Bridge of Weir Gala Day
10 June 2023 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Bridge of Weir Gala Day is back!
After the covid years, we had high hopes for last year which went really well, apart from the torrential rain and gale-force winds! We aren’t conspiracy theorists (yet!) so, undaunted, we
are having another go!
As always we are indebted to our sponsors whose generosity is much appreciated and to the local restaurants and takeaways who have donated vouchers for the raffle in aid of Calums Cabins.
We look forward to seeing you all at Gala Day.
The Committee
The committee is made up of willing volunteers from various organisations within the village, as well as some individuals who just want to do their bit. New committee members are always welcome, especially those with great ideas.
Committee meetings are on the last Tuesday of each month at 7pm in Hope Hall. We are grateful to Hope Hall for the free use of their facilities.
