I have just visited your website and found a black and white photo of one of your postwar productions. It is a scene from "The Middle Watch", by Ian Hay and the man in the middle in uniform saluting, is S E Crookell, my father, in the role of Marine Ogg. He acted in and produced many plays before the war and for more than a decade afterwards. He was Chairman of WGRS in the 1950s and died in 1964. My contribution to the society was selling boxes of chocolates before the performance started and while the Green Room quarter (including Kathleen McGhie and Laurence Povall, played.
Thank you for the memories,
Pamela Shafe (nee Crookell)
