Solihull Clubs torch relay help acknowledged

   

 

Following last month’s Olympic torch relay through Solihull when 54 Lions from Balsall Common, Birmingham Exhibition, Castle Bromwich, Knowle & Dorridge, Shirley and Solihull joined together to provide the stewarding, the Lions were invited to a Civic reception to acknowledge all their help.

Councillor Ken Hawkins, Mayor of Solihull addressed the assembly of those Lions who could make the reception and thanked them for all their hard work with the Torch Relay. The Mayor followed this up by making individual presentations of an Olympic Pin to each Lion and then asked the Lions to join him for drinks and nibbles.

The evening concluded with photo shoots of the Mayor with each of the 5 Clubs involved plus one major photo of all the Lions.
