FLORAL FESTIVAL PROGRAMME
Children’s Procession This Morning The dhristehurch Floral Festival will end tomorrow, but there are still some colourful events to take place. At 10 a.m. today children will exhibit their floral floats along Park terrace in a floral procession. It is hoped that many of these floats will be taken later to join the other exhibits in Cranmer square, where they will be left until Monday. The New Brighton Trotting Club’s meeting has been delayed to 11.30 a.m., to enable the public to attend the procession. The club will also have special displays in the birdcage and .the members’ and stewards’ stands. At Abberley Park there will be a matinee and evening performance by the Theatre Arts Guild. Tomorrow the festival will finish with the inter-denominational floral thanksgiving service in Cranmer square. The National Council of Churches has organised the service, with the Rev. W. M. Hendrie preaching and Mr V. C: Peters conducting the choir of 500 voiced? accompanied by the Salvation Army Band.
