Nielson, introduced three visitors, Jim McLardie, Secretary of Australian Lions, Jim Casey, President of Maryborough Lions Club, and Kev Clifford, member of Maryborough Lions Club.Jim McLardie announced that he was in Bundaberg to assist Maryborough in forming a Lions Club in Bundaberg. After addressing the gathering it was generally agreed that a club should be formed. Two former Lions now resident in Bundaberg, Col Bourke (headmaster, West State School) and John Male (manager, Woolworths) along with John Crossley became the local committee to identify potential members for a new club.
