Raising money for St Catherine's in honour of Andy Dale

Andy Dale, who many people will know as a very long-standing and dedicated member of the Copthorne Players, has sadly passed away.

Andy played many, many roles over the years, but if you had to pick a theme, it was the funny ones. I watched him act from my place in the junior chorus, or prompt corner, or sometimes from the audience, and he always made me laugh. He brought that warmth and humour to the rehearsal room too, and was always a hoot backstage. I'm sure many among us will miss him dearly.

We're setting up a fundraiser for St Catherine's Hospice in Andy's honour, as they provided such good and important care for him towards the end of his life. Please give what you can to commemorate a twinkling star of the Copthone Players, and support St Catherine's Hospice.

St Catherine's Hospice is a charity dedicated to providing specialised end of life care and support to local people, their families, friends and carers.
