A familiar face throughout Gala is Jim Murdock, Good Relations Officer of Ards Borough Council. On Gala Friday, Jim took to the airwaves of ferry fm and talked to local council members about their work, hobbies and memories of the Gala.
(he also sneaked in a few of his fav tunes as well)

After 40 years I’m a very lucky fella,
to be a part, with all my heart, of Portaferry Gala,
of all the prizes won, I always got the Booby,
thank God I’m here with all the rest, to celebrate the Ruby.
When thinking up this little ditty, all praise must go to Mary, Bernie
and their wonderful committee.
Liam Gilmore, June 2007

The event has grown and grown over the last few years, so we’d like to have an idea of how many are taking part earlier rather than later ! It’s not just for the serious runners either, so feel free to come along and join in the fun. Registration is £7, we are really pushing for relay entrants and would welcome as many as possible. There is no closing date, you can fill out the on-line form, or on the night, registration commences at 5:30pm. The venue for registration is the Church Hall, High Street, signs will be in place to direct. The race begins at 7:45pm. There is full changing facilities and refreshments are served after the event, plus each runner gets a much sought after Gala Mug.
