Warwick Lions Club was formed in October 1960 and in 1964 Charter Member Frank Denby became President. Lion Frank rose to become District Governor of what was then 105B in 1970, a vast District of which the present 105M (for Midlands) was a sub-division formed in 1975. Frank masterminded the formation of thirteen clubs in 105M:-
Coventry 1963, Leamington 1967, Shakespeare 1967, Rugby Rokeby 1968, Northampton 1969, Solihull 1969, Kenilworth 1970, Coleshill 1970, Daventry 1970, Southam and District 1971, Wellesbourne and District 1972, Wolverhampton 1973, and Balsall Common 1974.
There is a fourteenth club Banbury, formed in 1969, but it is in another district. A further 39 Lions clubs can claim their descent through the 13 children of Warwick. Together these clubs comprise about 80% of 105M! Frank, who died in 1988, was a Lion for over 26 years.
When Frank died his widow presented his old car badge to the club and in 1994 Lion President Bernard Cookson OBE had it mounted on a wooden block with a plate to record the recipients.
In 2011 Lion President Alan Lettis refurbished the trophy, but the badge was kept in its original condition. So far the following Lions have been awarded the trophy for their outstanding service to Warwick Lions:-
