HOW
CAN I SUGGEST ANY NEW IDEAS OR WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGED IN THE GALA
WEEK?
Things do get done throughout the week but as you would expect there is always room for more willing hands to help. The more volunteers the smoother the Gala week goes………..Contact any of the current Gala Committee for further details.
How do I become a committee member?
Please see an existing committee member or contact the secretary through this site.
When will there be a change of committee members?
There will be a
change when more people come on to the committee and offer their services.
THE
GALA COMMITTEE ARE ‘ALWAYS’ LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS.
Is all the profit handed out at the end of the gala?
No, not all of it as
some money (enough to cover next years’ expenses) needs to be kept back in
case of falling income
What
is the date of next years Gala?
This cannot be
decided until the Gala Committee have agreed on suitable times for getting the
Marquee and this can only be done once the Marquee becomes available.
Does it look as though the Gala will continue indefinitely?
At present it looks as though the Gala will continue for a while yet, unless it becomes financially impractical, or there are no more volunteers coming forward.
