Childrens Fancy Dress Competition & Parade

&

Parade

This event gets to be more popular and that's no surprise

It's a great day for the kids as they put on the fancy dress that's probably taken weeks to prepare and then after the excitement of the competition there's the Parade following the Pipe Band from the village Hall to the Arena

I say this every time - make sure you have your cameras at the ready to capture moments you will treasure for years

Another record for the month of June. Up 48% on last years June figure.

We have increased our capacity on the main website to allow more photographic content, even so we have to be careful because photo's are so memory hungry there is a limit to what can be put on. We get around this in part by reducing the size and quality of the images. We may address this by creating an on-line album in 'Flickr' or some similar hosting organisation - that's one for the future. In the meantime thank you for looking at this 'Blog' and also for visiting our main website at www.portgordonharbour.org

RAF Search & Rescue and RNLI Buckie Lifeboat

RAF Search & Rescue and RNLI Buckie Lifeboat will combine for a joint exercise on

Gala Day

Sunday 17th July 2011

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

click picture to enlarge

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
