AncientBlue Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It is with very great sadness this morning, that MISA has received news of the passing away of Melvyn Ellingham. Melvyn was a founder member and long serving committee member of MISA and will be greatly missed He had a very long and hard fought battle with his illness, but sadly succumbed to it yesterday - R.I.P. Melvyn old mate. I'm sure we will be making a more lengthy post to his memory later, but if somebody could make this post sticky we will keep you all up to date with further details.
