Originating from the Marneth family, the so-called Marneth group has developed into a flourishing society with a membership that has, for a long time, consisted of more than just family members. The society currently numbers about 30 active permanent members. All through the year these people are busy constructing a float for the annual parade. Moreover, they are working on the maintenance of the dahlia bulbs and fields. Young people form an essential part of the parade. Every year we have participated in the parade with at least one float for the young. This wagon is designed by youth members, if necessary, with the assistance of other members. The young are also responsible for sticking on the flowers in the weekend of the parade. In this they are supported by a special youth supervisor who is a member as well. During the weekend of the parade, the number of assistants may amount to as much as 100.

In its present form the society was founded in 1993 during the annual meeting of the Marneths in January. It was at this meeting that the idea of taking part in the flower parade was launched. The overall enthusiasm that followed resulted in participation in the Lichtenvoorde parade with the first large and impressive float. It was built in an assembling hall of Magis Ltd., a transport concern on the Weyenborgerdijk. The participants were so pleased with what they were working on that they decided to look for a permanent building site. And so a romney pilot was purchased which, with their kind permission, could be placed on the premises of Lesli Ltd. for years to come. At present we are using a piece of land on the Derde Broekdijk. Here the very same romney pilot was rebuilt in 2000.
