new Lions, but included 
the presentation of the Lions Club of the Year Perpetual Trophy to our Club. The shield is awarded annually to a Lions Club in Tasmania which has demonstrated the best all-round performance within the purposes of the organization. At the District Convention held in Hobart 13-15 November, it was announced that the shield had been awarded to the Lions Club of Rocky Cape/Stanley. The presentation was made by Smithton Lions Club President, Lion David Johns, and was accepted by our 
President, Lion Craig Williams. This was a stunning surprise for all of us, and will act as encouragement for all of the Club and our Lions-in-training, and also vindicates the tireless efforts of the past, present and new members of the Rocky Cape/Stanley Lions Club. A special thanks to the members of the Smithton Lions who came to join us for the evening.A special mention must be made regarding Tail Twisting Lion, "Young" Kevin Radford, who, through his efforts to procure a "Home Base", was not only known as "Councillor" Radford, but has been acknowledged as the Honorary Mayor of Rocky Cape.
