Twin Clubs
The Eastleigh Lions Club is twinned with clubs in France and Germany.
Rouen, Vallee de la Seine, Lions Club.
Situated on the outskirts of Rouen, this club has been twinned with Eastleigh for over 30 years. Joint ventures have taken place and regular contact is maintained between the clubs by our international relations officer.
The Rouen Club is celebrating its 50th anniversary on 12th May, 2012 and Lion President Devan attended their celebrations, and donated a banner to mark the event. The banner conveyed Eastleigh's best wishes on their anniversary and commemorated the close links between the clubs.
Kornwestheim Lions Club
Contact with this club began when our international relations officer noted that Eastleigh's twin town of Kornwestheim was forming a Lions Club, in fact the first correspondence received by the new club was from Eastleigh Lions wishing them all success. Regular visits to each others club take place every year (one direction or the other).
For some years there has been a joint venture with the club to support a children's hospital in Kimry, Russia.

TWIN CLUBS TO VISIT DUBLIN
In a change from the past it has been decided that Kornwestheim and Eastleigh met in Dublin in June, 2011, to celebrate the ongoing links between our clubs.
A party of thirty met in Dublin and a full schedule of events including dog racing, live Irish dancing and music, many meals, and cultural visits, including the Guiness Storehouse. New friends were made and the links between the clubs strenghtened. Good 'Craic' all round,expecially after a few Guinesses (it tastes so different in Eire).
