Well Spring is here {with the rain!}.. It is a Pleasure to get out at last & enjoy the sun shining, the birds singing & all the colourful flowers popping their heads up. The Melville Club is ideal for the residents of Albrighton & we have lovely gardens, thank all the members for their support, help & understanding.

Recent Passing of Mr. Ivor Denning

Sadly, Ivor has recently passed away following a fall. Ivor was a huge supporter of the Melville Club years ago & once he lost his wife, we did not see him for quite a while. His daughters would quite often accompany him as his eyesight has not been too good. We all have happy & fond memories of Ivor & we are the better for knowing him. We miss you Ivor & thank you for all the hard work you have put in to make the Melville Club so popular & friendly.  We extend our condolences to all his family.
