It is with great sadness that
we have to report that Margaret Allen died as a result of
a car accident on Monday 15 January 2007. Margaret was heavily
involved in many cultural organisations in Dudley including
the original Dudley International Piano Competition which
ended in 1995. It was her dogged determination that saw it
restart in 2000, originally as a one off to celebrate the
millennium but repeated in 2001, since when it has become
a biennial event. Margaret was a Trustee and Vice-Chairman
of the Competition and well known ‘front of house’
as the compere at all the stages, but most of her work was
behind the scenes in fund raising, getting advertisers to
take space in the programme and generally drumming up interest.
In all these endeavours she was very persuasive and successful.
Margaret is missed by us all and her death leaves a hole that
will be very difficult to fill.
A E Mould, Chairman
