Maleny Blackall Range Lions Club

40th Anniversary of service to our community

The Maleny Blackall Range Lions Club celebrated 40 years of service to the Maleny Blackall Range Community at our recent dinner meeting. The Maleny Blackall Range Club was chartered on the th April 1983 and Roger Jackson (deceased) was the first President. At charter night 29 members were installed as the first members of the club. Chris Symons a current member of our club attended the Installation dinner at the RSL Maleny and remembers it as being a formal affair with 120 guests. He recalls the celebrations going on all weekend.

Numbers dwindled over the years down to about 9 members and when Bill Crawford was inducted in 2005 as President, he set about rebuilding the club to be the strong club it is today.

Clarke Alexander is the longest serving member of the club at this time and he and his wife Lyn introduced the “Iced and decorated Christmas cakes” back in Bill’s time to raise awareness of our Lions Club.

This project is still popular today. Around 2006 Colin Sinclair, who has over 50 years’ service as a Lion, together with his wife Sue, came up with the idea of the Welcome Dinner (now known as the “Meet & Greet”) and this event has proven to be our Annual Signature Lions Project. This event is held every September or early October and with the support of local businesses enables new residents of Maleny to learn about the services our community offers and to meet like-minded people.

The first woman President was Una Robinson 2000- 2002 who now lives in Beerwah, followed by Chrissie Dittmann in 2002-2003 and then Helen Johnston in 2014 and currently 2020 -2023. The Club’s biggest growth in membership was 20 members in 2014 and another 20 members 2015 year during Peter Jensen’s year as President.

Our club grew to 70 members and for practical reasons split into two clubs to service the Range currently The Maleny Blackall Range Lions Club and the Blackall Range Lions Club. Over the years our club has fostered the formation of the Mooloolah Valley Lions Club and the Beerwah Lions Club.

Our Club has won the Maleny District Sports Club Organisation of the Year Award several times and the Lions District 201Q3 Clubs’ Year Award (out of 75 clubs in the district) twice.

The club has a proud record of service to our local community and long may this service continue.

Maleny Players Next Production!

We’re excited to be bringing you 'Dancing with Lughnasa' by Brian Friel- and Directed by Andrew Wallace. Dancing at Lughnasa is a 1990 play set in a cottage in County Donegal in 1936. It’s a household of five unmarried sisters who would all like to be married. The youngest has an illegitimate son, the eldest tries to keep preserve family respectability. But now the father of the child re-appears, full of seductive charm, while an elder brother has just returned after decades working as a priest in Africa and is strangely changed.

In the back hills there are still lingering pagan rituals, Lugh (pronounced ‘Loo’) being the ancient Celtic god of the harvest. The rhythms of family life play out against broader social tensions and economic hardship. You will enjoy meeting these fundamentally good-hearted and resilient people.

At Friday evening performances you are invited to come along at 6pm to purchase a bowl of Irish stew to enjoy whilst being entertained with music on the veranda at the Playhouse.

Please purchase your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

We look forward to seeing you at the Playhouse.
