The events held in Westerton playing fields included archery, a giant 7-metre climbing wall, a giant bungee football match and whacky races. A packed hall hosted a craft fair, dance displays and clown show.

The Gala Day also raised funds for local, national and international charities, including 
Afasic East Dunbartonshire, Meningitis Trust for Scotland and Westerton PrimarySchool’s 
Malawi link. Bearsden South Community Council provided funding to support the event. 
Well done to the organisers!!

Helpers needed!

We have had lots of new people come on board - thank you all! If you can spare an hour or two in the run up, or on the day itself, it would be great to hear from you.
