Runaway Bay Lions Club

Runaway Bay is coastal suburb located on the northern reaches of the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The development of Runaway Bay started in 1972 to transform the subdivision into a residential and boating area. The name "Runaway Bay" was coined to promote the area as a tranquil retreat.

Runaway Bay Lions Club strives to serve the suburbs of Runaway Bay, Hollywell, Paradise Point, Coombabah, Biggera Waters, Anglers Paradise, Labrador, Arundel and surrounding areas.

Ordinary people doing extraordinary things - supporting a diverse range National programs in Health, Youth and Disabled.

Underpinning all our program is a whole range of local initiatives, based in our local community, to serve our local community

We meet twice monthly, 7pm, on the second Wednesday of each month we hold our Business Meeting and we hold a dinner meeting on the fourth Wednesday of each month.The Business meeting venue is usually Paradise Point Uniting Church and Dinner meeting venue is usually Dublin Docks Tavern
