RESOURCE SUPPLIERS

The following list of suppliers is maintained by Brighton Lions Club for the benefit of other Lions Clubs (and, indeed, other charities) in the UK.  None of the suppliers has paid or asked to be included in the list.  There are doubtless many other similar suppliers, but those listed here have been used by Brighton Lions Club or have been recommended by members of other Lions Clubs which have used them.  Despite the foregoing, no liability can be accepted by Lions Clubs International, Brighton Lions Club, any other Lions Club or any member of any Lions Club. 

The details are believed to be accurate, but please advise the webmaster of any updates using the form at the foot of this page.  The form can also be used to suggest the names of suppliers to be added to this list.

Comments:

Possibly the most comprehensive list of outdoor entertainers.  Peter (a fellow Lion) and his staff couldn't be more helpful.  But please remember - this is how Peter earns his living, so don't expect discounts from the list prices.
