Australian Lionsonoz is a very special and different type of Lions Club.

Australian Lionsonoz was set up to cater for those Lions who have become "Grey Nomads". It gives wandering Lions the opportunity to stay in touch with like minded Lions and to attend Club meetings on the Internet.

Our meetings are through Windows Messenger and we "meet" at 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start on the third Monday  of the month.

Members are constantly in touch throughout the month through Windows Messenger.

Australian Lionsonoz is also valuable to Lions who find themselves in a town without a Lions Club or a town which does not accept women members.

Members are entitled and encouraged to attend Lions meetings or projects in the towns they visit.

At the end of their travels, if they wish they can transfer back to a Lions Club in the area in which they choose to settle or remain a member of Australian Lionsonoz.

Australian Lionsonoz was presented with their Charter at the Multiple District Convention in Melbourne by the International President, Lion Al Brandel on Friday 1st May 2009.

Our Bulletin Editor is Lion Stewart Payne sagr.payne@bigpond.com

Items for the Australian Lionsonoz Bulletin are to be submitted by 20th of the Month.

Please advise the Secretary Lion Paul Cone on his mobile 0408611329 or email lionsonoz@district201n1.org.au if you need more information.

Australian Lionsonoz does not have an Activity Account. Therefore we raise no money from the public, nor do we donate money to causes. We meet the needs of our local communities and the world by assisting local Lions Clubs in their projects.

Our membership hovers around 50 members as members join or transfer from their home club for the duration of their travels and then re join a local Lions Club when their travels are over. 

Join us in making our communities and the world better places to live.

While our members are travelling this great land of ours, it is usually the man who drives and the lady who sits in the passenger seat and knits and knits etc. for the Lionsonoz Knitting Project.

These knitted items are distributed to a wide range of recipients who appreciate the effort put in to them.
We support Hope Bears who give comfort and support to those undergoing treatment for cancer and other serious illnesses. Hope Bears also support Ronald McDonald House. We knit bed socks, soft toys, teddies, beanies, mittens, knee rugs, basket purses, love cushions and shawls .
We also help the Miracle Babies Foundation with booties, beanies and jackets. We also support Guardian Angels and Father Riley’s Youth off the Street with beanies and scarves as well as the popular “Wraps With Love” project.

We are receiving knitted garments from our own Lionsonoz members as well as Lions from other Lions Clubs as well.

Our Ring Pull Project   Ring Pulls are being saved by Club members on their travels as well as various centres have been set up to gather and save these Ring Pulls for us. The Holy Trinity Primary School and the Ross Hill Primary school at Inverell NSW collected over 100kg last year.

The children were all really enthusiastic about this.

Lions Brenda & Stewart of Lionsonoz and Lion Bill of Inverell McIntyre Lions Club survey the latest collection.

Funds raised from this project helps to support the Lions Spinal Cord Fellowship.
For more information on this project please contact Lions Brenda or Stewart Payne on 0414258644, or lionsonoz@lionsdistrict201n1.org.au

We also collect used postage stamps and these are sent to the Lions Club of South West Rocks NSW Rocks who process these and then send the proceeds to the Lions Children’s Mobility Fund.
