Lenzie Gala 2nd June 2007
This year as every year Lenzie held its annual Gala on the first Saturday in June at the Rugby Club.
The Gala kicked off at 12.30AM with a parade down Kirkintilloch road going from the Royal Bank at Lenzie Station.
The Gala Queen was chosen from one of the Primary Sevens from one of the
local primary schools together with and three attendants: Megan from Holy Family, Joanne from Lenzie Primary and
Rachel from Millersneuk Primary and the page Boy Jonathan from Lenzie Moss. 2007's Gala Queen was
Emma Sutherland from Lenzie Moss P7 she was paraded in style in a classic car to the Gala.
The Gala Queen was driven in a superb classic crown to the Gala where she was duly crowned.
Yet another superb day was had by all and we from Lenzie.org.uk would like to thank all those whose sterling work has
made this Gala possible this year and in all the previous years ...
... to the Community Council, for organising the event, Lynn Smith the Compere, the Scouts and Explorers for all their work on the day, Lenzie Rugby Club for the use of the field. All those who provided the stalls: the Scouts, Churches, the various clubs, etc. not forgetting those who have the unenviable task of clearing up afterwards and all those who came ... anyone we've forgotten to mention and even this year the weather which although threatening rain stayed dry.
But not least we should thank the superb entertainment from Lenzie Pipe Band, Stewart School of Dance and Rosebank Dancing School whose fantastic display of dancing was a joy to watch.
Stewart School of Dance and Rosebank Dancing School.
All the children seemed to have had a superb time. From face painting by the churches to hurtling down the bouncy slide
to hurtling round on the merry-go-round, they enjoyed it all. The Scouts yet again did a superb job feeding the hungry hoards
the mobile adventure course was yet again a success, the younger children enjoyed their trips on the steam train and the older
Kids (parents) enjoyed the spectacle.
We all enjoyed watching the four local Primary Schools battling in a tug-of-war competition ... which after several close called matches was won by Lenzie Moss - yet again!
(it must be the school dinners they feed them at Lenzie Moss!)
Lenzie Community Council is looking for volunteers to get involved in next years Gala Day. If you
