The Chairman's Welcome
A very warm welcome to Goostrey Rose Festival 2012. Let us hope that the weather will be kind to us this year.
Congratulations to Alice Keeling, who has been elected Rose Queen 2012, along with her attendants Olivia Burns, Katie Buxton, Kate Bowers, Megan Macauley, Elke Rottier and Caitlin Percy. I hope they all enjoy their special day on 30th, and their year representing Goostrey at various Rose Days and Fetes in the area.
Thanks are also due to our retiring Rose Queen, Honor Hocknell, and her attendants; Emma Harvey, Charlotte Rose, Charlotte Spears, Lily Porat, Anna Burns and Emily Nicholson. They have been great ambassadors for our village over the past year.
I am delighted that Ann Turnock has agreed to be our President this year. Ann was actively involved in Goostrey Pre-school for 30 years, spending many Rose Days caring for young children on the Pre-school float. Her daughter Angela was also Rose Queen in 1991. Ann is still involved in various village organisations, and sings in the church choir. I am sure everyone, including all the children she looked after for so long, will wish her all the best and hope that she enjoys her special day.
We are grateful once again to Goostrey Parish Council for their generous donation this year, and to our many patrons throughout the village, whose financial contributions continue to support the highlight of our village's calendar.
Thank you also to the many local businesses, whose continued support of Rose Day has enabled us to distribute the programme free of charge yet again. I hope that you will in turn support these businesses over the coming months.
Finally I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who help to make Rose Day run successfully and smoothly each year.
I hope you enjoy our website and look forward to seeing you on 30th June.
