To all the Committees and helpers at Local Galas, Fetes, Crofters Shows and Festivals, which have been held throughout the year, a big well done and thank you. It's not easy in the current climate to put these events on, but you continue to persevere and provide Entertainment for your communities which is a fantastic achievement. You volunteer to give up your free time and give up your holidays for the enjoyment of others.

PLEASE REMEMBER, when these guys ask for help, help where you can, be it putting up and taking down Marquees, tidying up and organising events. It doesn't take long, and you will get the satisfaction that you are doing something good for your communities.

To put it simply, these events will not survive without your help.

All the best for the coming years and hope your events continue to be a success.

Much love from the Golspie Gala Committee.
