MILES BROWNING

It was with much sadness that we heard of the passing of Miles, taken far too soon. Miles was a stalwart member of Crewkerne Players and then CUDOS following the merger with CAOS. Miles was an accomplished actor with great comic timing and he “embraced” the song and dance needed for musicals. He served on the Committee for many years and was the Society Archivist. In recognition of all his hard work and commitment, he was awarded Life Membership. We shall miss you Miles. Our condolences go to his family.
