Treasurer

Laurence Leng 

Laurence has been a fan of G&S since a school production of “Pirates”. He was an original founder member of the Society standing down a couple of years after its formation only to return again some four years later. Laurence took on the role of Treasurer in 2020.

Richard is the designer for the society. Like Sylvia, he helped out at the museum and designed posters etc.

He was also a founder member of the Society and now designs all the artwork for all events and produces the Newsletter.

There is something magical about singing and performing Gilbert and Sullivan, which Pennie has done from a young age.  Now through the Society and their Facebook, she gets to spread the word for generations to come.
