Safety
Think Safe and Be Safe

We ask for you to be careful when working on your entry and taking part in the parade.
Please do not discharge any fluids or items from your float that may offend or injure other entries or the public.
Pay particular attention in respect of vehicles with a raised platform and take precautions to prevent any person
falling off when moving around or when the vehicle is in motion, especially when starting off or braking.
All in all it just takes a bit of common sense.
The stewards are there to help you and they may ask a person to leave the parade if thought to be unfit due to alcohol consumption.
Come on! get involved for the fun, the town and the community.
Please remember it is you the public that make the parade, not the Kelso Laddies Association, please make an effort to join in,
it is great fun, just ask anyone who has been in the parade.
Prizes for this event are kindly sponsored by:
