Chairman’s Message
Once again I would like to welcome everyone to Newtongrange Children’s Gala. This year more than ever we have had to work harder to raise the funds for the Gala in the current economic climate, but as ever, the people and businesses of Newtongrange have generously helped us achieve our goal of hosting the best Gala in Midlothian.
Many thanks go to all the Businesses who sponsor the Gala Events and take adverts in the programme, without which we would not have the finances to continue with this event.
Special thanks must also go to the Parents, Grandparents and friends of the Gala Court for all the effort that involves having a child on the Gala.
The Drivers who give up their time on the Friday evening and the Saturday is also a big commitment which deserves thanks.
The Gala Committee also gratefully acknowledges the help and assistance provided by Midlothian Council and Staff who put a tremendous effort to help with Labour and Equipment.
The Front Cover of the Programme was chosen from a competition run in conjunction with the Primary schools involved with the Gala, and the winner was chosen as Jack Webster from Newtongrange Primary School.
WELL DONE JACK !
Finally I would like to thank all the other people who help with the Gala behind the scenes, who are not on the Gala committee,
but help in other ways.
Thank You.
John Turnbull, Chairman
