In this special Year of
Homecoming, the Maybole Gala King and Queen are Niall Murphy
and Sam Currie of St Cuthbert’s Primary School.
Their coronation will take
place on Sunday June 21 which is a big change for the town.
Normally the gala is on a Saturday but in this special year
organisers Maybole Community Association have made the event
bigger.
As well as the gala there
will be a market fair similar to the one held two years ago
and pipe bands will play in all surrounding villages before
coming together for a large parade in Maybole.
More details.
Funding for the event is
being provided by Events Scotland and an application for
further funding is with South Ayrshire Council.
In another change, instead
of Glebe Park, the events will be held at the Greenside and
Maybole Town Hall.
And later in the evening
the Red Hot Chilli Pipers, who are in great demand all over
the world, will appear in concert in the Town Hall. Watch
out for further details on how to get tickets for this night
of “Jock ‘n’ Roll”!
The gala gets off to an
ecumenical start as usual with a special service at
Crossraguel Abbey on Sunday June 14, and there will be the
usual quiz and pet show later in the week.
As these are really
special events, the committee is looking for as much help as
possible and anyone who would like to volunteer to help is
asked to contact June Dunlop, Florist in Maybole High
Street, tel 01655 882210. |
