CULTER GALA
GALA 2003: AUTUMN EVENTS
WE had two events arranged - a Gymkhana and a Race Night. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Gymkhana had to be postponed until a date in May 2004. That date should be available by the next Courier edition.
Race Night - Friday 26 September
This was a lively evening enjoyed by all age groups with about 80 participants. The Khyber Pass Association ran the evening for us with great expertise and we raised around £600 to add to Gala Funds. Moira Grieve provided excellent stovies and the younger ones enjoyed a lively disco afterwards while the geriatrics amongst us hobbled home.
Our thanks go to the Sponsors
of the Races: Culter Community Council, Graham Wight, Brian Smith, The Boys Club

Anyone who thinks they could offer some skills/energy etc. and has an interest in helping, please get in touch with a Committee Member.

DONATIONS FROM GALA FUNDS
NOW is the time for groups, which wish a donation from Gala Funds, to send in an application. Members of CCC prefer some idea as to how the money will be spent so please include this in your letter.
Disbursement of the available money will be made at the December meeting of CCC (date still to be confirmed) but requests must be received by Monday 8 December. Late applications will not be considered.
