Keep it Under your Hat - the word is out now! |

 Fifty or so members braved the snow on Saturday 4th February to
celebrate the coming of age of one of our most revered members. Leah
Corlett, star of far too many HAODS and Henley Players productions to
mention, thought that she was just going for dinner with a few friends.
Little did she know that the "few friends" turned out to have
organised supper and a cabaret in the form of Raymond Burton,
accompanied by David Harrison on Keyboards and Paul Drummer on
percussion, who sang all her favourite songs and set the evening off
with a swing. It was not long before the audience - including Leah,
were on their feet boogie-ing to the beat. Leah was showered with
flowers, presents, cards and good wishes by all those present. Many of
whom said that they would not have ventured out on such a snowy night
had it not been for the fact that the party was for Leah.
Leah has won countless awards for her acting, including one for  playing
a horse in Animal Farm... and we could not even see her face! Whatever
part she plays, she is always totally in character, and no matter how
small the part, Leah is always the one that the audience remembers!
You know the old actors adage, never work with children or animals -
well, HAODS and Henley Players have a slight variation on that one...
never work with children, animals or Leah!
All our good wishes go to our dear friend Leah on her 90th birthday -
and here is to many more!
