The Lions Club of Yeovil
Yeovil is situated in the South West of England in the County of Somerset.
130 miles from London, 40 miles south of Bristol and on the border
with the County of Dorset.
Yeovil is primarily a Market Town but the largest single employer is Augusta
Westland (formally Westland Helicopters) famous throughout the world for
it’s helicopters.
Originally Yeovil was known for its glove manufacturing and it is still the
home of ‘Pittards’ the internationally famous leather dressers who to date have
supplied us with the leather for our unique club banners.
Yeovil has a population of 40,000 but with the close proximity of many villages has a catchment population of approximately 70,000.
The nearest town is Sherborne, 5-miles
away in Dorset and they also have a Lions Club albeit in District 105 D.
