If you can keep the ball rolling then you keep that £50!” 

These are the words spoken by Pat Simpsons husband in 1998, and 36 years later it’s still rolling.

Southwick Entertainers was formed by Pat, a former semi-professional singer after she moved to Southwick.

After the conversation with her husband Pat went into the village with flyers in hand to see if there would be any interest, and the rest as they say is history.

Our current chairman Jeff Bendell along with his wife Carolyn joined in the autumn of 1988, and they continue to be valued and important members of the group. You will usually see Jeff as our panto dame each year.

Sadly, Pat passed away in 2009 but her legacy lives on with the Southwick Entertainers  still going strong, ranging from 7 to 70 years (ish) one happy family supporting and caring for each other on and off the stage, and always putting on a great show for the local community and beyond.

New members are always welcome, no experience is necessary just a willingness to get involved, have fun and be part of something great.

Let’s keep that ball rolling!!
