A NEW committee has been formed to organise this year’s Cowling Gala.

The event – which has been running for more than 75 years – had been in doubt before five mums stepped in to take over the organisation.

It takes place on Saturday, July 25.

In the morning, there will be the judging of the handicraft competitions — for which entries are needed, as well as the pet show and baby competition.

The parade will start at 1pm and this will finish on the recreation ground, where there will be a fair, tea tent, beer tent, barbecue, various stalls, a face painter and a band will play throughout the afternoon.

Organisers are in need of raffle prizes and people to help out on the day.
