Members of Maltby (Rother Valley) Lions were happy to support Aston Carnival yesterday. A great day was had by all and we had several visitors to our Tombola stall and new Wheel of Fortune, made by our President Dave Parker. Cllr Jenny Andrews, Lord Mayor of Rotherham and Cllr Jenny Mallinder, Lady Mayoress paid us a visit along with a member of Dinnington Brass Band and Zubaidah Belly Dancers and of course everyone who donated to MRVL at our stall and at our Wheel of Fortune. Thank you for your continued support. Lion Pat distributed numerous “Message in a bottles” which we are happy to supply to the community for assistance in emergencies.
Yes, it’s that time of year again, when we start to get excited about Aston Carnival which has been running since 2005.

A lovely afternoon was had by all and it makes it even better to know that funds raised will go to helping folk in our local communities.Complimentary Food & Hot Drinks will be provided.
It’s that time again, when our annual Christmas Carol Concert is in sight. Last year it was an absolute success and was enjoyed by everybody that attended. As ever, Anston Male Voice Choir gave a fantastic performance and brought us all into the start of the Christmas festivities.
