Flower
Festival
September 1997 also brought the
St. Theodore's Flower Festival and Parish Exhibition. While undertaken
as part of the Centenary celebrations it nevertheless resulted in
a profit for the Restoration Fund further aided with the publication
and sale of Flower Festival Notelets
The Flower Festival was arranged by one of ten committees that had
been established to engineer various projects all aimed at realising
the restoration.
The other committees included:
Publications - a Centenary Brochure was published and A History &
Guide to
St. Theodore's Church |
