COWDENBEATH Civic Week Committee is on the search for gala queens of the past to take part in the 2017 parade.

Thanks to the Co-op the committee has four cars available to transport special guests in the parade and the committee feels it is an ideal opportunity to get former queens involved.

Said the Civic Week Committee's Alex Haddow: "It is very good of the Co-op to make these cars available so we thought why not see if we can find some former Gala Queens to take part in the parade through travelling in these vehicles.

"We know that there are quite a few former queens still living in the town and we would welcome them all to get in touch.

"They will be our guests on gala day and it would brilliant to have them with us on Saturday June 17."

Alex has asked former Gala Queens to call him on 07871965623 or make contact through the Civic Week Committee's Facebook page.
