A short amateur film featuring the crowning of the 1992 Carlin How Gala Queen taking place inside the Carlin How and District Working Men’s Club on Brotton Road in East Cleveland. Before the announcement and crowning ceremony a children’s dance competition that features the previous year’s Gala Queen.
Inside Carlin How and District Working Men’s Club a group of small children walk in a circle around the dancefloor, on a small stage overlooking them a man and two women huddle together talking. One of the women uses a microphone to call over various groups of girls and boys of different ages to perform on the dancefloor. The children come over and begin to dance with each group’s performance ending with them walking in a circle following an older girl wearing a sash that reads ‘‘Carlin How Gala Queen.’
Around the room parents of the children sit chatting, laid out on a table a selection of prizes. A man sitting at the table is given a pint of beer changes to the children, now seated on the floor in front of the raised stage, being called up to collect a prize from the woman seen previous with the microphone.
With all the prizes handed out, and the recipients now standing on the stage either side of a decorative throne, the 1992 Carlin How Gala Queen is named. The crowd cheer and applaud as she come forward to take her seat. Resting on a cushion a tiara which is brought over to the Gala Queen by a small boy. The tiara is placed on her head by the previous year’s Gala Queen and a sash is placed over her shoulder. The ceremony over the audience applauds.
