At the recent Lions Club Sliema awards ceremony at the Marsa Sport Club, long serving members and non-members who had provided extraordinary service to the club were honoured.
The Melvin Jones award, the highest honour that Lions International bestows on members, was given to Tom Restall, the current Malta zone chairman and longstanding club member, and Ian Lochhead, the founder, longstanding member and staunch supporter of the Lions Club Sliema Arts Funds for many years.
