Our History – 2005

Our Citizen of the Year for 2005 was Paralympic gold medal swimmer, Andrew Lindsay.

Our Gala Queen in 2005 was: Jade Ridgley

Our Gala Princesses were: Afton Gordon & Claire Martin

It was another glorious sunny day in 2005 for our Gala with lots of amazing floats taking part in a huge parade through the town centre.


The sun certainly brought out the crowds at both the parade and the park events, as captured in these images from Stuart Duffy.
