By Lion Susan Galea Borg.A visit was made to the Aviation Museum on 15th September 2019 which is especially interesting if you have a family member or friend who served in the RAF.The museum shows the role of aviation in the Second World War and explains their contribution to protect Malta.Some of our members watched a video of Malta being bombed in WW2.There is an interesting range of exhibits that we could get up close to.We saw wartime aircraft and also post-war jets…..A Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, de Havilland Tiger Moth, Piper L4, Douglas Dakota 1V, Fairey Swordfish and others.Some jets seen are de Havilland Vampire 11, Hawker Sea Hawk and Gloster Meteors. We also saw land-based vehicles. Uniforms and memorabilia also form part of the collection.The museum also remembers individual men like Sgt. Pilot Tony Boyd who died in a Spitfire airplane to save Malta. Many men now lie at rest at Kalkara War Cemetery having died as heroes during 1940-1943.The museum visit was a great success. Many thanks to our guide Mr. Ray Polidano who gave us an excellent tour full of information and historyof Malta’s role in aviation history.Grateful thanks to the family Polidano who take care of and run the museum.This visit was a fundraising event which raised one hundred euros.

In August 2018 Lions Club Sliema organized the first edition of the Lions Charity Cruise. The event brought to the collection of more than 800 euro to support the purchase of guide dogs for blind people.
The Cruise was organized in collaboration with RMYC (Royal Malta Yacht Club) on whose premises a barbecue dinner and a pasta dinner took place to open and close the event.
In the night of falling stars 7 sailing yachts and over 25 between crew members and friends, including a group of fellow Lions from the twinned Club of Licata, left Malta to touch the southern coast of Sicily in the early afternoon.
The participants spent 3 days in Licata, all with a distinctive yellow bracelet from the Lions Club Sliema.
The local Past president Agostino Balsamo opened all the doors for the Maltese delegation to discover the city, in particular Sant’Angelo church, the maritime museum and the old Maltese District.
A special welcome came from the Mayor Giuseppe Galanti and other members of the City Council during the visit.
Nice weather, delicious food and wonderful company were the perfect frame to relaxed days in the spirit of friendship and solidarity.
The group sailed back to Malta from Scoglitti after spending a few more days in the city.
In the conclusive dinner a participation present was distributed to all the boat owners by the charity cruising committee and a special trophy was awarded to the best average per capita donor and thus winner of this edition: boat 4US.
A special thanks goes to all the volunteers who made all of this possible.
The great success of the event will most certainly lead to new amazing editions in the following years.
