🎉 Biggar Gala Week AGM – We Need You! 🎉

Gala Week is one of the highlights of the Biggar calendar – but it takes a small but mighty team of volunteers behind the scenes to make it happen! ❤️

📅 Friday 30th October
⏰ 7:30pm
📍 Fleming Arms – Back Room

The Gala Committee works throughout the year to organise events, fundraise and bring our community together for a fantastic free week of celebrations.

We’re always looking for new faces, fresh ideas and extra pairs of hands. No experience needed – just a bit of enthusiasm! 🙌

Fancy getting involved or simply finding out more?

Come along – everyone is welcome! 🎉

❤️ Let’s keep Biggar Gala Week thriving!
