Jeff
Harwood 28 November 1961 – 30 October 2020 We are sad to announce that our beloved Jeff passed away peacefully on Friday 30
October 2020 Our thoughts are with his Family at this sad time xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jeff had been actively “treading the boards” since 1976, but his first production with MOS wasn’t until 1990, when he appeared as Big Jule in “Guys & Dolls”. . |
Jeff played many roles for MOS including Mr Bumble in “Oliver!”, Fatty Arbuckle in “Mack & Mabel”, Mayor Shinn in “The Music Man”, Sam Silver in “Copacabana”, President Roosevelt in “Annie” and Franz Liebkind in “The Producers”; but will be remembered by most as the classic Pantomime Dame (and as “Tiny” one of our “Seven Dwarfs”!!!). as well as working tirelessly behind the scenes, serving on the Executive Committee from 1993 – 2016 variously as Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and Publicity Officer |  |

 | sad to announce the death on Wednesday 3 June 2020 of Society Vice-President Jackie Hart pictured here in July 2017 receiving her NODA 60 year award |
A Message from Pat Browning, President of Margate Operatic Society I would like to take this opportunity to pay a very special tribute to my very dear friend of over 50 years with a little history of Jackie and the MOS. Jackie first joined the Society in 1956 as a principal dancer playing the' Ballet Laurey' in Oklahoma, a part which she repeated in 1970. Over the next few years as well as being a principal dancer she took on various Principal roles in many of our musicals such as Brigadoon, The Desert Song, Showboat, Gays the Word, Half a Sixpence, The Pajama Game and Camelot. (Not forgetting of course her appearance as a monk bell ringer!!.) During those years the Society only performed one show a year and many of the members thought they would like to do more and so it was decided to do a variety show and from small beginnings at the Cliftonville Hall, to the Granville Theatre then, after a chance meeting, to the Lido Theatre in 1972 when Showtime was born. Jackie was asked to take on the responsibility of the whole production, which, luckily for us she agreed to do. Showtime then continued during the rest of the 70's and in to the 80's when we later transferred to the Winter Gardens and ,I have to say that, it was Jackie's talent, drive and determination which led to the success of Showtime in becoming such a popular seasonal attraction for Margate as well as enabling the Society to realise their dream of 'A Home of our Own' …The Mews. Jackie also was involved with the admin of the Society, having served on the Social, Building and Development and Executive Committees and became Vice Chairman and later Chairman of the Society. Meanwhile Jackie was assisting as Choreographer to Ray Jeffery and then went on to direct her first musical, Brigadoon in 1982 and this was followed by a succession of further shows which included Half a Sixpence, South Pacific, Irene, The Music Man (twice) ,Hello Dolly, Mame, The King and I, The Pirates of Penzance (both here at the Winter Gardens and the Society’s only outing to the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury), Me and My Girl, Brigadoon, 42nd Street, The Sound of Music and Oliver. There is no doubt that Jackie was a most loyal and hardworking member of the Society and over the years was responsible in so many ways for the success which the Society enjoyed during her time with us and I know she will be greatly missed all who knew and loved her. Dear Jackie, Rest in Peace |

PHIL HUGHES 21 August 1942
– 22 August 2019 |
We are sad to announce the death of our friend Phil Hughes, who, after
a long illness, passed away in the early hours of Thursday 22 August 2019 We at MOS feel so honoured to have been the last company he was Musical
Director for. Phil was very ill for the final performance of CATS, but ever the
trouper he conducted through to the end, and it was a truly emotional end to
the show, with the entire company gathering in the wings for the for the final
the playout. We were the lucky ones that he chose to share his inordinate talent
with over the many shows he worked on with us, and we can't believe we won't
see him sitting behind the keyboard at the Mews again. However, the angelical choir will welcome him with open arms as we did ... Especially when he tells them all to 'pick a note'! ****************************************************
Since retiring
from the Royal Marine Band service in 1983, as Corps Bandmaster and Chief
Instructor, Phil had continued his teaching career at the Kings School,
Canterbury where he taught Piano, Keyboard, Theory and Music Technology. Phil was
involved in many varying aspects of music, from Classical to Jazz, and to Pop,
running a popular dance band for many years. He has also been responsible for
arranging the music for the Summer Season and the local talent competitions
held at the Winter Gardens. Phil was Musical Director for the MOS productions of 42nd Street, Oliver!, The Music Man, Copacabana, Annie, The Producers, Legally Blonde and most recently for Cats; as well as for our recent productions of Showtime, A Night on the Town and for our early Pantomimes. Our thoughts are with Joy and his family at this sad time. |

VICTOR GEORGE PEGG
With regret we must report the death of Society stalwart Vic Pegg, who was active in the Society between 1953 and 1966,
but has since remained a loyal and generous supporter of MOS, who sadly passed away on 11 February 2014.
Vic’s first role was as the commissionaire in the night club scene in New Moon,
he went on to take on many leading roles suited to his rich baritone voice and his striking stage presence.
