News and Updates.

March 2026

Saddened to hear of the passing of former REMO member Will Morgan on 19th March 2026. Will joined the players in the 1970's and was in a number of plays and Pantomimes as well as providing us with musical interludes in the Panto's. He was the court jester in the 1973 panto Sleeping Beauty and did a duo with the cook, played by Trevor Pedley, who also sadly passed away around July 2025. Will and Trevor were also part of the group, Rydal Green, who performed in our 1973 Panto

I'd like to update with news but most I hear of now is of former members passing away. I have noted that FindMyPast, a genealogy website is adding more newspapers and these include Express and Star news with Articles about REMO plays and the occasional Photo in it.

In 2025 we have lost Jon Tame, (My Cousin) and Paul Davies who was a member of REMO for over 30 years.

I heard this month from a Martin Sharratt, to advise that his mother Gill Sharratt (Gill Banister) was a member of the REMO Players in the 1950's, who has sadly died recently aged 90. She wasn't on my list of early REMO players so I have now added her, with details of one of the productions she was in.

Sad news I am afraid. I have been advised by Laurence Foster that former member Dave Mobley passed away on Saturday 1st October after a short illness. He had been suffering from emphysema for some years but lately had a series of falls and contracted pneumonia. I have no other details at present. R.I.P. Dave.

In addition to being a member of the REMO players Dave also took a number of roles on TV, and some pictures of him in these Roles can be seen here.
Dave's Funeral Service was held on 16th November 2022 and the link below is to a film shown at the service, with Dave in a number of roles, including TV shows such as Doctors, Doctor Who, The Bill, Coronation Street and a few others. Film made for funeral service

I have heard from Steve Kirby, who joined the players when I was there and was still with them when I left in 1979. Steve has advised me of two more of the plays that the group did in the 1980's which I will add to the list. "Billy Liar" and the "Diary of Anne Frank" were the plays.

Steve played 'Billy' in Billy Liar and won the Wolverhampton Drama Federation best actor award, no mean feat when so many plays were adjudicated for the federation each year. He was also nominated for his portrayal of 'Otto' (Anne's Father) in the other play, but didn't win this time. Well done Steve and thanks for the information.

Matt Jeavons emailed, telling me he is the son of Pat Jeavons, nee Cohen who joined REMO from St Peters Drama group at about the same time as I did. He was asking what plays Pat had been involved in, but I can only find her listed in the cast of the 1972 and 1973 Pantomimes. If you know of any more plays she was involved with please let me know. Meanwhile I have send him a higher resolution copy of the picture of Pat which is on the Players page of this website

For Matt I found out this picture taken at 1966 or 67 St Peters Drama Group Christmas Party, showing Walter Jones, Barbara Goodwin, Glynis Evans (now Tame) Myself (Bob Tame), an unknown friend of Glynis, and in the red dress, Pat Cohen.


On the front Row, Elaine Hill (later Brindley) her boyfriend at the time (Clive?) and Rose Tame, the only one of my three sisters not to get involved with any REMO productions.

Walter, Barbara, Glynis, Myself, Pat and Elaine were all members of REMO at some time.

I regret to say I have more sad news, this time about a former member, Janet Hall, nee Lavender, who joined the group while I was there.

Her husband, Peter Hall, has found this page and has recently emailed me. He moved in with Janet in the late 1980s and they married in 1992. They were involved with several REMO productions, like "Underground", "Fur coat and no knickers", "Children's day" and "Abigail's Party" to name a few and he says he loved it.

He also told me that Jan appeared on TV in The Brothers, Angels and Play for today, She was unable to get an equity card at the time otherwise her life might have been quite different.

They left REMO around 1995 and retired in 1999 to the Isle of Mull in Scotland.
He says "We have been extremely happy here, but I lost Jan in September last year. I was devastated and still am. I am in touch still with Will and Chris Morgan and Steve and Jane Kirby."
He says they became avid birdwatchers after leaving REMO and he is now a wildlife tour operator on Mull.

Peter Hall has sent me some information on the plays produced in the 1980's and early 1990's which I have now added on the 'Plays' page of this site.
