Nearly Ready!

We're putting all the finishing touches to the Gala now. The posters will be out soon, and  we really hope that there will be something for everyone. We'd really like volunteers on the Friday 10th at around 6pm to help us set up the marquees at Charlestown Green, and also on the Sat at 09:00 and 16:00. The Gala Committee only has a few members and family too, so the more the quicker and better - please! If you have any questions or points, do call me on  872 306 or 07767 011 588 or email on lcpgala@live.co.uk. If you want to post anonymously as you want to be 'hidden', you can always do it here!

Oddly enough, we will have 4 events in Limekilns and 3 in Charlestown. How's that for sharing villages!

All coming together!

The Gala Committee have been working hard to get this year's Gala events together and so far we're coming along quite nicely!  Janice is our star Fancy Dress Judge this year, so make sure that your kids are well turned out!...Ryan & Calder will be loaning their great Dog Agility equipment for our Child Agility Contest....Sara has bought two pop - up gazebos for our Gala stock...We will have two marquees' worth of Crafts and Goodies this year... We have enrolled Karl Pearson and Ben Gray to assist in the burger tent...We'll also have another hot food stall, so it won't all be BBQ'd food...Zumba Kat is getting her team ready for a great demo on gala Day...We'll have a man with exotic animals and beasts on Gala Day (tigers, a walrus and a giraffe...not really)...The Pirate Raft Race is getting loads of interest...I think we'll have at least 15 rafts invloved. The Race should be in The Press and Courier in the next few weeks! Why not get your company to sponsor a raft, or get the family , neighbours involved? It's all about joining in! The Ship Inn will have bands on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with a BBQ on the Saturday night!






On the tidying up side...We've still not heard from many who want to go to Fordell Firs... We'd really appreciate some volunteers on Gala Day itself as well as on the Friday evening (10th) to help put up the marquees... We're looking for some unplugged musicians to play between 12- 3pm on the prom at the raft race...We won't have a kids' craft tent this year...




All in all, this year's Gala should be the best ever - with the emphasis on sport and fitness. Watch out Dads...there's something for you to get involeved in too - and it's not only the beer tent!
