_This photo of Jayne Warnes, the winner of the inaugural Cr Carol Martin Millinery Competition is treasured by the AnnaRennieChapter as a reminder of a beautiful woman who's life we celebrate.  Jayne lived in Largs Bay and made our world a little more beautiful for 54 years until she sadly passed away on 29 June 2011. Jayne was integrally involved in the Competition since it’s beginnings but had been involved in millinery for many years before then, initially, as a competitive pony driver in the 1980s!  When competing, full costume was necessary but the cost of hats was expensive. So Jayne set about learning to make her own. Over the next 30 years Jayne’s creative millinery skill and talent saw her become Adelaide’s best known millinery guru winning many competitions  and tutoring and encouraging the incredibly talented up coming Adelaide milliners through TAFE. 

We are certain that Jayne is smiling down on us and is particularly pleased that from 2011 the Encouragement Award for the junior entrants in the Millinery Competition is named in her honour, the Jayne Warnes Prize.
