ORGANISERS of the Thelwall Rose Queen Festival are appealing for more people to get involved to help save the annual event from dying out.
Following on from last year’s Golden anniversary event the number of floats scheduled to take part in the June 20 event has dropped from 12 to four.
One of the organisers Rebecca Lord-Lyon said: “Unfortunately this year the Rose Queen is not doing as well as hoped after its Golden Anniversary last year.
“Once upon a time the procession had around 12 floats but this year we only have four confirmed.
“The committee is also a few members down this year and we really need new members and we also need helpers for on the day when setting up the field.
“We really need all the help we can get or the tradition will eventually die out.
