Dave Ebsworth Award
for Environmental Effort
This Award is continuing.
This award was presented by DG Dave to the Club or Zone which has made the greatest impact on maintaining or improving the Environment within 105SC.
In 2026 this award was presented to Eastleigh Lions Club for recycling spectacles, milk bottle tops and blister packs as well as supporting a community garden. Their teddy tombola ensures 'unwanted teddies' are given a new home. They are champion litter pickers and even their Secret Santa at Christmas challenges Lions to buy presents for each other from charity shops.
In 2025 it was presented to Hook and Odiham Lions Club for their continuing work in carrying out Litter Picks and recycling of difficult materials.
In 2024 it was presented to Reading Lions Club for their care of a lock.
It was presented for the first time in 2023 to Hook and Odiham Lions Club.
It could be awarded for one particular action such as a Beach Clean, Litter Pick or Tree Planting or for a number of smaller actions during the year. These could be recycling projects such as collections of spectacles, foil packaging from tablets, bras, tins and glass or anything else that can be reused. It could also be awarded to a club that works with another group to help the environment including working with your local council on planting up flower beds. Taking part in the Environmental Photographic Competition will also count. In fact anything to improve or maintain our Environment will be considered by the GST Committee and the DG team.
To enter please complete the Competition Entry Form and return to me by 28th February 2026 so that judging can take place before Convention.
