It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the death of Dominic Le Foe. Apart from his long association with the Players' he had had a remarkably varied career - in politics, business and on the stage. However it was his contribution to the Players' over many years for which we remember him, and for which we mourn his passing. His was the name that habituees - and sons of habituees - most looked for as Chairman on the song-sheets. His prodigious knowledge of Victoriana, his great store of personal recollections, and his extraordinarily rapid, often biting wit, made him the great, and loved  favourite of the membership.
When the club lost its theatre in 2002, it was Dominic who refused to let everything collapse. He had the confidence to begin again to stage Players' show, and - ably assisted by Maria St. Clare  - spent many long, fatiguing  days trailing to the store near Elephant and Castle to pick out costumes for the shows he produced and directed single-handedly.

We all owe him a great debt, and we shall all miss him.
