It is with great sadness that we report the death of Patricia Staley who died in February 2024.
The family of our dear lovely Patsy-Ann - a beloved member of the Marlborough Dramatic Club over many years - have set up a Just Giving page in her memory - with donations very kindly requested for the Marlborough. We are truly honoured. Please donate here.
"Grandma was a member for 40 years and enjoyed the company of her many friends there. Acting and directing was a huge part of her life and we hope the society continues for many years to come" - Phoebe Milham
Thank you to everyone who came to our anniversary dinner on Friday 15 March at the Mount Avenue Banqueting Suite. We gathered to celebrate 120 years of the club's existence and enjoyed a lovely dinner, wine and conversation. Chairman Bill Wells also gave a short speech in which he thanked everyone for their contribution to the Marlborough over the years as well as how pleased he was that the club will be producing our next full play (since before the pandemic) in April - 'Visiting Hour' - find out more here.
He also spent some time remembering two club stalwarts who gave a lot to the Marlborough over the years, acting, directing and working backstage and front of house: Janet Cass and Patricia Staley, both of whom have passed away in recent times. Bill also announced that a Cup in Janet Cass' name will be launched this year, to be awarded annually to any club member who has provided great service over that year (acting / backstage / administratively etc.) More news on that in the coming months.
Here are a few more photos of the evening:
