Parade on Gala Day 1990
The 1990 Gala procession makes its way along London Road heading towards Quebec Avenue. Note the children just casually seated on the trailer in a less regulated age.
The Gala would last just two more years after this one and after the 1992 Gala the Committee called it a day. Why? The answer is not straightforward and was the result of a combination of facts – the ever more difficult constraints of work/life balance and less time for young families, the increasing difficulties of a serious 45 minute road closure, tightening of commercial belts amongst the businesses around the town and good old ‘health and safety’ all played their part.
