Club Supports Bowral Tulip Time Bike Ride

Bowral Lions cooked sausages in the Lions Park in Bowral for the cyclists finishing the Tulip Time cycle ride from Sydney to Bowral via Wollongong and Robertson on Saturday 24 September. The Lions Park on the corner of Bowral Street and Moss Vale Road provided a picture post card setting for the cycle ride finish and the riders enjoyed the Lions sausage washed down with hot tea and coffee. Lions Peter Fleming welcomed the President of the Parkinsons NSW who finished the 160 kilometre ride in cold and wet conditions.
