Gala 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.
