DARWEN Gala organisers are looking for members of the community to get involved in this year's event.

The gala is on Saturday, August 16 on Borough Road Field.

Organisers need stall and float runners as well as local acts to get involved in the day.

Thousands of Darwen residents and visitors from across the borough visit the gala.

Damien Collins, events organiser, said: "The day will feature a fun fair, road parade, the tower race and Land Rover trips to Darwen Tower.
