Catterline Gala

The village gala team is in urgent need of 3 or more creative, hard working and fun loving people to join them in the Creel Inn over the winter to plan the 2010 Catterline Village Gala.

If you are over 18, have the ability to come up with daft ideas and thrash them into shape with the team over a couple of drinks during the winter..... then coupled with a wee bit of hard work in spring time you could be just the person for us !

Please join us ... contact the gala team now using the email or phone numbers on the gala contacts page .....

It can't happen without YOU  !

.....Honestly ...It Can't......

When you bring your scarecrow to the gala on Saturday , please set it up in the Scarecrow Paddock which will be on the long side of the main marquee facing the gala field.  A hammer will be available to assist in knocking scarecrows in.

At the scarecrow paddock you will also find identification placards, please fill one in with your scarecrow's name and the name and age of the scarecrow builder and stick the placard in the ground in front of your scarecrow.
