IF THE WEATHER IS FINE
Pupils
can be collected at the
fenced area of the Douglas
Park; each school has a
clearly marked exit. Parents
should wait there, but
should not enter the
fenced area. Fairies &
Flowergirls can be
collected in the Douglas
Park after the Procession. Presentees
can be collected in the
Douglas Park after they have
danced at the Royal Command
Performance. Usually between
2.30pm and 3.30pm. The
Retinue can be collected
at the end of the Royal
Command Performance at
4.15pm.
IF IT IS POOR IN THE MORNING
BUT THERE IS A DEFINATE
CHANCE OF THE WEATHER
IMPROVING
The crowning will be delayed
until 11.30am. The Grand
Parade/Procession will still
take place as near 12 noon
as possible with the
presentees being presented
to the Queen but not
performing.
IF THE WEATHER BREAKS DOWN
DURING THE MORNING
The Fair Committee will
provide Rapmacs so that:
The pupils of the
Grange School will
attend the Town Hall to see
the crowning of their Queen
and can be collected from
the Town Hall at 12 noon.
The pupils of the Kinneil,
Public and St Mary’s
Schools will return to
their schools. They should
be collected from the
school. The pupils of
Deanburn School will go
to the Public School and be
collected from Braehead
Avenue (main entrance).
Blackness School pupils
will be bussed to Blackness
School.
The Retinue, Presentees will attend the Town Hall
for the Crowning and will
take part in the procession
using the trailers and buses
provided by the Fair
Committee.
The Retinue will have
lunch in the Town Hall and
can be collected at the end
of the Royal Command
Performance at approximately
4.15pm. If the weather is
poor the Royal Command
Performance will take place
in the Town Hall.
The Fairies & Flower
Girls can be collected
at Douglas Park at
the end of the procession.
Presentees will go to
Kinneil School for lunch
and then be bused to the
Town Hall, if the weather is
still bad, to dance in the
Royal command Performance.
Presentees can be collected
at the Town Hall as
appropriate once they have
performed.
If the Crowning is in
the Town Hall, only
The Retinue, Presentees and
the pupils of the
Grange
School are admitted. The
only adults allowed are the
Fair Guests and the Retinue
parents who will be issued
with special tickets. If the
weather has been bad in the
morning, it is unlikely that
the Royal Command
Performance will take
place in the Douglas Park
and will take place,
instead, in the Town Hall.
Entry is free to the public
but is limited to the
numbers allowed by hall
regulations.
IF THE WEATHER IS SEVERE
EARLY IN THE MORNING
The school will be informed
at 8.30 and the school
processions to the Town Hall
will be cancelled. Transport
will be sent so that
Fairies, Flower
Girls, and Presentees
can attend the crowning.
Parents can collect
Fairies and Flower
Girls at the Douglas
Park after the
procession and the
Presentees after
performing at the Town Hall
where the Retinue can
be collected at 4.15pm
As it is a school day, the
Fair Chairman will
consult with school Head
Teachers who will have
the final say on the pupil
arrangements in light of
changing weather conditions. |
