Timed so they didn't detract from each other. Bands playing between halfpipe displays. 8/26/2018 2:26 PM 102 More live music 8/26/2018 2:25 PM 103 Nothing it was fabulous 8/26/2018 2:23 PM 104 have people or stands with info about what is on and where. we saw the half pipe and then the inflatables which we didn't wait in the queue for as it would have been a long wait. 2 children at a time? wow. Didn't see the climbing wall yet. where was it? This could have been a much more organised event with not a lot more effort. The kids enjoyed the show anyway. thank you 8/26/2018 2:23 PM 105 Put the live music in the gardens too 8/26/2018 2:22 PM 106 nothing it ess all just perfect and well orginised. 8/26/2018 2:11 PM 107 other activities for kids like stalls facepainting 8/26/2018 2:11 PM 108 Stalls & roundabouts for the kids 8/26/2018 2:10 PM 109 Perhaps having it all in once place, at Netherdale or in one of the large parks!! 8/26/2018 2:10 PM 16 / 18

17 110 the council could have cleaned up the street before the event. I took part in the trifitness taster classes and the pavement was a a mess that would have only taken a few mins to clean up. 111 The practice sessions/coaching to be more organised, maybe have the event run later in the day with something else on till late evening. 8/26/2018 2:08 PM 8/26/2018 2:06 PM 112 Put things together, I understand the thinking behind it but it made it look a sparse in areas 8/26/2018 2:02 PM 113 None it was great 8/26/2018 1:59 PM 114 Independent food vans. Good fresh food with vegetarian options 8/26/2018 1:59 PM 115 Not closing Bank Street. People are too lazy to walk anywhere and this closure was to the detriment of several of the businesses here 8/26/2018 1:49 PM 116 none 8/26/2018 1:48 PM 117 none, it was a great day all round 8/26/2018 1:45 PM 118 another bouncy castle maybe eslewhere in town as there was big ques for the one that was there 119 Queue management, more of some activities to enable quicker through put, e.g. climbing wall with 4 sides rather than 2 8/26/2018 1:45 PM 8/26/2018 1:44 PM 120 food and drink at the music stage would have been good. 8/26/2018 1:32 PM 121 Absolutely nothing all events was spread well out. 8/26/2018 1:32 PM 122 Very disappointed the bmx event in bank st gardens was late to start. Due to other comitments thats day we aere unable to stay. My 8yr old was very upset he didnt get to see it! 8/26/2018 1:29 PM 123 have ramps and poles in bank street 8/26/2018 1:24 PM 124 There could have been more advertising as I was working a lots of people didn t know what was going on 8/26/2018 1:20 PM 125 not so spaced out over the town 8/26/2018 1:15 PM 126 More for kids e.g face painter, opportunity for locals to sell produce / crafts 8/26/2018 1:15 PM 127 More signage of what was on where 8/26/2018 1:14 PM 128 Can t fault the whole experience. Well done Bill Jeffries and the other unsung heroes. 8/26/2018 1:13 PM 129 An small outside bar area at bands area would have been nice. 8/26/2018 1:11 PM 130 Bank street display starting in time 8/26/2018 1:09 PM 131 Market stalls promoting local produce. Hot food and bars. 8/26/2018 1:07 PM 132 I know it was free but queues for the attractions were long - ok when the children are a bit older but the bouncy castle for example, over half an hour for a 3 & 4 year old to queue was a wee bit too long. I m not complaining tho 8/26/2018 1:07 PM 133 More stuff to see 8/26/2018 1:02 PM 134 none 8/26/ :59 PM 135 Just the timings - think it was different to the programme. 8/26/ :58 PM 136 Nothing - I thought the day was very well organised and went smoothly. When the displays weren't on lots of other things to enjoy. 137 With all the events spread out around the town it made it harder for first-time visitors to find, I felt that maybe a layout plan or map on your facebook page would have helped. A great day though with lots going on- thank you Galashiels! 8/26/ :39 PM 8/26/ :30 PM 138 Food & Drink stalls 8/26/ :11 PM 139 make it better for younger kids 8/26/ :06 PM 140 A bigger clumbing wall as the waiting time was ridiculous. 8/26/ :02 PM 141 Cafe we visited didnt know all details regarding event and struggled to cope with demand - perhaps "Extreme" poster at first glance didnt catch everyones full attention and I only saw this on FB 8/26/ :46 AM 142 maybe an event for teenagers 8/26/ :44 AM 143 no change required, everything was great, including the weather! 8/26/ :34 AM 144 mountain biking demo. 8/26/ :34 AM 17 / 18

