The selection evening will take place at Oughtibridge Chapel, Church Street on Saturday 23rd March at 4pm, it should only take around half an hour. You will not be judged on the content of what you say; these activities are simply to allow our panel to see if you can speak clearly and confidently in public. The panel will be people who are ‘independent’, i.e. who have no personal connection with any of the applicants. Every applicant that can do this will have their name put in to a hat and the Royal personage and attendants will then be drawn at random. After the draw has taken place a photograph of the Gala Royalty and their attendants will be taken for the Gala Day programme.
Please complete the online application form below by 1st March 2019, or download and return this letter and form to a committee member.
Thank you.
