Lions That Lunch

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon at the stunning South Deep, overlooking the waters of Poole Harbour, for the Lions That Lunch event. Guests will enjoy a delicious three-course meal in this wonderful location, perfect for a festive celebration and networking with fellow supporters of the club.

Our guest speaker for the event is Mark Francis, MD of the Uspire Group and author of The Captaincy. Mark brings over 27 years of commercial experience and has coached sales teams in 42 countries across multiple industries. His work is driven by a passion for leadership, inspired by elite athletes and high performers, exploring what it truly means to lead with courage, vision, and empathy.

In The Captaincy, Mark highlights the four essential traits of great leaders—Positive Intention, Self-Command, Thin-Slicing, and Tribal Fire—showing how these qualities build confidence, sharpen decision-making, and unite people behind a shared purpose. Through powerful stories from sports, business, and beyond, he demonstrates that leadership is not a title, but an ethos: the courage to inspire change.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy a fantastic meal, soak in the stunning harbour views, and gain insights into leadership from one of the UK’s most inspiring speakers.
