The Gala Committee meet on the first Wednesday of every month at 7.30pm in the back lounge of McNamara’s, High Street.

Our thoughts and sympathy go out to the family of  Frank Mc Carthy who passed away this week.

Frank was a well known figure about the town and could often be heard leading a song every weekend and of course over Gala Week from his pub Fiddler’s Green. (All the louder when they claimed the PO)

Frank will be sadly missed by not only his family, but by the many visitors who joined him in the bar over the years and sang their hearts out by the fire.

May He Rest in Peace.

Last year Portaferry doubled as a Devon coastal town for The Invisibles…. this year it’s Yorkshire !

Anyone around the town this week can’t help but have noticed the WW2 Soldiers, GI’s, period cars and em, The Palace Picture House which has magically popped up in the square……
