The Lion Club started January by rounding up the 12 days of festive giveaways by gifting 12 Lioness NFT’s to 12 lucky winners. The daily competitions saw a total of 213 entrants within the community and 42 Lions bought from the Opensea marketplace. Who said January was boring?

The lads even won a signed Patterson jersey, and vlogged the entire trip for us to enjoy vicariously. You can watch their experience on our YouTube channel HERE.
