In Memoriam

We remember George … our branch has been going since 1994.

This has only been possible with the work and contributions from its many regular participants and supporters. We remember with joy the many artistes who have graced our stage but are sadly no longer with us.

We remember our fellow artists no longer with us - and Brian Edge our founder
