supporting local charities since 1960.
Two couples joining is also a first for the 40 strong club.
Club president Ian Foster said: “Women have an important part to play in helping the worldwide Lions International organisation, this year celebrating its 100th anniversary build on its reputation as a global community support leader, and Hereford Lions are delighted to welcome Sian and Celia as our first lady members.”
