Exhibition shows music society involvement
The Patonga Bakehouse Gallery will host an exhibition in mid-July which will feature photographs, art work and memorabilia from Patonga resident John Twiner's long association with the Ashfield Musical Society.
Twiner, an 87-year-old WWII veteran, has been the president and creative power of the society for many years, painting the back drops and creating all the props for the theatre from his home in Patonga.
He, his wife Shirley and their daughters Carol and Wendy, have been involved in the performance of musicals such as Pirates of Penzance, Sweeny Todd, South Pacific and Anything Goes.
The family manages promotion, finance and ticket sales and donates all of their profits to charity each year.
