Full programme for North Queensferry Gala 2010 unveiled

  • Let's make North Queensferry Gala bigger and better than ever this year - as seen in this photo from previous years...
This year's programme for North Queensferry Gala week has now been confirmed - with an exciting choice of events, and something for everyone in the week running up to Gala Day on Saturday 19th June.

Events get under way with a fishing competition on the weekend of Saturday 12th and 13th June, with all anglers welcome to take part and see who can secure the biggest catch.

On Sunday 13th June there's more action on the water with the raft race. Organisers are hoping to make this event even bigger and better than ever this year - so if you fancy getting out on the water, making a real splash and having some fun then this event is for you.

Pedal power will be needed on Monday 14th June for the Bike Races, while athletes will be legging it out on Tuesday 14th for the running races.

Wednesday night sees the annual football and netball events, while on Thursday 17th June you could be a star, and show off your skills at the talent show.

Finally, on Friday 18th June there's a chance to gear up for the Gala day by taking part in a scavenger hunt.

And once that's all over, on Saturday 19th June is the Gala Day itself, with stalls, floats, the parade, and of course the crowning of the Gala Queen.

So get out there and support your local Gala, and help to make this year's event bigger and better than ever! Organisers are hoping to see as many people as possible joining in the fun, and supporting what is a great local occasion.

Look out over the coming weeks as we bring you more details and news in the run up to the Gala.

And you can see more photos of Galas gone by here on the North Queensferry Gala Facebook group.

All good, but what time do the events take place and where?

I've got a team together and made a raft but what time does it start?

 

Lee Myles says

Could someone please tell me what constitues being from NQF???
I've lived (almost) my whole life in the Ferry, supported EVERY gala fundraiser event, and since I was a baby never missed a Gala.
It was my Grandad who organised the Gala day for YEARS, both my parents, Aunties and Uncles have ALL at one point or another hav...e been committee members.
Along with my Dad, a life long villager, WE were the ONLY two volenteers to get out of bed early on Sat to help set up the gala... which for the record was the best for quite a few years!
HOWEVER the day was tainted by the fact that my son was snubbed by the Gala Committee when I enquired about getting a lunch voucher for him (as we are not classed as Ferry People since we moved two miles up the road to Inverkeithing)!!!
This I feel is a total disgrace and quite upsetting!?!?!
