Mellor Lacrosse Club are saddened to announce the passing of ex Club
President Arthur Shaw.

It is with great sadness that Mellor Lacrosse Club announce the death of our ex-
President Arthur Shaw on Monday 1st December.

Arthur went to Manchester Grammar School and subsequently joined Old
Mancunians Lacrosse Club before joining Mellor on the 21st November 1955.

He was a very speedy centre before moving into defence a position he held until he
finished playing in 1978.

Away from the playing field Arthur was a stalwart of the Club and is currently the
longest serving Treasurer and President and loyally served the club in a variety of
roles for a combined 22 years:

1957-58 A team Vice Captain
1958-59 & 1959-60 A team Captain
1960-61 Publicity Secretary
1968-69 B team Vice Captain
1971-72  B team Captain

Our longest serving Treasurer from 1961 to 1977
Our longest serving President from 1978 to 1983

Arthur was extremely proud that his family are still involved in Mellor Lacrosse as this
was such an important part of his life.

On behalf of the club, we'd like to pass on our sincere condolences to Arthur's family.

For those who would like to attend Arthur’s funeral, it will be held at St Thomas’s
Church, Mellor at 12.30pm on Tuesday 16th December, followed by the opportunity
to share memories and celebrate his life with family and friends at The Royal Oak.