18 145 A bigger bouncy castle or more than one bouncy castle so less queueing. 8/26/ :33 AM 146 Shorter queues for the kids activities 8/26/ :32 AM 147 The music stage should be central with the team extreme, everything was too spread out, no one knew about the music. Some local food stalls and local cafes running pop up stalls for food/coffee maybe? There was space on the street that was closed off. There could buskers on the plaza where the music stage was. 8/26/ :31 AM 148 Nothing it was great 8/26/ :21 AM 149 Encouraging peolle to make use of long stay carparks and coyncil car parks and not to clog up supermarket carparks. even if they want to allow extwnded parking foe the event. plenty parking in Gala that could have been utilised 8/26/ :10 AM 150 lots of shows 8/26/ :09 AM 151 It may have went on after 4 Maybe till 8 ish and keep the people entertained naybecwith a band in Bank Street Gardens as a finale 8/26/ :07 AM 152 Not sure as it was well organised and stewards were very helpful. 8/26/ :06 AM 153 Nothing really. Came to see team extreme and they were fab 8/26/ :04 AM 154 set up time for first show was slightly delayed, ok because weathee was good but think people would have left had it not been nice! 155 Not for me as a spectator but maybe more bouncy castles as kids had to queue and wait which is fine but kids get bored easily. Happy kids makes happy parents 156 That there was more independent shops to visit afterwards. Or a variety of stalls selling local goods. An indoor centre such as old post office offering other activities and taster sessions. Longer term gala would benefit from a ten pin bowling lane, go karting, escape room experience, all things that cities offer, we need to keep people here 8/26/ :03 AM 8/26/ :02 AM 8/26/ :00 AM 157 have display area set up the nite before sa ve people standing waiting 8/26/ :58 AM 158 More things to do 8/26/ :55 AM 159 None 8/26/ :53 AM 160 Make the climbing wall adults only for half an hour! 8/26/ :52 AM 161 Zumba music was far too loud! Scared my toddler. 8/26/ :51 AM 162 making my ex bf fall in love with me 8/26/ :45 AM 163 None 8/26/ :44 AM 164 Have 2 larger bouncy castles to reduce waiting time. 8/26/ :44 AM 165 Places to allow people in wheelchairs and kids in buggies to get optimal views of the team extreme ramp if they want to see it. When stuck at one side I found that we missed most of the action. 166 Was quite difficult for children to see the stunt show over adults,a designated area at the front on both sides would be better 8/26/ :41 AM 8/26/ :41 AM 167 More stalls selling food, drinks, local produce... 8/26/ :40 AM 168 n/a 8/26/ :39 AM 169 more things going on- involve more local groups and crafters and sellers 8/26/ :38 AM 170 Nothing 8/26/ :36 AM 171 all.in one area or helpers to.guidw where all.is as not all knows where what etc 8/26/ :36 AM 172 Food stalls on the street from local shops 8/26/ :36 AM 173 i couldnt find a timetable of when things were on so missed most of the team extreme 8/26/ :35 AM 174 That my confident 6 yr old could of tried the bmx pipe as was for age 8 upwards, maybe ability and confidence would of been nice or even a wee go on a skateboard! You guys inspire you but he was gutted to not be able to ride 8/26/ :35 AM 175 Nothing 8/26/ :35 AM 176 more activities 8/26/ :34 AM 18 / 18
