Mellon changes name of charity

ON A night of surprise announcements, late on Friday philanthropist Niall Mellon told his army of volunteer builders he is taking his name off the charity he founded.

During a speech, he said he took the advice of his supporters who said the Niall Mellon Township Trust had to be about more than one man.

He also took the opportunity to break the news that two of his volunteers, Alan O’Rafferty and Rachelle Ziglstra, had crowned a highly emotional week by getting engaged after the blitz’s successful conclusion.
