Village Gala Day (Sunday)
Saturday, July 11th, 2009Gala Day Poster
It’s our village’s annual Gala Day tomorrow. It’s an important fund raiser for our village Sports Association which controls the playing fields and pavilion – providing sports facilities to local kids and adults – primarily football, cricket and bowls. After some problems and disappointing Galas in recent years this year’s event should be back to full strength (info here)
Ali & I are helping by running a mini-soccer tournament for local U8 & U10 teams in the morning.
I’ve also been involved in some of the organisation – there’s some very talented and comitted people working together to get this done – and I’ve been helping with some promotion.
We made a formal press release and were helped by Richmondhsire Council distributing it to local media – it’s delivered us articles in local/regional press (see here – although they did manage to print the wrong day!) and promotion on local radio – with one station recording an interview with the Sports Club chairman (BobT) for broadcast on Sunday morning.
Here’s hoping for decent weather tomorrow.
