OK, so we say it every year……but honest…..it doesn’t seem like a year since the last one ! Have a great Gala Week everyone, fingers crossed for the weather and watch out for Anthony and the Gala TV camera….you’ve been warned !!!
It’s been on-line a few weeks and now it’s in the shops – get your 2009 Gala Programme around the town NOW !
Don’t forget there will be a webcam on the Gala Stage this year, so family and friends abroad can, either stay up very late or get up very early – (depends where in the world they are, I guess) and join in the fun.
If you’ve friends and family who’ll be away for Gala Week but would like to “join in” let them know !
Due to the general “credit crunch”, ferry fm isn’t broadcasting this year, we’ve decided to put the money towards more events throughout Gala Week – however, if there is enough interest from online visitors to this site, we will consider running the service as an online station for the week.
Would YOU listen on line ?

As sponsorship opportunities are greatly reduced this year, we’re running fundraising events in the run up to Gala 2009.
The Gala Committee meet on the first Wednesday of every month at 7.30pm in the back lounge of McNamara’s, High Street.
A BIG thanks to everyone who took part in what could well become an annual event. The hall was packed and the talent was, well, look at the pics and see !
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.
