David Owen

It is with much sadness that Footlights have learned this week that our former Director David Owen passed away on Thursday 28th February.  David joined our society in 1996 when it was Saundersfoot Musical Youth and he then renamed it to become the on-going ever successful Saundersfoot Footlights.  David was a very talented man and his directing skills certainly showed that off.  A lot of people made friends with David over the years through the society and it was fair to say that you never left a room without a smile on your face after being in it with David, he really was an entertainer.  He will be greatly missed by a lot of members both past and present and those who knew David are certainly left with a lot of happy memories and will always recall all the fun we had with him over the years.  Our thoughts and sympathy go to Joyce and her family at this very sad time.
