TWO major Lions Club events are the latest to succumb to COVID-19 restrictions this year - but the club has vowed to return its annual Swap Meet and Collectables Market, and Carols by Candlelight evening to the local calendar in 2021.

The swap meet was due to be held on November 23, but Wangaratta Lions Club president Alison Kazenwadel said COVID-19 restrictions meant it was not a viable prospect this year.

The same goes for the traditional December Carols by Candlelight event, which has been held in Wangaratta for more than 40 years.
