Remembering John Leach
In March HATS said goodbye to long-standing member John Leach after he sadly passed away following a battle with
cancer. A member of HATS since 1996, John lent his talents to many productions over the years, from pantos to farces and murder mysteries.
​
John especially enjoyed acting in comedy and farce productions where his superb​
comic timing (and, in his last ever HATS production Stand and Deliver, his rendition of a Yorkshire accent!) really shone out. His friendliness, sense of humour and readiness to help new members feel welcome made him a popular member of the group.
John, it was ‘champion’ knowing you, and you are very much missed by us all. Our thoughts are with Margaret, Stephen, Kathryn and the rest of John’s family at this sad time. Our 2025 panto will be dedicated to John’s memory, and proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Sarcoma UK.
