Ipswich Junior Eisteddfod » Dance Directory

The Ipswich Junior Eisteddfod Society Inc.

IJES was established in 1945, having celebrated 70 years in 2015.

A special moment during these celebrations was having 2 of the competitors from the First and Second Eisteddfod, perform on the Final Night of the Music Section.

(Mr George Hogg OAM, sang the Welsh National Anthem, Accompanied by Mrs Blodwyn Whitehead OAM, on Piano)

 From the first event held, each of the sections has been well patronised and supported by a wide network of hard-working Volunteers, Committee Members, Teachers, Competitor’s and guests.

 Known originally as the Ipswich Juvenille Eisteddfod, the event was held in the first 2 weeks of September on an Annual basis.

The input from many was required, and as listed below, the Management and the appointment/nomination of formal places on the various Committee’s was much higher than today.
