Curling for Wellspring with the Hyde Park & District Lions by Pamela Hardbottle The Hyde Park & District Lions Club held their first Annual Curling Bonspiel on Saturday March 8, 2025 at the London Curling Club on Lyle Street in London. The fundraiser was open to the public and all funds raised were donated to Wellspring London. It was a special day for the Lions as people young and old came together for a great cause and fellowship. The Hyde Park & District Leo Club even had a team of youth ages 12 to 18. It was amazing – none of them had ever filed before. A light breakfast was served before the games began. Lion Terry made the soup that was served for lunch along with an assortment of beautiful sandwiches. We enjoyed laughs while selling 50/50 tickets and there were three tables full of donated items for the penny draw. The Hyde Park Lions would like to thank everyone who helped make it a very memorable day while raising funds for Wellspring. See you next year.
