When you read this the Summer sun will be setting a little earlier & the shadows just that bit longer, are we preparing for the Autumn ~ where’s the rain we all moan about !! I have not heard anyone complaining it is too wet {yet} !! Please enjoy the last golden rays of the summer, believe it or not when you read this we will be on the slippery slope to Autumn. Oh dear !..
The Melville Club Flag is still flying strong & we are still doing our very best to support our loyal members. We have a few plans for the late summer & hopefully bring some joy & excitement. Remember ~ smile….

Defibrillator.
The Defibrillator has now been purchased & delivered, at long last. Once installed into the Melville Club we have requested Derek Mattinson Training {based in the Redhouse} to train us on how to use it. Once the internal Defibrillator has been purchased & fitted, we will embark on the purchase of an external Defibrillator.

‘Dr’ Paul Morton 100 Years: 7th August 2022.
The Melville Club pushed the boat out & gave Paul a wonderful 100th Birthday Party. We had a buffet, entertainment, Raffle & a sing along. Paul along with his family really enjoyed themselves & it was such a happy occasion, it just went all so well & everyone was happy, a joy to see the Melville Club serving its members in the best way we can. Thank-you to everyone who made that day so special for Paul.
Citizen Advice Bureau {CAB}: Melville Club Assistance.
Very mindful how important CAB {based in Albrighton Surgery} is to the local community. It has proved a lifeline to so many who have used it. To this end The Melville Club has recently given £3200 to help fund this worthy service. We do have plans on the horizon to support CAB again in the future.
