Caton Gala
The big day is nearly upon us, the event will start with the parade led by the Batalan Drummers leaving the Black Bull at 12 noon meandering its way to the field for 12.30pm when the President will judge the floats, ‘dressed-up’ bicycles and fancy dress - remember the theme for this year is ‘animals’.
Attractions on the field will include: Bungee Trampoline, Gyroscope, Rodeo Bull, Bouncy Castles, Birds of Prey display, Craft Tent, Fun Fair and many more stalls.
Following the success of the decorated bicycle competition last year we are including this again, so ‘dress up’ your bicycles and join in the parade.
Our Gala Queen and Attendants for 2008 are:
- Gala Queen - Megan Gosling (Caton Community)
- Attendants - Izzy Walker and Nancy Heeks (Caton St Pauls)
- Page Boy - William Minchom (Caton Community)
We would like to say well done to all the children who entered the drawing competition your pictures were fabulous. The winners are:
