CARNOUSTIE GALA
INTRODUCTION from CHAIRPERSON
Dear Friends of Carnoustie Gala
This year Gala Day will be on Saturday 3rd July 2010
!! The theme this year will be " THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT "
This year and we are again inviting
teams to consider entering a Walking Float as well as the usual Decorated
Floats or any other type of vehicle, or just join in the Parade and enjoy
the walk.
A Walking Float is one where teams dress up and walk the parade as opposed
to the usual decorated float. The Walking Floats will have their own category
for judging.
All floats will take the usual route from Panmure Industrial Estate along the High Street before arriving at Carnoustie House Grounds for final judging.
If you would like to take part in the Parade in any way, please advise the Committee as soon as possible.
If you would like to have an event/display/perfromance etc in the Arena on Gala Day, please contact Committee.
Remember if you decide to have a decorated float and
you need a vehicle you need to let the committee know as soon as possible
to allow us to advise Mr David Murray of the number of vehicles required.
Mr Murray donates these vehicles and his drivers give up their spare time
and we are grateful for their continuing support. PLEASE
DO NOT CONTACT Mr MURRAY DIRECT.
All matters involving Mr Murray's vehicles must be directed to the Committee. Due to the arrangements made by Mr Murray and his drivers, late cancellations will not be appreciated.
If you are entering a decorated float but are not using one of Mr Murray’s
vehicles please advise the committee as we need to know how many vehicles
will be in the parade.
Details of the routes will be attached to the relevant entry form.
Whether you would like to enter a
float, have a stall, an advert in our programme, make a donation or participate
in any way, please contact
