AN old tradition in a County Durham village could soon be revived.

An annual village gala used to be held in Middleton St George, near Darlington, including a procession of floats, jazz bands, fancy dress parades and sporting competitions.

The Middleton St George Community Partnership is proposing to revive the event with a two-day gala next year, including floats, a cricket match, knock-out darts and dominoes competitions.

Margaret Clemence is co-ordinating the project and would appreciate comments and suggestions on (01325) 332332.
