Her passing brings to an end her 20 year+ fight against diabetes, which finally led to the failure of multiple organs in her body. She remained cheerful to the end and suffered no lasting pain. She was a wonderful wife, mother and passionate Lion.
Judith was Club President in 2006/7, 2016/17, 2022/23 & 2023/24.
Judith was latterly Club secretary at the time of her passing having taken up the position in 2024.

Lion Byron Hughes
Chippenham Lions Club
I regret to advise you that Lion Byron Hughes passed away on Sunday 28th October. He was just 3 months short of achieving 50 years of service, all within Chippenham Club.
He had been club President on 5 occasions and chaired all committees over the years.
He had been Twinning Officer ever since the club twinned with the Lions Club of Durtal/La Fleche in 1981.
He was a Melvin Jones Fellow and the Organiser and Sergeant in Arms for the District Convention in District 105W for many years.
He had stood in as Tailtwister at the club's meeting just a few days before his passing and was on his usual good form fining members for misdemeanors real or imaginary, but always with a laugh and smile.
He had a great singing voice and as a Bass Baritone, he had been a soloist for Treorchy, Dowlais and Maesteg Male Voice choirs over the years. If there was any singing, you could always hear Byron's magnificent voice rising above all others!
He will be greatly missed by the members and partners of Chippenham Club for many years to come.
I know that he received a further award which I believe was a Bert Mason Humanitarian Award but this was before computerisation of International records and I cannot confirm this.
