In Memory Of Alex McIntosh
Cluarankwai Judo Club are sad to announce the death of Alex McIntosh.
Alex was 96 years old and was the last of the founder members of Cluarankwai Judo Club, (founded 1949).
Alex was involved in beginner courses and started the ladies section with his wife Joyce. He also coached the junior section from 1967 to 1970.
Always a character, he was also a professional magician and fire eater which took him away from Judo for a few years.
Alex and the other founding members paved the way for the club to become what it is today and their efforts are highly respected by everyone at the club.
