What do we do?
• we help people in our community by giving our time and skills
• we raise money for worthy local causes and national charities
• we have fun and enjoy being together
Who are we?
We’re everyday people who like to help others. We give up our time and energy so we can make a positive difference in our community. We also fundraise for communities in need around the world.
Is it just a NZ thing?
The Rangiora Lions Club is one of thousands of Lions clubs worldwide.
Lions is the world’s largest volunteer service organisation with over 1.4 million people. Although we don’t know most of them, we get on pretty well with those we meet, achieve great things in our community and have a lot of fun doing it.
How does our community benefit?
Rangiora Lions directly help community groups and individuals in the North Cantebury area. Also, our community (and country) can benefit from humanitarian funding from the international Lions organisation. For instance, Lions gave over $1 million to help Christchurch rebuild after the city was rocked by earthquakes in 2010/11.
How do I join the Rangiora Lions Club?
If this looks and sounds like something you’d be into, have a look around the site and find out more.
Membership is by club member invite and you’d get a better idea if you took part in an activity or two before deciding.

CALLING LAST ORDERS.
Rangiora Lions are calling last orders on our pig/horse manure. We will be finishing up on the last Saturday of October then the team who are out bagging and delivering the manure to your gardens will be putting their feet up before Christmas comes knocking at our doors.
Please look out for our ad in the local papers or get in touch with us and we will pass the message on.
The Rangiora Lions club will like to thank the community/communities who have supported us over this year by purchasing our pig/horse manure.
Cheers

We get this every year, really helps break up the soil. Highly recommend.
How much is it please ?
Watch this space over the next few weeks. Rangiora Lions are looking forward to this project you may off heard this mentioned on Compass FM not long ago. We are starting to warm up for this amazing project and getting the cobwebs off our shovels after them being put away for the winter months.🎈EXCITING UPDATE!! 🥳🐶🫶
Plans for the new Agility area at the Milton Reserve Dog Park are well underway!
The Rangiora Lions Club hopes to start construction in the next few weeks.
While the agility features are being installed and for everyone's safety, that part of the park will be unavailable to the public. But when it is finished, we hope to have a fantastic fun area for both large and small dogs to enjoy.
The Friends of the Rangiora Dog Park and the Rangiora Lions Club are funding the entire project from money and donations they have raised from the community. The work is all being done by voluntary labour. If any park users would like to offer assistance and help for a few hours each Saturday morning for a few weeks as we build these agility stations, please get in contact with us, as we would love to have help and share the fun of the build.
The Lions Club is also on the look-out for a few pieces of equipment to save them having to hire them. First a small digger suitable to level the sites where the agility features are to be put and also possibly to scrape a path around the agility park to form a walking loop. We also would like to have the use of a posthole driller to enable us to place the foundations of the features. If anyone has suitable piping or trenching equipment that would enable us to extend the water line from the existing sheter in the large dog park out and into the agility area so we can have a water trough in that park as well, please let us know. The more we can have in donated time or equipment the more we can spend on other ways of developing this area. If anyone has this equipment and would like to allow us to use it, please let the Rangiora Lions Club know.
Thank you all for giving us ideas on additional features we should put in the park, and we plan to keep adding features as budgets allow. These range from additional agility features to a memorial/memory garden, more seats, a defibrillator, a notice board and additional rubbish bins.
