Last year the Fancy Dress competition reached new heights. It was great for the kids and their families and also the waiting crowd as the children were led to the Gala Site (from the Village Hall) by Strathisla Pipe Band

Join us in Portgordon for what promises to be a fantastic day for all the family

There was some disappointment last year when the joint exercise didn't take place due the the Sea King being unavailable due to an emergency, although the crew were kind enough to do a fly-by on the way back to base - The lifeboat came as planned and played it's part in what was described as the best Gala yet - we were helped by having fine weather. Lets hope for more of the same this year


Portgordon Charity Raft Race and Gala Day is organised each year by
Portgordon Community Harbour Group

Charity Raft Race

Come along and watch the fun unfold as participants try to win the £100 prize for charity

Always a great crowd pleaser - A crew from Buckie Fire Station won last year and as a result the Firefighters Benevolent Fund was richer by £100 - will they be back to defend their title this year - you'll have to wait and see

it's not just about winning though as taking part is a way of having some fun with friends and of course there's the challenge of making a raft - just the thing to be doing on these lighter evenings

The day promises to be full of fun so make sure you bring the family along to the day when we will endeavour to provide something for all
