People seem to have lost interest in some of them - fewer floats etc. Pity as those who still go along seem to have a good time.

As far as I am aware the Wick Gala Queen and attendants are chosen after an interview at the school (they are nominated first). The smaller attendants are usually children known to the committee whose parents (or the children themselves) have contributed to the running of the gala. Its down to who you know, but I agree that if you are willing to put your time into helping the smooth running of the gala, and are active in the events eg floats, then its only fair that your child gets an opportunity to have the privilidge of being in the Queens Court.

yeah i know the methods used to pick the queen etc... just cant see how they can justify it. Nearly every year they're related to a previous!
