Pat Stoor – RIP
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I have to share the news that Pat Stoor, a renowned local teacher and artist and a long-time member and supporter of Lymm Rugby Club, sadly passed away on Friday 5th December 2025.
Pat will be remembered for her generosity and kindness, and her incredible ability as an artist. In September 2025 we launched the sale of “Images of Beechwood”, a set of pictures painted by Pat over a period of 10 years from 1994 to 2004 that reflect the history of our iconic club house and the wonderful game of rugby that is played here, all captured in beautiful water colours.
More details about “Images of Beechwood” can be found at;
Pat will also be remembered for her unstinting work in support of our annual Panto and summer Vaudeville shows. Her work created a multitude of incredible pieces of scenery including, the Giants Castle, Jack’s Beanstalk, London Street Scene, and Scrooge’s Office, to name but a few, all on “Sharks Tooth Gauze” a material synonymous with theatres, and which provided incredible backdrops to complement the brilliance of our on-stage performances. The majority of these backdrops have been carefully preserved and still exist today; you may see them in the future if you attend the Panto!
On behalf of Lymm Rugby Club I would like to pass our sincere condolences to Pat’s family at this very sad and difficult time.
