The Harbours Medical Practice opened their garden yesterday in memory of Jane.

Last year, we introduced the Parent Volunteer of the Year Award. This year, we renamed it the Jane Johnston Memorial Award in recognition of Jane’s contribution to the Gala for many years before she sadly passed.

We are delighted to announce that Kerryann Lees was this year’s recipient.

A few words from Kerryann - ‘ I was shocked to be awarded the Jane Johnston Memorial Volunteer of the Year Award. Also to be the first to receive this lovely award in memory of Jane.

Jane was such a huge part of our Gala and community.’

Another thanks to Michael and his team at Platinum Property Services!

Michael is always a huge support to the Gala, and without him there simply wouldn’t be a parade! He generously gives up his time on Friday and most of Saturday, as well as providing all of the drivers for Gala Day.

A huge thank you also goes to all of the drivers who also help make the parade possible.

This year was extra special, as his son Oakley was delighted to ride in the back of one of his dad’s lorries as a pageboy.

We are very grateful for everything Michael Burns does to help make the Gala such a success 🏆

We were delighted to have Tom Johnston as our Honourable Gentleman this year, accompanied by his wife, Lorna.

The Honourable Gentleman would normally travel in a car during the parade, Tom chose to keep the tradition up by walking the route, just as he has always does with his dad, Archie.
