One of the most
popular events of Thurso Gala continues to be the Gala Night Parade
of Floats. The amazing efforts made by groups of friends , families
and local community groups are very much appreciated and contribute
to making the evening such a success. This year we would like to bring
to entrants attention the Pre-Registered Float Fund. On the evening
of Gala Night, it will be at the discretion of the TTIA to award up
to £50 per float to floats taking part in the Gala Parade. This discretionary
figure could be awarded to any float with the exception of cash prize
winning floats. Float entrants are invited to register their float for
the Parade by 31st July 2010. You may register by e-mailing info@thurso.org
or by telephone on 07832 436004. |

All
TTIA profits are redistributed through projects within the Thurso area. |
