Swinton Lions Rugby League Football ClubHeritage association

The Swinton Lions Heritage Association
The Swinton Lions Heritage Association is a new concept which aims to celebrate, commemorate, honour and preserve all aspects of the club’s glorious and not so glorious history!
The Heritage Association very much fits in with our mantra of “One Club, One Vision”, which aims to bring all matters relating to the club under a single dedicated and overseeing umbrella.
The Heritage Association will have a number of principal aims :
Past Players
At Swinton Lions we have the utmost respect for all of history’s Lions and Lionesses who have pulled on our famous blue jersey.
The launch of the Heritage Association will enable the club to formalise its relationship with these past players.
The Heritage Association will regularly invite former players to matches as special guests of the club; organise Heritage Certificates for past players or their families, as well as organise special events.
Included amongst these special events will be a big annual reunion, as well as the re-launch of our Hall of Fame with a fresh intake of inductees.

Celebrate Our History
The Heritage Association will produce written, oral and visual content, not only for our social media and online channels, but also in hard copy form.
Preserve Our History
The Heritage Association, in conjunction with private collections, will seek to preserve and share for the purpose of viewing, all manner of club related memorabilia.
Heading up the Lions Association committee will be lifelong supporter Ian Jackson, a lecturer in economics at Wolverhampton University.
The committee will comprise of personnel with expert knowledge from both inside and outside of the club.
LAUNCH EVENT
The Swinton Lions Heritage Association will be formally launched at a special event to be held at the Ellesmere Golf Club, on Friday 14 March 2025 (from 7pm).
Tickets will be available soon, and will include food on the night. Please keep this date free in your diaries and look out for further information. It should be a memorable evening!
