Arnold Bibby was a founder member of Lancaster & Morecambe AC – who sadly passed away in 2019.
He was much loved by club and fellow members and was often down supporting the club on training nights.
He joined Primrose Harriers in 1949 which eventually in 1965 amalgamated with Lunesdale Athletic Club in 1965 to become Lancaster & Morecambe AC.
In 2015 he took part in the club 50th anniversary event and was joined by members young and old when he completed the 50th lap of the track to celebrate 50 years with Lancaster & Morecambe AC
