Welcome to Caton Gala Homepage!
What will be
Caton Gala is looking forward to a great day this
year.
Caton Gala will take place on the 16th June 2012 at the Station Hotel
field This year’s theme is “The Olympic Games”. In keeping with this and
-as next year marks the Diamond Jubilee of the accession to the throne of Her
Majesty The Queen- we decided hold a bumper Gala to commemorate these events.
Entertainment
this year will be provided by means of a “Knockout Roadshow”. This event
provides ongoing entertainment combined with audience
participation
in the form of an “It’s a Knockout” type competition. We will be seeking teams
of six people from local pubs, groups, businesses, families and friends etc. who
can now register.
The main feature of the Gala will be the “Knockout Roadshow”. This is based upon
the popular TV series “It’s A Knockout”. This is an audience participation event
and we are now seeking teams of between six and ten people to take part in the
competition. Teams are invited from pubs, clubs, businesses and schools etc.
Unfortunately, for safety reasons, participants must be over 1 metre tall. Water
is involved so sportswear and a change of clothing is advisable. As the theme of
the Gala is “The Olympic Games” each team will be named after a country of the
world. Potential team captains are invited to contact Jacquie Smith (01524
771407) for registration details.
