Mellor Lacrosse Club in Greater Manchester will celebrate its 100th birthday on Saturday with a special Centenary Ball.

Held in the clubhouse at Mellor, the Ball will be a chance for those associated with the club over the years to come together and celebrate a whole century of lacrosse.

A two-course meal will be followed by a series of speeches from members of the Mellor lacrosse community before a live band and party to finish off the night.
