The Lochgelly Gala Committee has been encouraged by the comments they have received about the 2024 event in August.

There have been one a few observations which could help see improvements take place in 2025, and all this will be discussed at Monday’s annual general meeting to be held at Torley’s, on High Street, at 6pm.

Two of the brightest aspects of gala day, in August, were the best decorated premises in the town and the floats competition.

The Best Decorated Premises award went to the Hyperclub, on Main Street, which dazzled the judges with its handmade decorations and creative theme ‘that captured the essence of the Gala spirit’.

The team at Hyperclub did put in a tremendous effort, and their hard work paid off as they were recognised for their contribution to the festivities.

Lochgelly West Primary School stole the show with their impressive miners float, earning them the title of Best Float.

The school's float, designed by students, staff, and parents, was a true community effort. The colourful and imaginative display wowed spectators and judges alike, making it a standout in this year’s parade.

But on the down side there were concerns over the quality of the gala bags and the way queues were organised at the public park.

So the committee is asking people to table their thoughts on how things can be improved at Monday’s meeting, at Torley’s, either through going along or by dropping in a note on their views, or by sending an email to committee secretary, Kelly Mackay.

Kelly said: “We want as much feedback as we can get on the 2024 gala day and thoughts about the way ahead so if people can come along on Monday or give us their feedback we would be delighted.”

If you have some information or ideas which could help the gala committee in their bid to improve things go along to the AGM, or email Kelly on kellymackay007@gmail.com.
