Leeds - 29th April to 2nd May 2010
MD105 Celebrates 60 Years of Service
In 2010 the MD105 celebrates its 60th Anniversary, 60 years of outstanding service to communities throughout the British Isles and Ireland.
This is a notable milestone in the history of our Multiple District and the Council of Governors wish to ensure that it is celebrated in a positive way. The main focus of the celebration will take place around the 2010 Multiple District Convention, in Leeds from 28th April to 1st May 2010.
I am honoured to have been invited, by the Council of Governors, to chair a small committee, working alongside Garforth Lions, the Convention Host Club, led by Ian Thornhill.
Together with Council Chairman Andy Pemberton, the 60th Anniversary Committee and Garforth Lions are working to make the Convention weekend a huge success for Multiple District 105 and a fitting way to celebrate our Diamond Jubilee.
A commemorative ‘pin’ has been designed and is available to all members to purchase (all enquiries to MDHQ), the design is shown at the top of this page.
There will be four days of activities, with the Convention taking centre stage. The commemorative events include:
- A 60th Anniversary dinner and show on the Thursday night
- A celebration of the culture variety of the Multiple District on Friday afternoon
- The traditional Friday 'Host Night' will be enhanced around the theme of 'The 60's'
A fabulous Saturday Night of entertainment is being planned, starting with a reception at the Royal Armouries Museum, followed, after dinner, with a spectacular musical display and dancing to one of the best dance bands in the country.
Further information will appear on the MD website and in the Lion Magazine in the run up to this special weekend.
This weekend promises to be something special and we hope you will join us to celebrate.
