Billingshurst & District Lions Club (November 2025)
A Timely Reminder about the Lions Bookshop in Jengers Mead.
With Christmas just over the horizon, here is a timely reminder to consider visiting Billingshurst & District Lions Club Charity Bookshop in Jengers Mead, where you will discover an eclectic selection of
excellent quality pre-loved books and Jigsaws at reasonable prices.
You’ll find - Thrillers, Romance, Crime and Detection;
Autobiographies of the rich and famous;
Gardening and DIY for the practically inclined;
Cars and Motorbikes for the mechanically minded;
Planes, Boats and Trains, some for nostalgia;
Wartime stories of bravery and daring;
Books on History, Art, Poetry and Classics; Exercise,
Health, and Well Being; Cookery for a variety of tastes;
Travel Guides for home and abroad; Maps and Local History
whilst not forgetting Humour, for a smile during the festive season!
Billingshurst Lions encourage all children to explore the joys of reading,
arranging Book Give-Aways at Primary Schools and Pre-Schools,
whilst in the Bookshop, there are a variety of carefully checked books,
including annuals, for ‘Tots to Teens’, ideal for a Christmas stocking.
Alternatively, there are Jigsaws above the bookshelves
- originally for teaching Geography in the 18th century,
with maps glued on wood cut around the countries with a Fretsaw,
then a Jigsaw, hence - Jigsaw Puzzles;
modern versions bringing hours of pleasure.
Failing that, Lions Bookshop Vouchers can make an ideal gift,
when for a modest sum, friends and family can enjoy choosing
several items of their choice; Paperbacks - £1.00,
Hardbacks and Jigsaws -£2.00, with quality volumes slightly higher.
There are free bookmarks,
with a reminder of all the genres generally available.
- And don’t forget to “Feed the Lions” by returning those collecting jars.
President, Dominic Roberts, says, “We are very proud of our Bookshop,
which since 2001, has become an institution in the village,
whilst raising over £850,000.00, allowing the Club
to provide valuable support throughout our “District”.
Our sincere thanks to all our loyal supporters,
donators and customers - we couldn’t do it without you.”
