Flower Festival at St. Anne's Church, Turton, 1997

Welcome to the 18th St. Anne's Flower Festival. My sister, Jessie Whittaker, was the originator of the Flower Festival (volunteering me as organiser! The Flower Festival was a means of raising monies for the St. Anne's Youth Theatre Group Jessie had a lifelong passion for music, being Musical Director for both Walmsley & Farnworth Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Societies for many years. Proceeds from the Flower Festivals supported many successful productions by the Youth Theatre Group, with Jessie as producer, and both the Flower Festival and the Youth Theatre Group provided a focus of involvement of all sections of the community. Our thanks is due to all those who have worked so hard for the success of these events. Sadly Jessie died last August, so please share with us a tribute in flowers to "Jessie's Musical Memories"....
