Gala Day Preparations

The nursery recognises the importance of the Gala Day to the local community and has participated in the procession since it opened in 1979!!! Every year parents are invited to form a nursery Gala Committee. They are responsible for the final decision and design of the outfits that the nursery participants will wear. The Committee have to source and work out all that is needed to make the outifts. They then have to organise making up a pack for everyone who is taking part. They often involve the wider parent body by having an evening in the nursery. The jobs are wide ranging and can include making wigs, cutting material and even making cups of tea to keep everyone going!!! This years’ gala preparations and well under way with the theme decided upon and items being sourced. This is a special year for Armadale Gala Day as they celebrate 100 years of processions! We are all looking forward to this special celebration!
