Chairman's Message

Once again a very very big welcome to all who come along to Newtongrange to help us celebrate this
special event.
It seems more difficult every year to write a piece for this page, it is unfortunate that this small note from
myself goes nowhere near to expressing the gratitude that the local people & businesses deserve in
helping this week take place, without them the Committee’s job would be a lot harder.

I would also like to thank the committee for all the hard work done this year, a lot of new Committee
members joined us this year which is a very encouraging sign indeed, this bodes well for future years
and the Gala tradition continuing, a few events like this are starting to struggle financially and it is only
with local support they can hold on.

The Gala Committee and myself would like to thank some local people for their continuing support,
Mr Brem Trotter, Mr & Mrs A Trench, Mr & Mrs M Reilly, Mr & Mrs W Gallacher,
The Dean Tavern, The Abbey Granary, The Co-Operative & Newtongrange Community Council
for sponsoring the Gala Week events This goes a long way to raising the necessary funds we need every year,
the door to door collections are also a very important fundraising solution & as usual the people of Newtongrange dug deep and helped us collect in the region of £2000.
A very big thank you to them.

Midlothian Council & all their staff deserve a mention as well for the time effort & equipment they provide
to all Gala’s and events in Midlothian.

John Turnbull, Gala Chairman.
