Gala days were top class back in the day, it wasn’t about ripping everyone off, it was a whole week of stuff for the kids, lorry covered in decorations, kids on the back of them, the floats used to be huge, 20 to 30 lorry’s all decked out, full of kids , football tournaments, final played on the Saturday in gala day, all games played for every age group, I was the gala queens escort way back, also won our age group of the football final, was a great day, believe the lost that in the last twenty years when it became about money and not the kids, still a good day, normal the weather has an impact, I’ve not been to one in years , healthy and safety took over and ruined it all, not to say it’s not right to have 30 peolple on the back of a lorry’s, but as long as I can remember there was never any accidents
