The Melville Club

Merry Christmas everyone & a very Happy New Year to all our readers. 2023 has been a very turbulent & demanding year for many of us & that’s just the weather !!. Winter is here, so please keep warm. It is extremely difficult to round up this year, I thought the previous years had been demanding, yet Covid era exceeded all our expectations. Our quest is to keep the Melville Club Flag flying & serve.

Farewell to our dear friends

Sadly, we have lost a few Melville Club members through 2023 & maybe a few moments to pause & reflect on their lives & friendship. Ever mindful of those left behind, with the void & loss we all express our compassion & thoughts. Please give a silent prayer to those called to higher service:- Brian & Joan Swann, Bernard Price, Eve Cox, Mavis Taft, Ivor Denning, Pat Joannides & Angel Hughes.
